It is always held at Uncle John and Aunt Martha Reyburn's because they have the largest house. After a great deal of correspondence, hours of planning on the tele- phone, and arguments about where the out-of-town relatives will sta arran em y, g ents are Hnally made, and the day of the gathering arrives. At six o'clock in the evening, the large white frame house is in readiness for the occasion. In the dining room the table is stretched to great length and laid with a snowy-white cloth. The cut glass chandelier reflects tiny gems of red, blue, and yellow, and the centerpiece of yellow jonquils and white narcissus is from Aunt Martha's garden. Some of the nieces and nephews have been helping with preparations during the afternoon, and are anxiously awaiting the rest of the crowd. Soon the cars roll up, and young and old pour into the house. Each aunt has her arms loaded with casseroles and dishes, for at our reunions each aunt contributes toward the feast with her special Confimzerl 011 next page 17

LITERARY CONTEST BANK-NIGHT Continued And Lizzie, who pretended not to rake the hint, answered: Yes, that's why I'm doing the washing today. But you never can tell, spring weather's so changeable. Later on in the afternoon, the old man had followed Lizzie to the back yard where she was gathering in her clothes. Say, Lizzie,', he said, wrinkling 'his brow, Do ya, know what ya' did with the picture show page of the paper? I wanta' see what's up to the Paramount tonightf' On being informed that his son had rake h n t e paper to work with him, the old man retreated into the houseiin a dejected manner, but with hope still springing in his breast. E Now, it was different. With only a few minutes left, he could not afford to beat around the bush, and so he approached the table where Lizzie was scraping up the dinner dishes. I Lizzie, he said If you'll let me h ' fi p , ave just fteen cents, Iill scrub the kitchen and clean the pantry for ya' tomorrow.

This band of loyal girls makes the society what it is today. The . members always uphold the ideals of the school as well as the society. , A ' The Delta Literary Society for girls was organized February 25, Q 1921. Although it is among the youngest of societies, it has risen to fame for its friendliness and literary interests. This year a new formal and very beautiful method of initiation has been adopted to be used in the future. The colors are of shades of green and white. The society dresses are always of this combination and are of a different style each year. The Delta flower is the lily of the valley. LITERARY CONTEST OUR FAMILY REUNION Continued salads, cakes, and other delicacies. Aunt Martha always makes the Parker House rolls, which everyone finds impossible to duplicate. The men carry card tables, that are to be used by the children, for, in spite of the size of the dining room table, there isn't room at it to accommodate them all. p In a short time everyone has arrived. The men gather in the living room to dis- cuss business, compare the points of Buick versus Dodge, and later turn their attention to the New Dealn and the weather. The younger children slide and race across Aunt Martha's new carpet, and touch their elders, who shriek as they jump- from the electric shock. Upstairs in bedrooms, and in the kitchen, groups of mothers discuss the latest spring fashions and recipes. Dinner is soon called, and the dining room swells with laughter and talk as every- one searches for his place card. The only quiet moment of the evening comes when Uncle John asks the blessing. Grouped at one end of the table, along with four dishes of olives, are all the young people, who are none too fond of family reunions, but come to enjoy the food, and because their parents make them. From their direction comes most of the laughter and wise-cracking. Tall, handsome young Ken, at home from college for the week-end, is the center of attraction among the young feminine cousins. The conversation of the adults concerns the absent relatives, their plans for summer E Confinued on next page 18 11.3.1 4 I Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 W elected, an consisted o and the Li year, and v vacations a to talk abo missionary attentionl' every wom: After evening of with paper the progran Reluct: Aunt Fanni may go to s the upieces' of the little number, eva relieved and Evelina, ve tributes the part, for sh.
