Get Acquainted Party. The first social event of the year was the TGet Acquainted Partyt given by the old students to the Freshmen and new students in the High School Audi- tor1um. The early part of the evening was joyously passed with games and music. After a short period of amusement, light refreshments were served. Before departing for home the merry crowd gathered around the piano, filling the au- ditorium with their partiotic voices as they sang the school song. The once timid Freshmen were now seen intermingling with the upper classmen. A11 fear of dislike of High School had deserted them when the hour of departing arrived. Freshmen Party. The faculty and student body were delightfully surprised by the Treturn 'partyt given by the plucky Freshmen. We were taken in cars about three miles from the High School, where we found beautiful grass and a huge pile of wood. Games were played until dark, then the wood was set afire, starting a terrific rush for the eats. Students were seen with long sticks in one hand roasting wienies, while the other hand was busily engaged in poking the sizz- ling and juicy wienies into their mouths. Others ran around munching marsh- mallows. We all went home declaring the event a success. Christmas Party. Both faculty and students were once again little tots clad in knee pants and short dresses. Unexpectedly Santa Claus quietly stole into the room amid the laughter, and distributed the toys, popcorn, candy and apples to the eager little kiddies. Dilthy Entertainment. On the evening of January 28 the Dilthy family gave a musical concert whrch drew a good crowd to the High School. n.43h

Sophomore Hayride. On Friday afternoon, April 1, the Sophomore Class entertained the school by a lWienie Roastf The witty Sophomores, thinking it would please their honorable classmates to ride in the old time way, secured a large hay wagon and a beautiful span of bronchos. The poor Sophomorets hearts suddenly failed when the ferocious animals gave a desperate lunge Skyward, bringing forth terrific shouts of fear and horror from the frightened crowd. The horses were soon calmed, however, and we reached our destination in safety, Where we played games and roasted wienies and marshmallows. When the event was ended, all declared they had had a scrumptuous time. Dinner Tendered Fresno County Principals.
