THE PHOENIX
A Slumber Party given by Louise Glaser at her home was another event which was heartily enjoyed by the girls. We gathered at the Glaser home about nine o'clock when the lively time started. Beds were made on the porch, and a sleepless night followed. A lovely lawn breakfast was served in the morning after which the girls went home to take a nap. Our Rush Party took place at Carmen, about thirty miles from Alva. The Carmen park furnished a delightful place for an enjoyable afternoon and a picnic supper. The afternoon was spent in tennis, swimming and boating. After the picnic supper we were rushed home by the stormy looking cloud , and although we were caught in a shower, it did not dampen our spirits in the least. Beula Farrand, rr's president for 1927-28, was one of the very few who won the Red Cross Service Button in the Life Saving Contest which was held during the summer session at Northwestern.

We are continuing the custom of our bi-monthly luncheons, which are served in the room by a committee of three or four girls. Thursday, of the second week of school we gathered at noon and enjoyed one of these lovely luncheons.
