DELIGHTFUL BANQUET; ENJOYABLE RECEPTION

Senior-Junior Affair al Presbyterian Church and Armory Proved Very Enjoyable Affair. The Good Cheer class of the Presbyterian church served the banquet for the Junior-Senior reception in the church dining room Friday evening at 6:30 o’clock. The room, which is finished in green and white, was decorated with flowers and foliage of the same colors, making an admirable background for the young guests in their dainty evening dresses. The guests included besides the members of the two classes and the faculty, Mrs. Ross Dean and Mrs. Wass and Dr. and Mr. A. R. Kresler and Mr. and Mrs. .A. R. Hopkins, members of the school board. The menu and decorations received many compliments. The toasts on “Spirits” of various kinds, from those that gave one headache to the school spirit, which was hard to define, were entertainingly discussed. > In fact, so much did the speakers have to tell of these various spirits and the committee who assigned them that as soon as the last speaker had finished the spirit of anxiety took possession of the crowd and a general rush for the armory ensued. The music for the dance was furnished by Nadel’s orchestra from Chicago. The dance lasted fintil 2 o’clock and everyone enjoyed a good time.
