Society Fresh Frolic The first party of the year was given by the Freshmen at Pioneer Hall, December 4. The large crowd included many upper classmen as well as Freshmen and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. Maybe it was because refreshments were served. Of course, the regular dancing hours 8:30 to 11 o ' clock were observed because the Freshmen had to get to bed early. Good luck, next year, Freshmen, maybe they will give you an extra hour of dancing. Football Hop The annual Football Hop given by the team at the Canoe Club, was a howling success as it always is. The decorations were especially attractive. The orchestra was composed of some of the finest talent that could be secured, and all in all, every one succeeded in having a profitable evening of amusement. That the party was a success was made noticeable when, shortly after the Hop, the boys went prome- nading about the halls with large golden letters mounted upon a surface of shining blue. Junior Hop The Juniors were afraid they were going to be cheated out of their party at first but that would have been impossible because the Junior Hop was this year, as in former years, the crowning event of the social season. Wicker furniture helped to make Pioneer Hall look more comfortable and inviting, and the refreshments made a hit with every- one. The chaperons for the party were Mr. and Mrs. Dirsch and Mr. and Mrs. Allen. Senior Party The Senior Party, from all reports, was quite the function. Every body was there and had a good time. It was the last opportunity the Seniors would have to get together before graduating, so everybody went. Possibly one reason for its success was the fact that it was necessary for outsiders to present an invitation at the door before being admitted. This made the party much more exclusive and everybody wanted to go. A delightful program was planned for the people who didn ' t dance. The class colors, blue and white, were used effectively for decorations. The effect was heightened by the use of a large ' 21 pin illuminated with blue and white bulbs which hung at the front of the dance hall. Refreshments were served and an hour more dancing was allowed because of the fact that the music arrived late. It is hinted that the music was told to come late so that we could dance longer. We made over fifty dollars on this party so it was a success financially as well as socially. RUTH SCHONEBERG.

The Criterion This year the Criterion has been managed under an entirely different plan from that of previous years. Last year, it was run very successfully as a paper ow ned by a few individuals, but it did not fully represent the school. Then the students woke up, and decided that they wanted a genu- ine school magazine. A board of control was elected, and this board chose the members of the staff. It was also decided that the Criterion should be published every two months. The Literary Department showed much improvement and con- tained a wider variety of material than has ever been published. One of the new departments, which was added, was the Exchange. This department has helped to make the Criterion better known in other schools, while this school has become acquainted with the papers of several other schools. The jokes also were cleverly written; in fact, the Criterion con- tained more than any of its exchanges. The students seemed very well satisfied with each issue, and they took a more active interest in the paper than ever before. Knitted Neckwear Brenner Brenner
