Juliette, very competent in the role of toastmistress, arose and paid a glorious tribute to our leader—Miss Hartridge. Everyone drank that toast deeply and appre' ciated the reply. Miss Edgett presented us with a very clever verse, and Miss Mapels' den's speech caused more than one laugh. Miss Stinson, Miss Clifford, and Susie Perkins spoke to us in turn, and each was well applauded.
Then Betty Schoonmaker, the president of the Athletic Association, gave out let' ters won in different games. Next Miss Clifford announced that Virginia Codington had won the fifty points for sportsmanship. The cheers were loud and long, dying away only when Mrs. Wigton arose to give out her handsome silver cup. With a delightful little speech of praise, she handed it to Betty Schoonmaker, and nobody could have deserved it more. An active member of the Glee Club, of the Dramatic Association, of the King’s Daughters, of every school and class team, and the holder of the tennis championship, Betty was shown loyal and heartfelt appreciation by her team, the Greens, and admiration by the Whites. Following that, a third and final victory was won by the Greens—the banner. Once again the Whites cheered their rivals, and team competition was over for the year.
The seniors gave their little one'act play next, and every one agreed it was the most original one ever given, and the funniest. The scene was a young girl’s dressing' room, and the furniture was the senior class, except for the heroine, Susie Perkins. One was a footstool, another a lamp, and so forth. The idea was based on one of Mrs. Addoms’s exercises for the imagination, and was worked out beautifully.
Annuals were then distributed, and for the rest of the evening, which was all too short, people danced to Miss Stinson’s gay music or draped themselves around the room on chairs to read a most interesting yearbook, edited by Bettie Bridges.
