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.

After this brick ice cream with white cake was served. On each plate was a red caruation, carrying out beautifully the color scheme of the evening. Mr. Clifton M. Mackey, President of the S. E. N. Class of 1913, was one of the guests. At the hour of twelve the O. P. C. Seniors like so many Cinderellas departed, An enjoyable evening was indeed spent with the S. E. N. Seniors. HERIN GO-BRAUGHV' Mrs. VV. B. Morrison was the charming hostess on March 3, to the Young Men'5 Sunday school class of the Presbyterian church, and the young ladies of the Junior and Senior classes of the Presbyterian college. The parlors were gaily festooned in St. Patrick decorations, and a large green shamrock occupied a place of vantage. From the chandelier to the four corners were strung miniature shamrocks, and a vase of cut flowers graced the piano. During the evening divinity and delicious refreshments of brick cream in the center of which was frozen a green shamrock and in which was stuck an Irish Hag, were served. The quartette rendered several excellent selections, much to the delight of the girls. Readings and musical numbers by some of the young ladies added to the enjoyment of the evening. Among the other invited guests were Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton and Rev. Herman Jones, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Six o'clock on the morning of January 12th, did not find the Juniors of O. P. C. rubbing their eyes and sleepily inquiring whether or not the rising-bell had rung, but grouped around a jolly campfire, about a mile north of the city. For here on the bank of picturesque little Chuckwa they had been invited to breakfast by Misses Eagleton and McCain, class sponsor and advisor. Never before did such eggs, bacon and coffee delight the palate of mortal ! And the exquisite pleasure of toasting bread and one's lingers- such joys can only be mentioned,-description is past the art of human ! The last delect- able morsel, in the shape of oranges, disappeared rapidly, as the initials of the class members, and the date of the memorable outing, were carved in the massive rock that towers high above the creek. Then with vigor and energy imbibed with the cool morn- ing air, as the return joy-ride brought them back to the confines of the city, the very echoes re-echoed, Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah ! Rah! Rah!
