Last year it was an unusually happy occasion. Our President and his wife have the faculty of making one and all feel quite at home. The lunch served to a large number of guests was particularly delicious. Later in the evening we sang—old songs and new songs, and everyone carried home the impression of a happy and memorable evening spent in an ideal home. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH RECEPTION A vigorous clapping of hands greeted the invitation extended by the Presby- terian Church to the faculty and students to join in a reception on Thursday eve- ning, September 23, 1926. "A chance to wear my new dress," whispered one girl to another who was sitting beside her in the Chapel. "Um—some good eats," came a voice from the masculine section of the room. On the evening set apart for said event a large crowd of eager, fun-loving young people gathered in the church parlors in anticipation of a good time. Did they go home disappointed? If they did, it was their own fault. For after trying to discover the name of the famous person on the piece of paper which was pinned on one's back, and after being blindfolded and handing all sorts of slimy, prickly, wriggling objects to one's neighbor, it was utterly impossible to remain incased in a shell of dignified coldness. And the refreshments—well, the masculine voice was right,—they were what are termed "good eats." At the close of this enjoyable evening, everyone present felt like rising and shouting,"Thanks to the Presbyterians. Long may they live." —M.L. E.
