WHITE and GOLD 13 The evenings entertainment was voted a great success by the en- tertained, while the profits of the game were applied to the relief of one hundred dollars worth of Rowing Association bills. 2.0.? From what we have been able to find out, for the faculty are painfully shy when they want to be, the reception given by Miss Me- Leod, at her residence on the evening of April the 4th, to the faculty, for the purpose of lamenting or celebrating ta point we are in the dark uponl, Pres. Blackls departure, was a grand success. Whether Miss McLeod issued the invitations for 2:30 a. m. or 2:30 p. n1., is another dark point. The guests were highly and uniquely entertained until banquet- ing time, which they no doubt enjoyed, but, manlike, all that Mr. B1 5 said, was that they had lilots of good things to eat.H Mr. Bliss was toast master, and introduced his toast by remarks on Mr. Blackls educational work, especially that connected with the Normal School. The sentiment of the toast was: HMay his friends on the other side welcome him as heartily as we shall receive him on his return.H Mr. Black responded appropriately, with remarks about his trip to Europe, but was unusually sober, we understand. Other members of the faculty knew some toasts too. How they found time to study and learn them by heart on so short notice is a mystery to the school, but Miss Pratt gave him some motherly advice ' as to his behavior in the land across the sea, drawing from and en- larging upon her own experiences, pointing out pit-falls, and the val- ue of having Pauline as a chaperone, until Mr. Black almost decided to stay in San Diego, where the faculty could watch over him. Before Miss Derby began, the toast-niaster placed a guard at each door tbut they all confessed this was not the reason they staid till 2230 a. nLl. Her toast was for the purpose of revenge upon the faculty for breaking in on her Chorus time with numerous long and useless announcements, and she started in to read a MS. that rolled the full length of the table, containing the geographical and political statistics of forty-tive states. Miss Rogers was afraid she would for- get her toast, so cut in upon Miss Derby with a talk on llSerapsW not llscrapsfl with the faculty, or student body, nor boarding-house scraps; but scraps of wit, wisdom, and information concerning members ofthe faculty. Mr. Shafer gave a toast 011 uInnocence Abroad,H but we fail to see the application unless he meant Pauline. Mr. West got so sleepy that they had to stop toasting, though we wonder that he had not been given food enough for thought by Miss McLeodls conundrums, some of the best of which were: Why is our Normal School likely to be unpopular with southern people? Because its President is Black.
