TIIE TILLIC U11 After the Montesano game a lunch was served to the team and they enjoyed themselves until the orchestrai?J struck. At the end of the season, the first team of girls were guests of Miss Henry, their coach, at a very pretty eight o'clock dinner, on March 22. Those present were: The Misses Dorothy Paul, Jessie Bain, lvlartha Menish, Stella NVilliams, and Marjorie Weiland. Miss Nella Griswold was out of town, and so could not be present. A brsket social was given by the Sophomores in the High School building, April' 5, at which games were played, and then the baskets auctiorfd off by Mr. Deane. Freshmen and Seniors alike bid for the coveted baskets, and in this way, made tho evening a financial as well as a social success. M. S. '18 and L. E.

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.

THE TILLIC URI MUSHC Q-6 The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils. -Shakespeare. The music classes have been very successful this year both as to numbers and work accomplished. We have a girls' chorus, a boys' chorus, a combined chorus, a male quartette, a girls' sextette and a mixed quartette. The girls' and boys' choruses each meet two periods per week, the combined chorus one period per Week, while the other organizations meet before and after school. There are thirty-four enrolled in the girls' chorus, twenty-six in the boys' and over sixty in the combined chorus. The various organizations have sung at meetings of the Parent- Teachers' Association, at the two Senior vaudevilles, at meetings of the Debate Club, at two church services, at patrictic me'etings, at the Baccalaureate services, and at the Commencement exercises. Perhaps the most popular organization is the Male Quartette, composed of Her- bert Fry, Ernest Van Walker, Paul Provoc and Willard Merry. All have fine voices which blend to a nicety, their stage presence is good, and they are always sure of an encore. Much time has been given to the study of patriotic and familiar songs, as well as to the study of operatic and sacred music. Selec- tions from the following operas have been presented, Il Trovatoref' Faust, , Don Juan, Aida, Martha, Iolanthe, Beggar Stu- dent, Chimes of Normandy, Patience, The Pirates of Penzance, and Olivette, Gound's, Send Out Thy Light, duet arrangement of The Lord Is My Shepherd, for female voices, and familiar hymns were given on Baccalaurate Sunday, and are representative of work done along the line of sacred music. The aim, throughout the year, in all the High School music has been to use selections that have attained to lasting popularity be- cause of their beauty, and therefore should be known to all, N0
