THE TILLICUM SQQEAL iii-XQTHWHTEES 96' On the evening of September 13, 1917, a High School MiX6I' was held in our school house. We had a splendid program. One of the numbers, a reading by Prof. C. H. Deane, seemed to be the most impressive. One oth'er number on the program was a trip to the North Pole, in which we hiked all thru the wilderness, in single file, thru mud and desert, following our leader, then we r'eturned to the school building. Punch and cookies, fu1'1 of soap, And the unwise ate the dope! The Sophomores entertained on October 5 the whole High School and faculty in honor of the Seniors at the home of Mr. C. H. Deane. We played games, found out all sorts of things on the ouija board, and played cards. Later a dainty lunch was served and the guests were sure it was one ofthe most enjoyable events of the year. The Annual Freshman Reception was given by the Seniors in the Woodman Hall on November 2. It was a Hall'owe'en party, and all but the Freshies were masked, giving a weird feeling to the latter. Some very clever costumes were there, and everyone was merry- even Bill, who didn't know his girl, in her Paris gown. At 11:30 a delicious chicken supper was served. The Freshies went thru their initiation stunts like little men-and women. - On December 21, a Christmas party was given at the Woodman Hall by the Seniors. Presents were brot and stacked up in a big box, names were called and the gifts presented. No one knew what he was getting, altho the Freshmen thot it was a well known plan, when they opened their presents and unrolled before all such gifts, as teething rings, safeties, etc. A jolly time was enjoyed by all, even the picturesque lunchf?J Hoquiam played basketball with our boys on January 24, 1918 and the girls played an interclass game. After these two, they all enjoyed a most delightful supper in the upper dining room of .the I. O. O. F. Hall, when the Coach took them home to bed. A Valentine Shower, planned by the Sophomores, was given on Mr. Deane on the evening of February 13, which was very success- ful indeed, and much appreciated by the guest of honor.
