Julian Hubbell arrived at last and
carried in her pocket a piece of candy
to be given to the boy who was nice-
est to her. It is needless to say that
the boys were quite bedside them-
selves finding things that would
please her. Who got the candy has
not been disclosed. (It has later been
found out that she ate the candy her-
self.)
The latest arivals were E. H. Wray
and Lillian Burkett.
When the children had played un-
til they were tired, they were called
into the kitchen and entertained with
ipe cream cones and all day suckers,

ample supply.
Tie children said their _ >d nights
at an hour when they should have
been savely tucked in bed and sound
asleep. They all asusred Mr. and
Mrs. Lutz that the next time had an-
other party to be sure and let them
know and if mamma would let them
they would come back.

Commencement. June 1924
The commencement program
the close of the present long sesison
is full fo interesting items in addi-
tion to the numbers already rendered.
The following events are jet schedul-
ed:
Class Day Exercises are to be held
here Friday. May 30, 3:00 p. m. in

Uiinini Banquet
Every former diploma or
graduate who receives a copy of this
news letter, please consider this a
personal invitation to be present for
the Alumni Banquet on Saturday e-
vening. May 31, at eight o’clock in the
Girls’ Dormitory. Special arrangement
are being made to care for all visi-
tors, and the Committee will be dis-
appointed if a large crowd of the
Aluinni fail to return for this home-
coming.
Hon. W. F. Cornelius will serve as
"Backward, turn backward, on
time in your flight; Make me a child
again just for tonight.’’
For once this thing has been done
and Father time rolled back the cur-
tain how many years shall we say?
But no matter how many years, the
curtain was rolled back until
dignified seniors and juniors
again bashful, stammering lads
maidens of their early teens.
Mr. and Mrs. Lutz were the hosts
to the members of the Juniors
for Seniors classes on that occasion
which is recorded as having happened
on the evening of Saturday, May 3.
The first to arrive were little Jim-
mie McKinley and Willie Tittle, Jim-
mie, who had received a new doll,
doll buggy, and umbrella, brought
these along, or rather she brought
the umbrella while Willie very care-
fully- pushed the buggy.
Not long after his arrival Johnnie
Edge discovered a place in the floor
where bad boys were put. This dis-
covery however had no decided affect
upon this behavior as he soon called
attention to many other interesting
things in the house. He was particul-
arly interested in the pictures and
books and the skating rink.
Jo Robertson, wearing her new red
ribbon and her handkerchief securely-
pinned on her apron ,was very glad
indeed that she did not have to tell
a file as she had feared, because she
was not asked if she had had enough
ice cream.
Ruby Moran seemed to enjoy her-
self intensely and looked very pretty-
in her new pink party dress.
Little Ada and Anne Clare Wray-
brought along their guest Beulah
Binnion, whose mother had allowed
her to come all the way from Sulphur
Springs to spend the week end. Never
did children look happier than did
these three with their broad crisp-
sashes and ribbons.
Mary Fling who had not yet over-
come a lisp in her voice, was a little
toastmaster and M. Leland Brecken- late *’as so°n forgiven and taken
ridv will be the orator of the occa- *n,° •*ie games,
sion. Be sure to arrange to be here,
and drop a card to Mr. Leo Presnell
to rserve a place for you at the ban-
quet table.
