fortunes in them, which were hidden
around in the room.
About nine thirty the “Poverty Re-
freshments,’’ which were colored water

not. Mr. Burney and Arlin Yeager
won the “boohie” prizes. Mr. Bur-
ney’s prize, which was a music box,
was won by giving ten different kinds
of laughs. Arlin’s was won by imi-
tating two cats fighting.
Around eleven o’clock the real re-
freshments were served and then the
teachers and Seniors were satisfied
and went home contented. All had an
enjoyable evening

served with a bountiful buffet luncheon
