All Too soon The lasT number was Tinished and relucTanTly we gaThered up our belongings and deparTed. A glorious Time aT The mid-Term dance! TEAS HE Teas which are The liTTle geT-acquainTed parTies ThaT The Senior Class runs oTT each Term, were again held This Term, and were enioyed' by Those who aTTen- -ded. The Teas have The advanTage oT having Two or Three classes TogeTher aT one Time raTher Than The enTire Senior Class, as is The case wiTh The oTher TuncTions. The Teas were held in The library This Term because The sixTh Tloor gym, The usual place where These TuncTions Take place was used by The mural painTers. Al- Though, There was some inconvenience, iT was more Than oTTseT by The Tables, lanes eTc. ThaT The library provided. The Tea CommiTTee deserves crediT Tor iTs splendid work, alThough They did prepare a beverage ThaT was a cross beTween hoT prune iuice, and Dr. Jones' Liver Pills and masqueraded iT as Tea , They can be pardoned Tor dropping a Tew dishes, They can be pardoned Tor making remarks ThaT made The more bashTul blush buT They never will be excused Tor slipping over ThaT Tea and The class while iT was -oTT iTs guard. The TaculTy in charge oT The Tea are To be complimenTed Tor Their excellenT work. They were excellenT hosTesses and hosTs and did much To insure The success oT The aTTairs.
