4 TH Howard D. McFarland; vice president, Jennie May Evans; treasurer, Laura Z. Wilson; John H Stevens. President, secretary, On October 6 a pleasant trolley ride was given by the members of the class and all reported a good time. One of the most enjoyable features of our social life was the farewell surprise party tendered to Helen Demis Utley just previous to her departure for her future home in Indiana. She was presented with a pretty seal ring as a remembrance of her classmates, who regretted sincerely having to part with one of their most esteemed members. 18-19 Senior class On the February gave a very enjoyable sleighride to Hol- land Patent.

After some hastening on the part of several of the members of the class, they boarded the car and rode as far as Stan- wix, where they stopped to pay a visit to the golf house. As they found the house rather deserted, they took possession and remained several hours. Dancing was enjoyed and refreshments were served.
