Show THE O. H. S. TIGER, NOVEMBER 1, 1922 Page 5 SOCIETY COMMERCIAL CLUB GIVES BANQUET The Commercial Club held its first banquet of the season in the school cafeteria on Wednesday evening, October eighteenth. To say that all present had a very enjoyable time would be putting it mild. The "eats" were very good. The committee is to be complimented on their splendid efforts along this line, for what is a banquet without good food? The program was unique. The songs could not be called vocal presenta¬tions of music but at least they were meant to be such, for each partici¬pant on the program was an im¬promptu artist. Roll was called by Leon Keller and each member responded with some witty remark or a joke. The favorite remark was, "I came to eat, not to talk." Evidently a few of the Commercial Club members "Live to eat." The faculty members present were Miss Dora Smith, Mrs. Frankie, Mr. Leigh and Mr. Hinchcliff. Each of the faculty regaled the banqueters with some of their delightful wit. Mr. Theron Jost was toastmaster. His introductions were quite clever. Mr. Elmore Smith proposed a toast to "The Club." He also gave the club some very good advice. Mr. Leon Keller gave a toast to "The Beautiful Ladies." Leon has firmly estab¬lished his fame as a flatterer. Miss Helen Wilson responded with a toast to the "Handsome Men." Miss Wil¬son gave the boys some valuable in¬formation on "What Girls Admire Most in Boys." Miss Edna Mae Booker proposed a toast to the "ornery" members of the club. The program consisted of many delightful numbers. The opening se¬lection was a vocal duet by Mr. Leigh and Mr. Blackham. A dance, in costume, was prettily presented by the Misses Melba Johnson, Mozelle Frantzen and Althea Hadsen. A song, "The Bulldog and the Bullfrog" was given by a girls' quartette. The quartette members were the Misses Callahan, Brockman, Wilson and Bookman. Mr. Elmore Smith and Mr. Overton Zinn sang a duet. A very clever ditty entitled, "The Last Water in the Bath. Tub, ZZZZZZ!" by Mr. Keith Ward, was one of the most enjoyable numbers. Mr. Ward also presented the president of the club, with the clubs' compliment, a bottle of milk. Miss Jennie Callahan and Miss Ada Brockman sang "Sweet Clementine" for the club. Miss Mary Williams and Miss Alta Whipple gave very clever readings. A violin solo by Miss Dora Smith was enjoyed very much, because it was the only real musical number on the program. Mr. Hinchcliff hindered Miss Smith at the piano. Of course something terrible had to happen. The Committee forgot to pass the mints. All those who stayed to help clean up were re¬warded with all the mints and all- day suckers they could eat. A little dancing was enjoyed before the lights went out. It is to be hoped that all the social affairs of the Commercial Club will be as original and as peppy as their first banquet was. —O-H-S— The society editor is overjoyed to announce that plans are being per¬fected by the T. N. T. Club for a dance to be given December 22, at the Berthana. Mr. Barrett, who is in charge of affairs, declares that every member of the club will have a date for this dance and proposes to do this by the scrambled egg method he used so effectively last year. HAYRACK PARTY The Girls' Glee Club entertained thirty of its members at a chicken dinner last Friday night. The girls left immediately after the game be¬tween Bear River and High School and rode to Huntsville on hayracks. They arrived about seven, at the farmhouse, for dinner. A few of the girls played violins, banjos and ukeleles while others sang, and enter¬tained with stunts. Miss Edna Mae Booker and Miss Madeline Reeder were in charge of the affair. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Hinch¬cliff and Miss Edith Austin of Weber College. —O-H-S— The Gamma Kappa Club was en¬tertained Friday night, October 20, at the home of Milton Kreines. "500" was the main diversion of the evening. Mr. Emmert Lippincott won high score and was presented with a beautiful hand-painted bon-bon dish. At the conclusion of the games delicious refreshments were served by the committee in charge. Though this is the first party given by the club this year, the interest and en¬thusiasm displayed by the members promises other social events in the near future. THE FACULTY PARTY Tuesday, beginning at three-thirty, the Girls' Athletic Association launch¬ed its career with a faculty party. From every nook and cranny in the high school members flocked forth to make the initial entertain¬ment a success, and to show the re¬mainder of the school what a lively bunch of girls were included in the organizaion. Wihout a doubt, a few of those who otherwise would not have condescended to grace the party with their presence, were lured to the scene of revelry by the anticipation of the refreshments. These delica-cies were in abundance at the begin¬ning of the divertisement, but owing to the fact that so many gentlemen and freshmen were in attendance, they fell short toward the end. Mr. Merrill has not stated whether or not the list of absentees for Wednesday was lengthened, but in all probabilities a thorough investiga¬tion will show that this was the case. Of much interest and enjoyment to the spectators were the dances, clev¬erly executed by girls under the direction of Miss Stookey. Marindy Greenwell demonstrated her ability along that line by successfully danc¬ing "The Love Letter." Since then there have been several guesses as to who sent the missive, and, as a result, Miss Greenwell has almost definitely decided to open a contest and offer a prize for the person guessing correctly. The "take-off," "Another Love Letter," by Phyllis Reed was quick in winning applause from the appreciative crowd. Madge Ashton, while dancing the "Gypsy Flirt," added a personal touch by flirting with a tall, blonde, curly haired member of the faculty. Was it chance, fate, or destiny that inter¬fered with the working of the screens and left the dancers of "Perioette" lying dead upon the stage unshielded from the gaze of the public? "The Love Gypsy," by Carmen Hall and Rosalind Venema, deserved much praise, but the climax was a source of much disappointment to one little freshman, who was heard to remark, "Ah, why doesn't he kiss her?" The series of Oriental dances by girls in gaily colored costumes seemed to bring a touch of the East into the auditorium. "Felicity" truly betokened happiness and contentment when danced by Lucille Olsen. Sure¬ly the faculty did not know how graceful shepherds could be until Irene Lockwood and Vinette Lee danced "The Little Shepherd Boy," and demonstrated the wonderful pos¬sibilities. It was announced that the next number on the program was to be "The Artist and His Dolls," but when the handsome young painter failed to make his appearance, doubts were expressed as to the truth of the statement. However, it was later learned that he became so engrossed in a conversation with some fair damsel that he forgot his own win¬some dolls upon the stage. Another number of much amuse¬ment was a reading written by Mark Twain, and given by Virginia Green. Edna Mae Booker delighted her hearers with a solo called "Putting Apples on the Lilac Tree." We can agree on one thing! After the success of this party all members of the organization are an¬ticipating the next party, a swimming meet.
