An Enjoyable Event
The Normal Faculty Recep-
1 tion given to the summer stuf-
i ents and their friends Saturday
night was an unbounded success.
It has been the custom to give ;
a similar reception at the begins
ning of each session, but we can
safely say that none of them
have been more thoroughly en-
joyed. Everyone wore the re-
! ; ' «
quired beaming countenance and
from the time of their arrival
until they left, some six or seven
hundred young people enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent.
Early in the evening a com-
mittee of three married men was
appointed whose duty it was to
see that every young man was
talking to at least two girls at
the same time. This was done
that all might get acquainted,
for that is the life of a school.
The exercises were opened
with piano solos followed by two
selections by the Harris-Hines
Band and Orchestra after which
Messrs. Birdwell, Thomas and
Nelson—bachelors whom Mr.
Harris designated a “three men
in a predicament” sang a humo-
rous song “If 1 Had a Wife. Se-
lections by the Band, the Glee
Cluo and Mr. Thomas’ Casey
Jones followed one after another.
At the proper time punch was
served, the ingredients of which
we were assured were strictly in
accordance with the principles
of the state-wide prohibition ag-
itation.
The last and one of the best
features of the evening was the
folk dances by one of Miss Hines
physical culture classes. The
dances were splendid and they
showed the result of faithful
practice.
