JUNIOR RECEPTION A BRILLIANT SUCCESS

Beautiful Decorations, Fine Music, and Nice Refreshments Make Pleasureable Event The Junior reception to the Senior class was held Wednesday evening and proved one of the most enjoyable events of the kind ever given in Rensselaer. The class of 1914 had devoted much time to planning the event and the various committees had performed their tasks in an able manner. The decorations were especially attractive. Pennants and banners having the figures of 1913 and 1914, covered the walls, tissue strips festooned the lights that were covered (with Japanese lanterns and transparencies showing the years that the two classes graduate being suspended in the doors. Cozy corners, with pillowed benches, half shielded by curtains and drapery, were in three corners of the large room. Bteween strips of tissue paper extending from the entrance to pedestals on which were blooming flowers. The reception committee lined up up to greet all of the guests, about one .hundred and fifty in number. Refreshments consisting of heartshaped ice cream bricks, cake and mints were served by several of the pretty Junior girls. A grand march followed and then the evening was devoted to dancing. The music was furnished by the Barley orchestra, of Logansport, and was delightfully pleasing. In every respect the reception was a huge success and the Junior class of 1913 has established a record for hospitality that will be difficult to equal in succeeding years.
