Gradutes Entertained.
Friday evening the 1912 grad
uates of the Fitzgerald Hizh
School, were again delightfully
entertained; Miss Linda Jones, a
member of the class, assisted by
Miss Prentiss, being the hostess
’There was no dullness what
ever for anyone at the gathering,
}as is so ofen the case with some
‘in a larger ecrowd: for, having
been long and closely associated,
everyone knew well every other
one, and all had something in
common about which to converse
and to laugh, and had all been
strangers to one another the
novel mannerin which Miss Linda
entertained would permiited no
embarrassing lull in the evening’s
enjoyment.
All wrote ina prettily design
ed and decorated book for the
purpese, the name, address, oc
cupation and aim in life; also
favorite flower, author’s express
ion and jewel; and finally a wish
for Miss Linds, to whom the
book belongs. These being read
without the names, and the guests
being asked to assign to them
the proper name, formed an in
teresting character study. Then
everyone was given a pencil and
a leaflet on which to make eight
resolutions of a humorous nature,
which, when read aloud, were
a source of much laughter.
Dainty and enticing refresh
ments were served.
Musie, including a duet by Miss
Linda Jones and David Paulk,
added much to the pleasures of
the evening. Miss Prentiss ren
dered an excellent reading and
Hermin Martin made a short
parting asddress before the elass;
consisting of Misses Linda Jongs,
Ethel Hulliken, Pearl Linnaman
and Raiford Dozier, and Messrs
Mark Mathias, David Paulk and
Hermin Martin, separated with
the realization that they would
probably never come all together
again, and yet in good cheer
wishing one another well.
