MAIQIE R. CAMPBi-:1.L, '26. BAKE SALE On Friday, October 30, 1925, a bake sale was con- ducted in the High School Auditorium., under the auspices of the Senior Class. Considering the status of conditions in this region, the affair was very suc- cessful. Special mention should be made of the efforts and the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire school. On Tuesday, March 16, 1926, another sale was held by the members of the Senior Class in the High School Auditorium. Through the active support and coopera- tion of each Senior and with the underclassmen as ready patrons, the affair proved successful far beyond the fondest hopes of the committee. JAMES J. GARRAHAN, '26. LINCOLN PROGRA M On Lincoln's Birthday, February 12, the Senior Class presented a program bearing upon the memory of the great Emancipator.

DANCES AND CARD PARTIES The dance immediately following the basketbai. game with St. Mary's High School of Wilkes-Barre on January 22, 1926, was remarkable for the number i11 attendance and for the good grace with which the visitors forgot their defeat and mingled with the Hazletonians. All danced merrily and forgot even the friendly enmity that they felt towards each other earlier in the evening. The proceeds were very satisfactory. Another dance, eagerly anticipated, took place on February 16, 1926, in connection with a Euchre, Bridge, and Five Hundred Party. Like its predecessor, this event added greatly to the pleasure and the treasury of the Class of '26. The third event of this nature was held on April 6, 1926, not for financial purposes but purely to re- unite for the period of an evening the members of Our Dear Old School. In this respect the affair was very successful and its appreciation was portended by the number in attendance, jAMEs J. GARRAHAN. 4 fr C ' lllllllllllllll-A Illllllllllll e as C M' ' f . 0 1 i l Q l 1 1 l - I9l1
