The parlor and reception hall were beautifully decorated in red and wihite, the junior colors, and the living room in black and gold, the senior colors, while the dining room was decorated in pure white and red hearts pierced with arrows. Red hearts on which were pasted small pictures were pasr-ied and the guests were asked to write the prophecies of the members of the junior and senior dl asses which the picture represented. After fifteen minutes they were collected and read. Messrs. Dean, Lee and Sharp were chosen as judges. Many ongidal and humorous prophecies were read but William Babcock was given the prize with his prophecy on “Pete” Thompson in which he said “Pete would rise in the world as he ■ rises from hie seat fpr recitation.” Partners for supper were chosen by watching small red hearts which were fastened to red and white ribbons and interwoven about the tooip. When paper hearts failed to match, the real hearts did. The refreshments consisted of red and white cream hearts, angel food cake, and mints.
