CLASS DAY, 1913 jj SING of men and arms, of girls and tennis games, of tugs of war and ice water. On Thursday, May 29, 1913, the Class Day exercises were held. At eight o'clock all the students assembled on the athletic field. Amid cheers and yells the tennis games began. After a short time the Seniors abandoned the court, leaving the Juniors victorious. The Sophomores won from the Freshmen. The Seniors again lost to the Freshmen. Then came the great game of the day. The Classes of 1914 and of 1915 met. Long the battle raged. Encouraged by yells and calls from each side of the court the players played as never before. Finally the Class of 1915 won the game and were the champions of the day, with a tie between the Freshmen and Juniors. The Juniors won the game and also won second place, with the Freshmen third. In the tug-of-war much excitement prevailed when the Sophomores dragged the classes one by one over the line, until they came to the Freshmen. Here they met their Waterloo. The Freshmen held their ground, refusing to move an inch. After many vain attempts to keep their ground the Sophomores came across the line to the Freshman side. The yells of Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen drowned the moans and lamentations of the Class of 1915. Thus Freshmen held first place, with Sophomores second and Juniors third. Un Thursday night at eight o'clock three of the indoor events were held. The class songs were sung, Sophomores winning lirst place, Freshmen second, and Juniors third. The debate was won by the Freshmen, with the Seniors second, and Juniors third. All College girls are good spellers, and were given a chance to show their knowledge. Juniors stood until the last, winning the applause of the crowd, and the first place as spellers, with the Seniors second, and Freshmen third. Later all repaired to the Campus and viewed the Class decorations. Unanimous vote was cast for the Juniors, Sophomores taking second place and Freshmen third. On Friday night the loving cup was presented to the class winning the greatest number of points. The Freshmen held seventeen points, the Sophomores held eighteen points. while nineteen points were held by the Class of 1814. 'wi Z: , l f' 11? f , i N 1 i 88

HALLOWE'EN PARTY , ci.. HE Hallowe'en party given by the i l Y. VV. C. A. at the Presbyterian College last Friday night was Il splendid success in every way. The first of the novel and thrilling experiences of the evening began at din- ner when the lights were suddenly ex- tinguished and a ghostly figure with fiery eyes and nostrils slipped silently into the room and in hollow tones gave the follow- ing invitation for the evening: Listen. maidens. sweet and fair, Maidens short and maidens tall: Silence every loud heart beat: Listen to the spectre's call. 'Tis a ghostly night of fear: Dead men rise and horrid sights Mingle with loud shrielts and cries. And each trembling soul affrights. Grim white forms, with hollow moans. As each graveyard yawns and gapes. Rise to-night and through the gloom. Noiselessly each lone way takes. Friends from out the lower world. Eyes and nostrils shooting fire, Follow soft in their footsteps: U Creep and creep and never tire. Therefore don the winding sheet: Now. at half past seven by the clock. Shall come witches through the hall, Lead thee down the narrow stairs, llownwartf to the witches' ball. Woe to her who is not there. At her chamber. clothed in white. Ready with a ghost to go At seven-thirty sharp to-night. 1 There was a general hum of excitement as each girl lieu to her room for her winding sheet 'i and at 7:30 the fun began. The long. ghostly procession wound noiselessly over the halls and down the stairs with the rattlin f- - 1.. nf bones. or perhaps graveyard mgan, In the first room they were initiated into the inisttri s ftl ' F ,' ' 1-5-0 'le ' 1 icklt-ti Cat and here the ghosts forgot their' roles a nd shrieked with laughter as well as horror. like real human beings. inthe nt-vt room '1 gruesome x 't h t I . - - 'vlc odamore lfIllt'NUl'lll' fortune over a burning cauldron while owls and bats winged slowly to and fro in thtfgloom, Ill yet another room, which was indeed a cham- ber of horrors .hut for one exceptioni they beheld a U-l'ps . :i is itch and a mad woman. who tore her hair and uttered uild screams. shaking the dry skeletons :trovuntl her uilh weird enjoyment.
