After consulting the dictionary as to the meaning of “soiree 1 which was found to be, “an evening party, the Juniors grouped together to discuss the mysterious affair. It was known that a dance was to be given at Lamartine the same night, but some of the Juniors believed the “soiree” part to be a “bluff.” However acceptances and regrets were sent to the Senior President and the Juniors awaited expectantly the great event. The Seniors proved true to their word and the two classes together with the teachers were transported to Lamartine on a hay-rack drawn by four horses. There they greeted the town with lusty songs and yells, and, upon entering the village hall, the aggregation attracted no little attention and admiration( ?) The evening was spent in dancing and at midnight all trooped upstairs to supper. The tables were beautifully decorated with smilax and cut flowers. After finishing the bountiful repast, the teachers were called upon for short speeches and received hearty applause for the same. A few hours more of dancing and after the strains of “Home Sweet Home” the party departed for home. All agreed in declaring the Seniors to be royal and unique entertainers.
