The Ce dr us “ Th e Va lentine Pa rty ” On Monday, February 18, the Y. W. invited the Y. M. to a Valentine Party. Each boy and girl was told to bring a Valentine and put his or her name on it. And the girls were told to drop theirs in a white box decorated in red, and the boys were to put theirs in a red box trimmed with white. We all enjoyed games until several fellows declared that they would not play another single tiling until they had something to eat. The boxes were passed around, the girls’ to the boys’ and vice-versa. This way everyone had a partner during the tete-a-tete. We had heart-shaped cookies with red sugared tops, and brick ice cream with a heart in it. As the fellows could not capture any of the girls’ hearts, tliev tried to see how many brick hearts they could down. Much to their sorrow they could not get hold of many, for the committee was a wise old bunch and took good care of their hearts. — S . M. C . “Th e Hallowe’en Pa rty ” Tuesday evening, October 30, the Y. W. C . A. invited the faculty and stu­ dents to a masquerade party in the “ gym.” We had some trouble recognizing our fellow students as witches, ghosts, old- fashioned peoples and others. About 8:30 all joined in a grand march past the judges. Prizes were awarded for the most original costume, and the craziest cos­ tume ; there was also a booby prize. As soon as the masks were removed a king, Harry Pickering, and a queen, Lucile Tanner, were crowned.
