1910 parties realizing that this would be our last year together the seniors decided early in the year to keep things busy socially as a class miss lila eccles was hostess at the first party given in october although it was much against the wishes of some of the anti-seniors all the senior boys arrived safely and ready for the fun an extraordinary source of entertainment was soon afforded our patroness soon had every boy writing proposals in verse to the girl whose name he had drawn the girls were similarly occupied in accepting or refusing as the case may have been all the verses were read aloud to the amusement of the listeners the entire process passed off gracefully considering of course that all were absolute amateurs a delicious buffet lunch was served thus reviving all who had been overcome by the unusual occasion after the junior-senior debate the junior debaters were the guests at an orpheum party a similar occasion was planned for the sopho more delators on the evening of the day the debate was first scheduled charles stewart eccles was the host at the home of his mother and the class of 10 and the sophomore team were the guests here we became authors a popular song with a lady's name was given each boy it became the duty of each couple to parodize the chorus and then give a vocal rendition of the same it was indeed astonishing to see just what ability literary and musical we have in the class (?). a most exquisite lunch was served by little girls in old rose and white aprons this being the prevailing color throughout the evening the third party was in the form of a sort of domestic science class robbed of its disagreeable features — teachers etc as the boys arrived each one was unceremoniously ushered into a white apron and set to work ; some peeling potatoes others making biscuits beat ing egg or doing other culinary antics a fine time was spent in cooking but when it came to the neces sary eating — oh my it is really surprising how concentrated and compact biscuit can become if just made right and how absolutely solid cake can be if the cooks know just how to do things every thing was certainly fine though if one thing above another deserves special mention it was the mulligan stew planned and constructed by edyth and iceland we must not forget to say however that no erinus results followed in fact we are all back to school again now menu strawberry cocktails mulligan on toast totatoes en surprise twin biscuits salad a la weber ice cream cake fudge evidently the dreams of the student body concerning the gym will become realities just as soon as we get beyond the possibility of enjoying it in this regard it is hardly an exaggeration to say we envy the freshman class of next year for they can reap benefits from it during their entire stay here nevertheless ever since the word gym was mentioned in the acorn this year the senior class has been continually boosting as a means of making the matter as live as possible and to bring it permanently before the minds of the students and public an appropriation from the class treasury was voted for the purchase of boosters buttons to be generously distrbuted and worn furthermore it was decided to appropriate all the surplus in our treasury at the end of the year to the gymnasium fund just how much there will be is hard to estimate now the sum on hand reaches beyond the 100 mark and to this will be added the success from the class play to be given in the ogden theater tuesday evening may 31 the class dramatic company has been at work ever since the washington party february 18 and promises to stage the best senior play ever presented from the academy
