-,Q 7,77 ...L 66 THE TARGET Fortunate Seniors N Friday evening, May 19, the Seniors accepted an invitation 575323 tendered them through Capt. Mylrea to attend a musicale and dance given by Mrs. Starrett and the young ladies of her school in Chicago. Q PMN The party of cadets took a late afternoon train into the Umgmkilp-A city, and after dining at Thompson's, our usual rendezvous, hurried out to Mrs. Starrett 's School on the South Side. The entertainment began with a musical program rendered bv the students, and the various vocal and instrumental numbers showed much talent and Were heartily encored. At its close Mrs. Starrett and the recep- tion committee soon saW to it that young ladies and cadets became generally acquainted, and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and in delightful tete-a-tetes. . At eleven-thirty We regretfully bade our charming hostesses good night, and barely had time to catch the last suburban train. The Seniors are indebted for the very entertaining manner in which the evening Was spent and the opportunity of meeting the young ladies of the institution and their friends. fgicfoqg' Our Christmas Furlouglm - IT would be very improper to publish this issue Without at least men- tioning our Christmas furlough. This was one of the long-looked for occa- sions of the year, and Was indeed the happiest. The main body of the corps Was permitted to leave Tuesday noon, De- cember 20, having been granted an extra half day for complying With the regulations as nearly as possible. Every one Was off for a good time, and from the appearance of the cadets Monday evening, January 9, they had never had a better time in all their lives. During the vacation each member of the Senior class was made a present of a nice, large, juicy pineapple from Major and Mrs. Davidson, who Were spending the vacation at their Florida home, Hollyhurst. We now take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude, and the Wish that the southern plantation this year may yield a most bountiful harvest of fruit.
