TWO DANCES TO HE HELD AT S. T. C. THIS WEEK-END
The Student Council and Y. W. C. A. Cabinet were "Miss Mary's" guests at Longwood for the week-end. The girls being very much elated over having the honor of being the first to spend the week-end at Longwood, went out at five o'clock Saturday afternoon. Before dinner they played some childish games out on the lawn. Then they came in and "sing" was pioduced in a miniature form. In between the "skits" Dr. Jarman told some very interesting stories. After a delightful dinner the guests engaged in a few hands of bridge at the end of which the scores were added and Virginia Gurley was awarded high score prize, and Rena Robertson consolation. While some danced others told stories and popped corn by an open fire which brought a glorious end to a perfect day. When the guests retired up on the third floor some found "pie beds" and other practical jokes that were prepared by "guess who?" The guests were awakened Sunday morning by "Miss Mary" gently tapping on the door and saying that breakfast was ready. After breakfast the girls returned to school in time for church. Each declared she had the best time she had experienced while at S. T. C.
