BI9Z6 nOKTHROP TATLER I9Z6i FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH WK worked feverishly nnd ho| rd thnt tlwre would be no niori' dispute concerning the chairs. Some thought the one from the dining room ought to he used; others thought not. Tlie chairs were brought down nnd then token hack with much strife along the way. Would anyone want to play bridge? We wondered. Would anyone bring cards to play bridge with? We wondered ngain. The fact that wax was being applied to the Hour caused a good deal of worry, for we were afraid we would fall and break our necks if too much was put on. However, even in thnt predicament, we were determined to be gracious and smiling. Did everyone know that all the autumn bough in blur and silver were tied on with red string. We fervently hoped they didn't, for we were in no condition to do anything about it if they did. Thus our thoughts rnn a we slammed down tables, tied on table cloths, and practised our Spanish dance in uniforms nnd low heeled shoes. At five thirty we went home, thankful that we didn't have to wash the windows nnd clran up the furnace room. Much credit must he given to those- few guests who realised that the gym was supposed to represent a cabaret. We greatly appreciate their penetration. They perhaps didn't know thnt fortune telling nnd tishing for tin automobiles in the telephone booth were a part of the procedure at a cabaret dance Hut if they didn’t know these things, they had milch to learn, for that' what they did at our party and who were we to spurn their filthy lucre? They alv danced and ntr heartily of the ice cream and cake we served. Many thought the popcorn halls were a holdup, hut they refrained from throwing them at us when we asked ten cents. An attrinpt was made at amusement when we gave two dances; one with castanets and tambourines nnd much swirling nnd swooping; another with Spanish shawls draped on us. This latter one was more or less of a failure, for we couldn't seem to get into step when we did it a second time. The audience, however, applauded, regardless of the fact, ami didn't see thnt the dnnee was any worse- than it had been the first time. About eleven-thirty it was gently hinted that the time had come for the party to break up. We went on aeliing fret, hoping thnt since the party had been a success linaneiallv, the guests were not mnking too many derogatory remarks about it ns a social function. Dawn broke, ami blushed to see the sight at Northrop School: packs of cards scattered in fifty-two different places, tables every which way. covers off, rake and popcorn hall scattered liberally on the floor. A few of us came to clean up, and cleaned with many yawns. After n few hours the gym began to take on its natural air of bleakness, and we left it to the tender mercies of Civile ami Mullen, Imping that the Junior-Senior would be a good one. Rurittfr
