T H EL I 9Z7 C| in THE JUNIOR-SENIOR DANCE, 1926 According to tin- usual system of the Junior class of 1926, no very definite plans had ! een made for converting the dining-room into a donee hall until the very afternoon of the day on which the annual Junior-Senior Dance was to he given. It is true that we had painted the lattices, used the year before to cover the radiators, and had a vague idea of the appearance we intended the room to have, hut as to our plan of procedure, everything was quite indefinite. Hut after all wc had the whole day in which to work, and work we did. Some scouted the town after furniture for the roof garden (?). and card tables for supper: others hunted for flowers, leaves, or anything to cover the lattices with, and still others remained at school, arranging whatever furniture or foliage was brought to the building. Meanwhile time was swiftly passing. Could we possibly finish the decorations in time? Hut to the eyes of our guests, the Seniors, arriving a few hours later, no traces (we hope! of our feverish haste were in evidence. The lights and radiators in the dining-room were decorated with bridal wreath and leaves. At one etui the orchestra was cooped in by a circle of palms, and at the other were some chairs and lamps for the chaperones. In the hall connecting this room and the roof garden were lamps at intervals, and many small tables on which were pink rose . The roof garden itself was furnished with grass rugs, wicker chairs, and over-hanging Japanese lanterns. About nine, by the dances, refreshments were served, and after more dancing twelve o’clock arrived and broke up the party, with a sigh of relief from each Junior. =R§2 G TRAGEDY Consternation reigned over the city. Anviou groups of people with worried, pitying face hurried to and fro. muttering in impairing tone to pasters-by. Oh, have you heard? Isn't it too dreadful!” Men strode up and down crying irately. This it the la t straw. We never even dreamed such a thing could happen.” Up and down the street in teeming anguivh strode many young men. Little children watched with wondering eye what they were unable to understand. A aad sight indeed to sec a city. U'ually «o joyful and carrfree now ca»t into heavy gloom! In many home unhappy mother indulged in wild extravagance of grief, vainly comforted by ormw-burdened husbands. Rut while all thi was going on. a acene of much confusion and di-order wa enacting itself before the great portal of a splendid Ixikpitnl. People were struggling to force themselves within the door , but aimed attendant held them off. A the mob urgrd and wiithed in desperate attempt to wedge themselves inaidr the gate , the figure of a min in a white jacket appeared in the door nay. Silence fell on the jo tling. undulating mao a he pokc, My friend . I am glad to tell you that all danger i pa t. Kr t assured that in time you will »ee your beloved one well and Itappy again. But before I go. I »n!emnly warn you. NEVER LET THIS OCCUR AGAIN! Protect and chrrith those delicate instruments which have suffered »n grievously.
