12 WHITE and GOLD $ntial guards. 51mm hp 112m 5111mm, '01. 0 NE of the most pleasing social events of the season was the ban- quet tendered to the February class by the Juniors, on the eve of its graduation. The Seniors, st11dents,and friends gathered,to the number ofone hundred or more, and, after spending an hour in social chat, were seated about prettily decorated tables in the banquet room, where a bountiful spread was enjoyed. President Black acted as toast master, and right royally hlled his office. Among the toasts offered, one was HThe Seniors, pre- sented by Mr. William Fanning, to which Mrs. Emma Wisler, Pres- ident of the class, responded in a very characteristic speech. itOut of the frying-pan into the href was presented by Mr. Bliss, of the fac- ulty. Miss Way paid a compliment to uOur Boysfi Mr. Roy Rob- erts and Miss Marion Coop of the class, responded to toasts in a very happy vein, and the evening closed with dancing. 02.0 The enterprise that made the most money during the year, was that undertaken for the benefit of the Rowing Association, given in November last. The performance was eminently successful. The entertainment had two ends in view: to get money and to furnish enjoyment. It took the form of a country fair, at which all the attractions customary to such places were to be found, including the fantastic costumes of the sight-seers. There was the mysterious maiden who dealt in fort1111es,the H'hay-seedii fakir with a rack of Helenis Babies, the shooting gallery, the candy booth, lemonade stand, ring toss, etc. And then there was the original uChamber of Horrors? A real skeleton stood guard at the doorway, and a real witch guided you through the mazes of the interior, pointing out the itbabes brewed in alcohol? introducing you to uicy-fingered ghosts? and among other things, showing the Closet in Bluebeardis house, where the heads of his victims hung, ghastly and bloody against the wall. Passing out with a feeling of relief at having escaped so horrible a night-mare, one was led to the entrance of the itGreatest Show on Earth,H where were to be found HWinged Monsters of the Air,n ttThe Great White Bat, HThe Giant Flea Catcher,H and kindred sights too numerous to men- tion. In the great pavi1io11 was to be seen the greatest vaudeville performance ever seen in the United States TTA Box of Monkevs' l he artists were especially imported from the itNormal School Dra- matic ClubH for the occasion. The stars were Guy Paden, Ernest Peterson, Hulda Olsen, Belle Jennings and Onie Ross.
