Mary L. Beckwith was the charming hostess at a tea dansant December 30. The parlors and music room were alive with the happy chatter and dancing feet of the joy-loving crowd. Miss Mary Boyer, Louise Switzer, Catherine Hillebrandt, Catherine McMullen, Emily Ethell, Robert R. Powers, Au- gusta Pragst, Mildred Whetsel, Catherine Beckwith, Lucretia McMullen and Maude Powell, were the representatives of the normal at the Rotary dinner New Year's eve. Catherine Beckwith and Lucretia McMullen at intervals in the evening gave a Spanish dance, a ukulele selection and a jumping-jack dance, all in costume. The Cavan Welsh singers, immediately after their concert in Ashurst auditorium January 7, returned to the president's cottage where they enjoyed a delightful supper and the com- forts of an ideal home on a cold wintry evening. Mr. Tom Bellwood treated his classes and their friends to a skating party at the city park January 11. After the jolly skate Mr. Bellw-ood had a surprise for us! Hot dogs, coffee and toasted marshmallows. Nothing could have been finer. Miss Ada Fleming and Mr. Larkin were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. McMullen on January 18. The following Sunday Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Stevenson entertained the presi- dent's guests at a lovely dinner in Morton hall. Miss Ethell was the guest of honor at a delicious dinner given by the faculty in the domestic science dining room on January 24. Miss Ethell joins Miss Julian in the east. They will sail on the Baltic on February 2 and cruise the Mediter- ranean for sixty-five days. Literature and library extension of Woman's club met on Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Mary Boyer. Miss Boyer has never failed in rising to an occasion. She filled the place of Mrs. Lampland, whose illness made her unable to act as hostess. Miss Boyer gave an intensely interesting talk on Pioneer Women of Arizona. Miss Margaret Northrup, after her concert on March 3, was honored at a tea given by Mrs. McMullen in the domestic sci- ence department, where her charming personality proved as big a hit as her artistic singing. Miss Northrup is a very dear friend of Mrs. Rittenhouse of Williams. The latter was ill at the time of the concert, thereby being unable to attend. On March 8 Catherine McMullen was delightfully entertain- ed at a miscellaneous shower given by the girls of Campbell hall. The occasion was indicative of the coming wedding of Catherine in June to Murray Johnson of Johnson. One Hundred Sixteen

S., who was leaving for Los Angeles, the men members of the fac- ulty, and guests, united in a farewell duck dinner at the home of Mr. McMullen on November 6.

Those present at the dinner were: Mr. McMullen, who was host, Messrs. Hollar, John Quincy Thomas, superintendent of Flagstaff school, C. B. Wilson, Stevenson, Powers and M. I. Powers, guest of honor. THANKSGIVING CABARET DINNER November 29 It seems as though pages and pages could be written about this event which was unusual and clever in every detail, from soup to nuts, and the dancing afterwards. The tables in the dining hall were arranged around the sides of the room, leaving a space in the center for dancing. Black and orange crepe paper decorations were profuse. There were clever favors, caps, horns and place cards for each individual cover. The menu of cocktail, turkey and the trimmings, and dessert, would have satisfied the most exacting of epicures. During the meal musical selections were offered by Miss Arlis Miller, Miss Clara Johnson and Miss Catherine Beckwith, which were much appreciated judging by the response they received. After all had satisfied their Thanksgiving appetites, dancing was enjoyed until about twelve. We owe the in- dividuality and cleverness of this occasion to the senior class PARTY FOR CLARKDA LE October 13. e f Are we superstitious, or aren't we? That is the question. We play a game on the 13th Calmost Fridayj and lose. But we did not lose the game with Clarkdale because it was the 13th of October. It was because our boys were played out, the odds being that they had used up their pep in the game with Williams the day before. So we are not super- stitious. We showed it by entertaining 22 bashful visiting players lmaybe all of them were not bashful, anyway some wereh, and tried our best to get them to dance with our dear girls to whom boys are such a novelty. We had things to eat. of course, and yelling, and, oh, yes !-our first snow fell that night. We cannot forget that. i-lo-.i . A large audience greeted Miss Rena LaZalle, December 7, in Ashurst auditorium. Her memory will ever remain vivid to her hearers. Mr. and Mrs. MacMullen had a number of friends to an informal dinner after the concert to make the acquaintance of the noted singer. Misses Clara Wheeler, 'Emily Ethell. Helen Lamb and Al- berta Platz were guests of Mrs. Tom Rees at a lovely turkey dinner December 8. One Hund d F'ft

Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Thomas and the faculty of Emerson gave a lovely dinner in the domestic science department of the new high school. The domestic science girls prepared and served the savory dishes. Candles solely lighted the room in a very attractive manner. The St. Patrick's day colors were brought out in several original and attractive ways. The fa- vors were green and white carnations, nut cups were green shamrocks attractively made by the art classes. The clever combination of colors was drawn out to the last minute in the iced dessert. The dinner was a complete success. In the evening CMarch 137 the quarterly banquet for the seniors was given in the domestic science rooms. Several catchy duets were sung by Lucretia McMullen and Catherine Beckwith during the courses. The spring graduates were: Annis McGookin, LaPrele Crosby, Eugenia Shelby, Laura Hopper, Goldie Greer and Will Anna Stevens. On March 15 the dance which followed the presentation of the normal loving cup to St. Johns boys and Winslow girls was without doubt the biggest athletic dance of the year. Af- ter the games the boys and girls were tired, but when they heard the syncopated notes filling the air they remembered they were good sports, forgot their fatigue and plunged into the dance with new supplies of vim. March 17! What does that mean to you? St. Patrick's day and the annual Junior Prom! The hall was beautifully decorated with green and white crepe paper suspending from the ceiling and caught at the base by green shamrocks. The orchestra's box was a green bower of crepe paper. An Irish lilt was given by several junior girls for the entertainment of the crowd. Later in the evening the Juniors assembled in the front of the hall and lined up for the big feature of the evening, the Promenade. The Prom was a big success. The Juniors have earned their places in Who's Who as hosts and hostesses. Misses Cornelia Dockstader and Augusta' Pragst en-- tertained their student teachers at a lovely dinner served in the domestic science rooms on March 19. The students were Pearl Logue, Margaret Johnston, Nona Holsinger, 'Eva Moson, Mrs. Ollie Norman, Frances Stringfel- low, Ruth Campbell and Catherine Cooper. After dinner all gathered in the adjoining room and had much fun telling fortunes. Miss Pragst is quite a palmist. Our wide-awake student council headed by Willie Smith planned and gave a dance for the new arrivals of the new quar- ter. Owen Porter played the violin and was accompanied by Catherine Beckwith and Dorothy Jones, alternating. At 10:30 delicious chocolate and sandwiches were served in the domestic science rooms. Everyone spent an enjoyable eve- ning welcoming the newcomers. One Hundred Seve t
