1927 Cedrus Yearbook

THE CEDRUS 197 PIGTAIL DAY Spring is truly here! All the girls don their gingham dresses and wear their hair down in "pigtails" (if possible), if not—big bows of ribbon are just as attractive. This is a tradition at C. C. and one that everyone enjoys. Since pig- tails are a thing of the past for most of us, tradition must necessarily be altered, and this year aprons—bungalow aprons, fudge aprons, practical or frilly and dainty aprons—are very much in evidence. KID PARTY Good evening, Miss X—. You didn't know that we were young ladies? Oh, my, yes! You should have seen us at the Kids' Grand Ball one night last Spring! Dressed in our best pinafores, half-socks, and slippers, and with big stiff bows on our curly locks, we arrived at the Community Hall and were each given a lolly- pop to keep us quiet until the other little girls should arrive. When all had assembled and the faculty mammas were cheerfully gossiping over their prodigies, we had a grand march and appropriate prizes for "the best- dressed child" were awarded to the Misses Lena Hastings, aged two and one-half; June Thompson, aged five; and Mary Beam, aged eight. The evening's frolic consisted of the games common to childhood, such as "Drop the Handkerchief" and "Cat and Rat." Dainty refreshments consisting of ice-cream cones and lolly-pops were served. After a rollicking song fest we de- parted before bedtime (?),each with a toy whistle with which to keep the campus awake for the remainder of the week.
