Field day, although entertaining, was not
the success we expected. This was due to
the weather and not at all to the manager
John P. Cameron who had done all he could
to make it a gala day. It was too frigid
and the boys were consequently in poor con
dition. No records were broken. Carter,
Shue, Spooner and McComb carried off the
laurels of he day. The last named secured
the medal for best all-round athlete.
At the Palladian society of May 17, a
short play, "Ladies of Athens" was given
by Palladian girls who are members of Mrs.
Manning's class in elocution. The stage
was prettily arranged to represent an
Athenian parlor, and Xantippe received
calls from the various ladies who desired to
tell how much their husbands thought of
Socrates, much to Xantippe" ti disgust. All
the parts were well taken, and the scene
presented when all the actors were on the
stage was charming.
A very pleasant and successful surprise
party was given to Miss Myrtle Friel by her
parents at their home on Twenty -fourth and
T streets, Tuesday night. The occasion
was the farewell party of Miss Friel, as they
leave this week for their new home in Ohio;
needless to say to the sincere regret of all
Unions. The evening Whs very enjoyably
spent in music, amateur theatricals, games"
and refreshments. The following were
present: Misses Smoyer, Shively, Ilolofson,
Orandall, Triplett, Stockton, Martha Chap
pell, Rena Chappell, Cnrtiss and Annie
Prey. Messrs. Shreve, Short, Rhodes, Ned
Abbott, L. J. Abbott, Kcene Abbott, New
branch, Cameron, C. M. Barr and S. H.
Martin.
A very enjoyable social was given by the
Y. M. and Y. W. 0. A's last Saturday eve,
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bentley.
About 150 were present. The lawn was
lighted by Japanese lanterns and as the
evening was pleasant the young people en
joyed games until about ten o'clock, when
Mr. Thayer called the assembly to order and
the c mpany took their places in the yard
where seats had been arranged for all. A
short program was then given, first a vocal
duet by Misses Ferguson and Triplett. This
was followed by a recitation by Miss Thomp
son, entitled "The Bapteesement o' the
Bairne," which was delivered in a very
pleasing manner. Mr. Evans then delighted
the audience with a vocal solo, "If I Were
a Knight of the Olden Times," and re
sponded to an encore. Mr. Walker then
recited, "Tarn O'Shantcr" in true Scotch
manner and was heartily applauded, after
which Misses Auman and Atkinson gave a
vocal duet with guitar accompaniment by
Miss Cleaver. Appropriate speeches were
then made by Mr. Weldon, Miss Shirley
Smith and Miss Boose, upon the work
undertaken by the association to send dele
gates to the Lake Geneva Bible school, this
summer. Refreshments were then served
in the house, and after enjoying the delicious
ice cream and cake, the crowd dispersed.
