THE OLIVE AND GOLD Cfhristmas Qarty Each year the school has a Christmas party. The Christmas party was held December 17. First every student was presented a large roll of confetti. Everybody liked the confetti, especially the boys for they had a cause to talk to the girls. Ernie Graves expressed it as the best time I ever had. Then the gifts were exchanged. Yes, even the faculty had a big time. Mr. Couts gazed at the clock and found it to be ten o'clock so he realized he'd better be well on his way to Indiana. Yes, and this broke up the party, but didn't stop the continuous howl for refreshments Taffy apples, candy and peanuts were served, then everybody went home and dreamed of Santa Claus all night. ' HALLIE HARRIS. czfihe Ghristmas ffgea The Foods-Class Girls gave a Christmas Tea in honor of their mothers. This brilliant idea was due to Miss Green alone. She helped the girls carefully plan a program as well as plan the appropriate refreshments. Mrs. C. F. Hamilton being a guest had the pleasure of pouring the tea. We cannot speak for the Mothers only from what we heard. They all ex- pressed themselves as having a nice time and very proud of their daughters and their exceedingly fine instructor.

THE OLIVE AND GOLD ,Annual Qontest Qartky In january, the losers found time to entertain the winners to a Chile Din- ner which was served at six o'clock. The night was very chilling and the steaming, hot chile served exceedingly well for the eats. Everybody had six dishes then ran home and went to bed. HALLIE HARRIS. ' c57ie qair, 9Vovember 16' The Fair was the first of its kind in St. Joseph, and everyone hopes it will not be the last. Such a thrilling good time as everyone did have. In order to finance this fair the Home Ec. girls raced the Ag. boys to find out which could raise the most money. Members of each team went from home to home soliciting products or money. The boys succeeded in raising the most money. That night there were amusements for everyone. There were many booths. One for Men Only. All men had to visit this booth even for sake of curi- osity. Two Senior girls had a Beauty Parlor. This interested the boys especi- ally for they had to doll up for their date that night. They were painted, then came the kick and plenty of it. Yes, they all enjoyed the electric shock. Still more senior girls Qwith the aid of underclassmenj put on a Minstrel Show. This was the most paying proposition of this great event. The grade school and also country grade schools, with their teachers, partici- pated in this Fair by decorating booths and displaying their pupils' work. Many ladies received prizes-in money and ribbons for the best, fancy cakes, candy, silk pillows, canned fruit and quilted quilts. Ag. and glome :Economics Qbarty Since the boys beat the girls in the race for money to put on the Fair, it was left up to the girls to entertain the winners. The girls decided to feed the boys on fruit salad and wafers so they would not be so anxious to win the next time. Captains were chosen for the evening and they picked sides, which also held good for the evening's games. At the end of the evening the side winning the most points was awarded a box of candy. We had plenty of chaperoning again, for all of the practice teachers were guestsg then also Miss Green, Miss Hubbard and Mr. and Mrs. M. Henderson helped eat the refreshments. Hencef0rth let no man trouble me--God forbid. -Lois Dunn. Page Thirty-F1'1,'e

THE OLIVE AND GOLD mation of the whole Beverly family became bankrupt but Polly saved the day. The play showed the acting ability of the various classmen and splendid coaching on the parts of Miss Hubbard and Mr. Hamilton. HALLIE HARRIS. gland Qanquet The Band Banquet was held in March in the High School Gymnasium. The evening was spent in singing at the various tables, and musical selections from students in school. With Mr. R. M. Madsen acting as toast-master, local men of prominence were the speakers of the evening. The members of the Band are very grateful to their parents for this lovely occasion. Saster Wea The Home Economics Club girls were delightfully entertained by Miss Green at her home in Oakwood at an Easter Tea. The color scheme was orange and white and everything followed out this color scheme so well that it displayed the careful planning of our teacher Miss Green and her mother, Mrs. Green. H The afternoon was spent in interesting games and contests. Some of the girls had fancy Easter-bonnets to wear home that they had not brought from their home with them. Mrs. Green, had the honor of pouring while Miss Green passed the nut-cups with a little bunny sitting on the tiny nest of eggs. A few more games were played, then the girls, after expressing what a lovely time they had had journeyed back to St. Joseph, just wishing that Easter came oftener. HALLIE HARRIS. The Qsenior Qalaty The Senior play entitled At the End of the Rainbow was given by the Seniors in April with the aid of four Juniors and two Sophomores. The Play required twenty characters, and since there happened to be only fifteen in the Senior Class we gladly called on some of our friends who played their parts with the ability of a Senior. The Seniors wish to thank the Community for their excellent attendance and the Sophomores and Juniors for their part in our play which they helped to make a success. HALLIE HARRIS.
