in most cases, was first-class and the per- formance as a whole, seemed far better than the average amateur performance- The singing. as well, was the best that has been heard at Rock Ridge for a long time. Mr. Clemens evidenced the fact that he is thoroughly familiar with the finest points of his profession. There was the usual large crowd pres- ent, the seating capacity being taxed to its limit. After the performance, dancing was indulged in by the members of the school and their guests until midnight. On M3,l'Cl1 sixteenth the Junior class gave a formal dance to the Seniors. Tl1e Casino was V61'y artistically decorated with streamers and bunting. During the inter- mission refreshments were served. A feature of the evening, novel and delightful, especially to the younger mein- bers, was the 'L rainbow dance. A large circle was formed by joining hands around the hall and all were supplied with paper streamers of various colors, which were then thrown high toward the centre and caught in the bunting. At a given signal dancing was resumed in and out among the streamers, all getting more or less tangled up in the resulting net work. A large crowd attended and the dance was a great success for which the Juniors are to be highly commended. From time to time during the year there have been Saturday night entertain- ments, given by the various entertainers. These have been enjoyed immensely by the fellows and have been very successful as a divergence from the regular routine of school life. The social season at Rock Ridge ended with the annual Carnival Ball given in the Casino the evening of June fourth. Dancing continued fro111 eight-thirty until two o'clock with an intermission of forty- five minutes at eleven for supper, At twelve the old, traditional ff battle of con- fettin was fought and dancing was then resumed. There was an attendance of about a hundred and fifty, and everybody had the good time that is sure to come at such an event. Page Thirty-five
