Giiestal; vi On Thursday night, Decenil)t ' r 18, Mrs. Vdiinji, the poDiilar matron, gave a iiarty in lionor of Bury Hall ' s one gnuhiate, iMyrtle I ' oe. In tiie spirit of the season the reception hall and music room were decorated with everg-reens and a vei v attractive Christmas tree. After an impromptu program and lively games, the girls had a draw-box which Mrs. oung had fixed with a re- membrance for every one. The evening closed with merry holi- day wishes and sad i)artings. On Tuesday night, .March 13, the Oirls of the Pines liad a chili feed with all the trimmings. Kitty Ilaught iM-ought in the rear limb of a call ' for the affair. The chili was fine and the am i)oxes of crackers furnished plenty for every one. After the dishes were washed and every one was i)rei)aring for a restless night, weird knocking noises were heard in the dumb waiter chute, investigation with flashlights proved that there was no one there. Ghosts! Screams and sobs rent the air. In a screeching mob, the timid ones tore down the stairs for reinforce- ments. Roll call revealed the fact that Fay Patterson and Armitta CJibbons were missing. They were sure tc be in the attic. It was investigated from one end to the other, and not a soul was in sight. Kvery room was searched, all the closats were ransacked, but no girls could be found. Oh, those blood-curdling groans and yells I The sound came from above. Was it possil)le that they were on ihe roof? No, they could not get out there. Well, they were bound to be out there some place. .Another trip to the attic was made, and titters were heard from above. There they were; perched on the gables, just behind the dormer windows. They were dirty culprits, in every sense of the word. Their hands and faces were black with soot and dirty; their clothes were fairly ruined. A ixuiioiling process was necessary before they were able to go to bed. So ended the 2hili party. While all the Halls wei ' e becoming acquainted with the new- students, Cami:)bell was doing her share by having a Homey party. The talented ones aided in the entertaining, and Lady B satisfied our apjietites by serving refreshments. An extremely clever tea was given by the Misses Milliken. Hillebrandt, Olson and Sterling to the other girls of Campbell Hall last fall. Tea was daintily served l)etween two-thirty and five-thirtv. One of the mcst successful stunts ever put on by Flagstaff Teachers college was the second annual homecoming November 14, the stunts and ijrograms excelling in every way the expecta- tions of those in chai ' ge. From the hobo parade, clear through to the last note of the ball room music, the affair went off with smoothness and pleasure. The hobo parade, which started from the college at 1 :00 p. m. and marched through the business center of the city, was one of the most amusing ever seen in the city, each class, the alumni, and the faculty baing represented by some stunt ; all being led 1)V the college band under the direction of Mr. Niles.

Xa Cuesta The Physical Education chib increased its membership by niitiating seven now members on Friday evening, January 8. Those who Hstened from the outside heard many screams and pleadings, and were worried for fear the victims would never be able to return in the same condition as they entered the mystic liall. But the worries were unnecessary because the elated smiles on the faces of the would-be victims told a silent story. Follow- ing the initiation, an informal dance was given in the domestic science rooms. During the evening an aroma filled the room, re- minding all that the celebration was in honor of an initiation Dainty refreshments of cocoa and sandv iches were served at the close of the dance. A merry party was planned by Mother Hanley for the Christ- mas stay-behinds on Wednesday, December 23. It was a party of profit as well as pleasure, for the guests spent their time mak- ing candles of a kinds and descriptions. On Friday evening, October 26, the Girls of the Pines gave an informal reception for the College faculty. Clever invitations, written in rhyme v, ere graciously accepted. The honored guests of the evening were the members of the Canadian quartet. Dur- ing the evening, Mi.ss Agnes Elliott gave a reading, and Miss Althea Jones, Miss Coffee ' s protege, danced the Highland Fling for the pleasure of these present. While the guests were enjoy- ing the refreshments, Mrs. Grady Gammage, Miss Whetsl and Miss Dewey gave interesting toasts. The Dining Hall was the scene of an oyster feed, after the basketball game Saturday, February 13. The guests included the basketball teamiS of Montezuma College, Clarkdale and Flagstaff, and the coaches and their wives. The supper consisting of oyster stew, crackers, sandwiches, chocolate, pickles and olives, was served under the able management of Mrs. Hanley and Mr. Powers, assisted by several of the men students. One Friday evening in February, the Girls of the Pines en- tertained at an informal apron and overall party. The guests in- cluded the Bury Hall boys. The principal diversion of the eve- ning was an indoor track meet, which was a hilarious event for every one. Refreshments of sandwiches, pudding and chocolate were served. After goodbyes had been said, the men returned to serenade the girls. As a means of making the new girls of Morton Hall feel at iiome the old girls decided to give a get-acquainted party on the night of September 31. Of course, the new girls had to be in- troduced before the party could proceed, and the basement seemed to be the place where this could be done to the best advantage ; so they withdrew to the lower realms to play and be friends. ' Tis said, the best way to become acquainted is to sip and eat. They not only sipped cocoa but ate sandwiches and cookies ; so when the party ended, without a doubt, the girls were quite chummy. A crowd of the intimate friends of Leona Pulsipher and Helen Larson gave them a birthday party Friday evening, October 13, after the pep rally. Games were played and refreshments were served. 7 13AbM
