THE CAMPUS MIRROR
* V SOCIAL NOTES V T
MOREHOUSE HOSTS
Spelman students who attended the More
house Junior and Senior reception. May 4,
were delayed an hour in starting because
the big fire on Whitehall Street threatened
to spread and caused terrible congestion of
traffic.
However, the time of returning was ex
tended and every detail of the event passed
as pleasantly as if there had been no delay.
Following the receiving of the guests, there
was a short program, then time for talk,
and later refreshments were served. More
house men and faculty once more proved cor
dial hosts and hostesses.
AFTERNOON TEA
Thursday afternoon, May 10, the Sopho
mores were hostesses to their Senior sisters
at tea on the lawn in front of Rockefeller
Hall.
As the Seniors approached the green, the
Sophomores met them and escorted them to
the circle of benches arranged around the
flag pole. Games were played to music fur
nished by a victrola.
After a short program of welcome and en
tertainment delicious tea and assorted cakes
were served.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS’
FROLICS
Miss Shoff entertained the cast, the stage
managers, and all the helpers of the play,
“The Old Peabody Pew,” in her room in just
the way boarding school girls like. Misses
Kurrelmeyer and Howard were guests of
honor.
Miss Kurrelmeyer, Principal of tlie High
School, took the Seniors to see the Federal
Prison and to visit Clark University campus.
Everyone gasped on seeing such a beau
tiful building surrounded with velvety lawns
and flowers—and it is a prison !
The visit to Clark and Gammon was full of
interest and thrills. Miss Kurrelmeyer left
no duty or pleasure of a hostess undone, as
she presented the Fligh School Seniors to
her friends and showed them the lovely cam
pus.
Another happy event for the S. IT S. Sen-
.iors was the reception given them by the
class of 1929. Decorations, program, games,
refreshments were just right in every way
and the faculty seemed to enjoy it as much
as any student did.
LAST SENIOR CLASS
MEETING
As the last of a series of entertainments
given-by members of the Senior Class to
tluir classmates, Misses Jeanetta Hicks, Ear
nest ihe Morrow and Nannie Gadson were
hostesses at a party, Friday evening, May
11. The evening was spent playing games,
chatting and listening to beautiful victrola
music.
Tuna fish salad, crackers, punch, ice cream
and cake were served.
All these informal class affairs have been
interesting and jolly, but this last, more than
all the rest.

ANNUAL JUNIOR-SENIOR
RECEPTION
The annual reception was given by the Jun
ior College Class in honor of the Senior Col
lege and Senior Elementary Classes, Friday
night, May 18, in Laura Spelman assembly
room.
As the clock hands pointed to 7:45, two
escorts, Miss Willie Barnett and Miss Eunice
Roberts, met the guests at Morehouse North,
and lured by the sound of soft music, led
them to Laura Spelman Hall.
On entering the softly lighted room, which
was beautifully decorated with the colors
of the Senior and Junior classes, blue and
green, sweet-toned voices sang a welcome :
“Seniors Will Soon Be Leaving," to the
tune of Blue Heaven.
From the smooth and loving fold of Spel
man College the ship of 1928 was set sail
ing into the rough and rugged bay by Miss
Julia Pate, President of the Junior Class.
Miss Dorothy Roberts, being on board the
ship of 1928, responded to the welcome, and
Miss Mary Dunn, President of the Elemen
tary Class, read the “Senior Gems,” giving
the characteristics of each Senior. A poem
composed by Miss Frankie Clark, was also
read.
President Read and Dean Carpenter, with
a visitor, were ushered in and honored with
a special song.
As a variation from the usual annual Jun
ior and Senior receptions, literary games were
invented, by which the ability of every Senior
was tested. Prizes were awarded to Misses
Dumas, Finley and Sirmans.
The President, Dean and Seniors each se
lected from the crew on board the 1928 ship
a miniature doll that looked like “them
selves.”
Ice cream and wafers were served; then
the Juniors sang to the Seniors a farewell
song and wished them marked success.
