Next. xve were permitted to look into the glass and see how many of Shakespeare's words we had made our very own. Guesses were made at quotations, Miss Oschman, who is ready on all occasions to quote Shakespeare, showed us Once more her ability here and won the prize of a crepe paper real size College cap. The next glance showed us our ability to knit together a story, using Shake- spcare's own words in different plays. Miss Oschman led off on this story. Mrs. Mor- rison's addition was voted the most apt, and to her went a tiny set of Shakespeare's works. Upon opening them she found new food still, and ere long all of us had di- gested the contents of all three volumes. As usual they were sweet to our taste. In grading our papers the Seniors showed one good quality, that of not being too lenient to those who handed in papers. Our grades ranged from twenty to as much as seventy. A delightful salad course was given us. The Sister Sophomores gracefully served this in dainty baskets. This course was followed by delicious cream and cake. Sparkling coffee was our next course, then came the fitting favors of a College cap filled with green and gold candies. These had been pleasant hours together. We were grateful to our Senior hostesses, their Sponsor and Adviser. The evening will be one of sweet memories of our life to- gether at O. P. C. ' -A MEMBER OF THE FACULTY. DUTCH PARTY. T The Presbyterian College was the scene of unusual excitement Tuesday morning when about 4 o'clock the Sophomores and faculty assembled in the parlors to attend a Dutch Party given by Miss Nina Oschman, sponsor for the Sophomore class. The Dutch idea was carried out to the fullest extent from the appropriate invitations with the verse : 1 If you iss a friend of mine Und like not schleep too much In der parlors be at 4 a. m. Und help to 'Down the Dutch? -FRAULEIN OSCHMAN.H to the dainty breakfast which was served by the boarding Seniors in Dutch caps and aprons. The menu consisted of rye bread and cracker sandwiches, dill pickles, pump- kin pie, root beer, salted peanuts.

One improvised number was to the tune of HO. P. C. the college song. Hurrah for the Sophomore class, O, that elephant classg In size we beat and we always pass And to see us is a treat. On Tuesday morn at four We crawled out on the floor, Rubbed our eyes and gave a few sighs And made a dash for the door. Cut on the campus we crept When the morn so weirdly shone. But Sophs. always their promises kept, And in that we stand alone. We guessed all the puzzling books And all the buttons we strung, Don't we show by our witty looks, And the way we sing this song ? Miss Oschman she's a trump, Hurrah, for she's a dear. So, this we say all in a lump, And here's a cheer and cheer. The party broke up when the breakfast bell rang at7o'clock with each one declar- ing that Miss Oschman was indeed a trump and an ideal hostess. February 16, 1914, the Freshman class was royally entertained in the parlors of the College by their class sponsor and adviser, Miss Pearigen and Mrs. Alla B. Kimsey. The affair was planned and given in the nature of a colonial party. The invitations were hand painted cards, with a red cherry, or some 'Washington emblem, in one corner. Hearts was the game of the evening and the score cards were little hatchets. Miss Winnie Von Hyrthe was the successful player. The consolation prize went to Miss Lena Frazier. Music was delightfully entertaining, after which refreshments of cherry ice and cake were served. The Senior Class of the Southeastern State Normal School royally entertained the Senior Class of the Oklahoma Presbyterian College with sponsor and adviser, Misses Nesbit and Williams, at the home of their sponsor, Miss Alice McKinney. The house was beautifully decorated with red hearts and flowers. On each table used in the progressive game was a lighted candle, which added very much to the beauty of the room. . The game of progressive hearts was played during the first part of the evening, CHl1SiUg much fun and excitement. Mr. Mackey and Miss Lewis won the highest score and were presented with a beautiful picture and a bouquet of red carnations, respect- ively. Then the contest in archery was held and each person piercing the 18-T89 heart was given a smaller one on which verses were written. 93
