Reception for Faculty On Saturday evening, February 12, the High School entertained the Faculty with a reception at the school building. The rooms were decorated with the High School colors, black and gold, and Valentine colors, red and white. The evening was spent in playing games until 9:30, when light refresh- ments were served. After lunch there were more games and dancing. 1 At about 11:30 they all departed declaring they had had a very good time. The Lyceum Course Three years ago the Junior Class of the Westville High School signed up with the Dennis Lyceum Bureau for the following year. Since then the Senior Classes have furnished such courses. The Class of '21 signed up with the Brown Company instead of the Dennis. A course of this kind is given for two reasons. First, for entertainment during the winter months, second, to teach the Senior Class the value of money and a lesson in com- munity service- A lesson of this kind is taught in no other way in the High School. Judging from the results of the course and the attitude of the people toward it, this line of work Will probably be continued. Reception On the second of April the Faculty entertained the High School pupils at a masked ball. As the guests arrived the reception committee pinned a number on each one and wrote down his name. Dancing was the order of the evening until 10 o'clock, when everyone unmasked. Prizes were award- ed for the best represented boy and girl. Enid Shunk Won the prize for being the best represented girl. She was dressed to represent an old negro lady, Allen Scott McKellips, dressed as a girl, took the prize as the best represented boy. Lunch was served at 10:30, after which they danced until 11:30. At that time everyone departed in high spirits. l.11......-i- Teacher Kto small boy, first day of schooll-And what is your name, little boy ? - Small Boy-Jule.
