THE WEsTPoR'r HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 25 The Senior Reception. 3 To the Class of IQO8 belongs the honor of the iirst Senior reception given in the his- tory of Westport High School, a delightful precedent for future classes to follow. In a class of more than eighty members, the Op- portunity to become well acquainted is slight. It was in order to develop a more general friendship among the Seniors that the recep- tion on the 6th of March was given. The Seniors, the members of the Faculty, and 'fthe wives of those who are fortunate enough to have them -as Miss Patrick said in her speech of welcome-were the guests enter- tained at the School on that night. The Pres- ident of the Class, Arthur Moses, was unable to be present on account of illness. However, his place was ably filled by Miss Adah Pat- rick, the Vice-President, who welcomed the 'S R? guists in the name of the Class. During the evening a very interesting programme was given, as follows: .. ..Ha.zel Woillard. Piano Solo.. .. . . . . . . .Nita Abraham. . .. . .. ..Paiil.l01ies. Vocal Solo Recitation. Piano Solo. . . . . .Cyifilla H iimes. Recitatioin. . . . . .Sallie McCluetr. Piano Solo. . . . . . .Leslie Hohmaii. Vocal Solo. . . . . .Nita Abraham. .. .. .. .. .. ..MaiieEdge. Piano Solo After the programme, refreshments were served in the lunch-room, which was com- pletely transformed with bunting, Howers, and candles. Among the Senior functions of the year, this one evening will linger long with other pleasant memories of Old Westport. Study Hall Programmes. Owing to our double session this year, as well as lack of room, it has been practically impossible to have an Assembly for the en- tire School. Un several occasions, however, we have had some excellent addresses and one musical programme before the morning and afternoon sessions separately. February 11, judge Brown, judge of the Juvenile Court of Salt Lake City, Utah, spoke on The Boyf' February 25, Dr. Josiah H. Penniman, Dean of the Faculty of the University Of Pennsylvania, gave Some Phases of Uni- versity Life. April 8, Charles VValton Seymoun gave an address on Marie Antoinettef' April 24, Dr. Louis C.
