FACULTY RECEPTION WHERE "24 IS CARRYING ON

 

Saturday, and the first social func-
tion of the season—what a bustle of
preparation the thought created. One
week of school had become a part of
the past, and the immediate future in
the form of the faculty reception held
no little interest for us.

Upon entering the gymnasium at
eight o’clock, we were greeted first
by Miss McKay, who graciously
started each of us down that long re-
ceiving line composed of the faculty
members and their wives, and the Y.
W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. presidents.
Many new faces greeted us there, but
all were so pleasant that we found
the strange experience rather agree-
1ble,

The first part of the evening was
spent in a “general getting acquain-
ted” period, each student endeavor-
ing to learn to know as many pre-
viously unknown fellow students as
possible. We were then delightful-
ly entertained by the short program
which follows: Address of Welcome,
Dr. Eisenberg; Piano solo, Etude Mel-
cdic by Moskowski, Miss Maguire;
address of Y. W. C. A. president,
Miss Helen Drumm; vocal solo, by
Martin, “Come to the Fair”, Miss
Gerberich; reading, “Blue Roses”,
Miss Strunk; address of Y. M. C. A.
president, Mr. George Dvoryak; vio-
lin solo, “Mazurka” by Wieniawski,
Miss Jones; reading, ‘“The Highway-
man” by Alfred Noyes, Mrs. Vincent.

Each number in itself was a de-
light, and those who rendered mus-
ical selections or reading giraciously
rcsponded with encores.

Following the program we enjoye
another special period at the end of
which came the grand march and
light refreshments. Each student
betaking himself to his room, found
himself saying that the first week of
school had certainly terminated in o
nleasant manner.
