The first wonder to greet the marvelling eyes of the guests was a huge but dainty heart for a door thru which they entered to the joys beyond. The posts were dec- orated in true valentine style, with hearts and darts symbols of cupids work. Between glorious dances to the seducive tunes of the Starkey orchestra, the merry guests re- freshed themselves with delicious punch of Carmen hue, in honor of St. Valentine. At the close of the evening's gayety we departed, bearing with us good humor happiness and thoughts of one of the best times we had ever had. .91. The jliilasquerahz The week of November nineteenth was filled with mysterious actions on the part of the students. Our days were occupied in making costumes of various types for The lVIasquerade which was to be held on the Saturday evening of that week. It was not long before the big night arrived. Everyone was curious for the event, and when the gymnasium was lighted up, a beautiful spectacle was seen. It was prettily decorated for the occasion with many pleasant corners and nooks where the guests could sit. Everyone wore the most attractive costumes and among them could be found very clever ones. There were foreign countries represented and other more humor- ous sketches who played the part of clowns. After two hours of dancing, everyone was willing to accept refreshments which were served most delicately. After due justice had been given them, the masqueraders enjoyed themselves dancing for the remainder of the evening. The music was furnished by the Starkey Seminary Ensemble who had prepared special selections for the occasion. Everyone appreciated the hard work shown on the part of the musicians, and we sincerely hope for continued prosperity of the Ensemble . Fori y-111 ree
