It happened on Wednesday, the

its purpose was to raise money. For
what? For books and delegates—
books for the children In the Training School and for the students taking Group I courses, and delegates
for the I. K. U. convention which
will be held at Grand Rapids In
April this year.
As a social function the tea was a
success. About forty I. K. U. memb e r s were there, including Miss
Himes, Miss Northey, Miss Barkhuff,
Miss Phillips and Miss Lesher. Miss
McDonald and Miss Roberts were also present. The room was decorated
with Japanese lanterns, cherry blossoms, and cushions. The girls who
served wore Japanese kimonos. Ruth
McCall poured; Pat Thornton was
chairman of the "what-to-eat" committee; Louise Stewart had charge
of the decorating; and Peg Beeson
was head waitress.
As a financial adventure the tea
was almost as successful as the I.
K. U. members had expected. Three
dollars artd seventy-five cents was
collected.

No, It just couldn't be true. Anything so terrible, so unreal, so atrocious, was utterly Impossible. Such
a calamity as this, after all these
years of happiness. Is unbelieveable.
No, no, he was foolish to even imagine such a thing to be true. He
was surely making a mountain out
of a mole hill. Still he could not put
the thought from his mind, and his
fears became an obsession.
Poor Jack. He certainly looked
the picture ot utter dejection as he
sat hunched over his desk, his hair
rumpled, his eyes staring, his arms
hanging limply at his sides. Easter
vacaton was just two weeks away,
and how he had planned for and
looked forward to it. Now all his
dreams lay In ruins. Vacatio*; no
longer held any fascination for him;
Instead he dreaded going home to
his friends and family after what
he had just learned. For now, this
dreadful suspicion had turned into
grim reality. He shuddered as he
realized it: There was no Easter

It happened on Wednesday, the

its purpose was to raise money. For
what? For books and delegates—
books for the children In the Training School and for the students taking Group I courses, and delegates
for the I. K. U. convention which
will be held at Grand Rapids In
April this year.
As a social function the tea was a
success. About forty I. K. U. memb e r s were there, including Miss
Himes, Miss Northey, Miss Barkhuff,
Miss Phillips and Miss Lesher. Miss
McDonald and Miss Roberts were also present. The room was decorated
with Japanese lanterns, cherry blossoms, and cushions. The girls who
served wore Japanese kimonos. Ruth
McCall poured; Pat Thornton was
chairman of the "what-to-eat" committee; Louise Stewart had charge
of the decorating; and Peg Beeson
was head waitress.
As a financial adventure the tea
was almost as successful as the I.

Disillusionment
No, It just couldn't be true. Anything so terrible, so unreal, so atrocious, was utterly Impossible. Such
a calamity as this, after all these
years of happiness. Is unbelieveable.
No, no, he was foolish to even imagine such a thing to be true. He
was surely making a mountain out
of a mole hill. Still he could not put
the thought from his mind, and his
fears became an obsession.
Poor Jack. He certainly looked
the picture ot utter dejection as he
sat hunched over his desk, his hair
rumpled, his eyes staring, his arms
hanging limply at his sides. Easter
vacaton was just two weeks away,
and how he had planned for and
looked forward to it. Now all his
dreams lay In ruins. Vacatio*; no
longer held any fascination for him;
Instead he dreaded going home to
his friends and family after what
he had just learned. For now, this
dreadful suspicion had turned into
grim reality. He shuddered as he
realized it: There was no Easter
Bunny!
