I FRIDAY Q FROLICS . All work and no play makes jack a dull boy,', was the slogan adopted by the New Paltz Normal School, during the winter of nineteen hundred twenty-two. Every Friday evening trials and tribulations, plans and lessons of the week Were cast aside and bands of merry makers trooped to the Gym, where several members of the faculty and student body had planned the evening's fun. - The first of these Friday Frolics took the form of a Get Acquainted Party. With a tag pinned on you telling your name and former habitat, you entered the Gym. Much fun there was in finding out Who was Who -and From Where. Another party was .a Backwards Party and everyone dressed and danced- and walked backward. Some did it all gracefully-and others-ah me! We won't mention how they did. g The Friday before Hallowefen a masquerade was the order of the evening. Clever costumes-and plenty of fun made thelparty a big success. Later, a Bloomer and Middy party made a decided hit. .As the name implies, everyone was clad in the adjuncts of the gymnasium, and enjoyed all sorts of games, the most popular being leap frog. I Another party displayed the ability of the girls at making paper hats, and the results indicated that many should be Parisian milliners instead of mere school marms. T The Valentine Party was both attractive and enjoyable. Fancy costumes were numerous and deserved the name. During the evening, the balcony scene from Romeo cmd juliet was prettily staged, and a burlesque of the famous act given by Gertrude Blackburn and Al Mol-Ewan. . Another Friday Frolic took the form of a burlesque on a grade in the practice school. The practice teacher, the supervisor and the kiddies were made ludicrous by a bunch of fun lovers. ' Gther frolics that were equally as enjoyable were held on St. Patrickls day and on April Fool's Day. At all of these parties, dancing played an important role. Obliging seniors and juniors presided at the piano and upon several occasions a skilled Ukelele Orchestra held full sway. , T As all good things must end, just so the Easter vacation was the terminal of many happy hours spent in the gym at the Friday Frolicsf' . .
