S. friends and classmates. A delightful luncheon was served at about 10:30, after 'which the guests departed, wishing Florence many happy returns of the day. A novelty of the season was a progressive Rook party Feb. 24th, at the home of Anna Sallinger, Lillian Hines, Fay Gibson and Gertrude Frerking. Anna Sallinger and Mr. Frerking won the prize for winning the most games, a delicious 'box of home-made candy. After five games had been played they all met at the home of Gertrude Frerking and dainty refreshments were served, all reported a jolly good time. The Senior class planned a hay-ride Friday night, Oct. 17th, but owing to weather conditions, they were unable to have it until Tuesday night. Prof. Corbin was taken along as chaperone. After riding around for some time without any yvrong-doing we drove 'back to town and kidnapped the proprietor of the Model Drug Store, but he is a sport and took it good naturedly. He helped us to eat our fruit and ham sandwiches, after which he treated the crowd. ' Speaking of March-she is the gay deceiver in the years family of twelve children. One day she beams upon the world with her sunniest smile. But woe unto such dreams, they are not to 'be realized. The very next day, or it may lbe that very same day, March changes her mind and dread winter is descended upon the earth again and she must don her dull, brown dress with nothing lby a flurry of snow or a few icicles to adorn it. Society has settled down to its Lenten quiet with a sigh of relief after one of the maddest, merriest seasons in several years. While the wheel of social afctivities has not ceased to whirl, it is revolving at a much slower rate. The Seniors and their friends formed a line party to the Star Theatre Saturday night, March 6th, to see the five-reel feature, The Man from Funeral Ranch. After the show Colleen Newkirk entertained the class at her home with contests, music and an elaborate luncheon. One of the most enjoyable events of the season was given at the home of Mrs. S. S. Sanger, where Mesdames Belisle, Frerking and Sanger entertained the boys and girls basket ball teams. Various games were indulged in until 8:30, when the guests were invited into the dining room, where they were served to a luncheon consisting of sandwiches, cream potatoes, chicken in patties, pineapple salad and brick ice cream, with three kinds of cake.
