i l®iw It seems the world cannot exist Without the pleasure of the social list. Social life on the campus was started by the faculty on the evening of October 2, when a delightful reception was given honoring Dr. and Mrs. Cotton and the new faculty mem- bers. To call a reception delightful sounds absurd since re- ceptions are usually such stiff old parties, but the adjective is not at all out of place in this instance, for the faculty proved themselves such perfect hosts, that the reception was turned into a delightful party. Probably the autumn-colored decora- tions consisting of rich-hued leaves and ferns and plants to- gether with ice cream and wafers, did their little part in mak- ing the first dance of the year one of the very best. On the evening of October 4, a party was given in Tay- lor Hall, so that the boys might become acquainted with one another, as well as with Dr. and Mrs. Cotton. Games of var- ious kinds, intermingled with riddles and tricks kept everyone in a high state of hilarity during the evening. A number of old Normal songs were sung, and a few yells were practiced as a fitting conclusion. Two weeks later, the Eds of the campus gave their second party, however this time it was in honor of the new porch which had just been added to Mr. Stevenson ' s apartment. A second distinguishing feature of this party was that the boys ' ladies as well as the faculty were invited. However the party v as not a very dignified affair, in fact it was quite the oppo- site, the stunts and entertainment being of a rather spooky nature.

However the women were not treated in this cruel manner all evening, for dancing followed, and later a great big feed of hot dogs. If one phase of this party is forgotten, surely not every one will be. Following close on the boys were the girls of both Camp- bell and Morton Halls, who gave delightful parties October 12 to honor their new members. It seems that the new girls in both halls were treated equally well, for entertainment was found in both halls in the forms of eating and dancing. There was variation from the regular routine of Hal- lowe ' en parties in a hard-time party given by N. A. N. S. faculty on Hallowe ' en, November 30. The name given this party certainly was not out of place, judging from the fact that many persons who at first sight were lunatics, turned out to be peaceful room-mates or possibly critic teachers. The decorations, refreshments, and dancing were of the usual nature. However the little old-fashioned game of Fol-
