16 ACORN The Senior class of Nineteen Eleven For a party met at the hour of seven. Of Miss McKay's quarters, possession they took And in pairs, proceeded their supper to cook. President Ernest, from Huntsville town, Helped Ollie to bake the potatoes brown. Critchlow and Mabel, Charley and Rae, Myrle and Wilford, with lots to say; All were engaged in making cake, Which in the oven were placed to bake. Malcolm with Pearl and Lulu with Keith, Biscuits made, which needed no teeth. Horace, Marcia and Isabel Made Tomato Soup, which tasted swell. Miss Parker and "Shorty" were working, too; We thot they were making a "Mulligan Stew." Franklin Moore was also there, Leone and Lawrence exchanged "Hot Air." Ada and Clyde made Molasses Candy, Which everyone thought was "Fine and Dandy." Beatrice tried to cook with Jim, But didn't succeed, and of course blamed him. Salad by Alma and Irene, Tho' Alma at cooking seemed quite green. Ernest Wilson and his own "Lill." At Salad dressing showed their skill. Wiggins and Nina found much to do Clarence and Mary were, busy, too. Sweet was the fudge that was made by Mabel, With Purrington fussing around her table. Taffy was made by Ethel and Pres. Tho' I didn't taste it 'twas good, I guess. Alberta and Lucile "Bossed" it all, While on one side, keeping "Bachelor's Hall," McGregor, Barlow, Miller and Green, Ervin, Angus and Frank were seen. Then each tried to look like a first-class cook, While Barlow, a flashlight picture took. For cooking, Porter arrived too late, But in eating, nothing passed his plate. And after supper, home they went, Thinking the evening very well spent. 'Twas a grand success, beyond all question, And no one reported indigestion. ACORN 17 But the Seniors forgot to mention The cake which they did bake, For it was not their intention That they should get stung with their make, 'Cause they made it for the Juniors, Who got stung to be sure; But who shall say that the Seniors Were not stung the more, For Myrle, one of their number, Liking the looks of the cake, From one of the frosted corners A nice little piece did break. And then there was sneezing and coughing, With pepper she nearly got choked, And O, the delight of the Juniors; But the Seniors were quite provoked. '12. The variety of games and the different interesting ways of choosing partners for special dances at the Junior Class Party resulted in everyone having a good time. A number of boys finding the step ladder too short to reach the room in which the cakes were stored, as a last resort loitered around the halls, waiting for a hand out. About 11 o'clock when the Juniors had disposed of the cakes the boys were seen slowly and solemnly "beating it" for home with empty stomachs. The Sophomores claim their party was the most successful one given this season. Everybody came intending to have a good time, and no one went away disappointed, although some were detained until about 2 o'clock washing dishes. The band made its first appearance at the lecture of Judge Geo. D. Alden on Dec. 5, 1910. One of the musical numbers rendered by the. band was "America," with the five-year-old son of Prof. E. W. Nichols as coronet soloist. The choir is now fully organized with Myrle Anderson as general secretary and the following as assistants: Rae Barlow, Iona Garner, Iva Steers, Ed Bingham, Mabel Ririe and Viola Jensen. Irvin Nelson and Boyd Lindsay are the librarians. '11
