Boys Are Guests at
Party
Last Saturday night marked itself
as one of the unwonted occasions at
Brevard when the girls gave to the

for the boys at 7:45. Many of the la
dies brought neat corsages, while oth
ers came ss rrcEtbcys alwej sgo. Over
snow and undtr moonlight the girls
walked their invitees to the party hall
—at West Hall.
After the guests were assembled,
there was an enjoyable program pre
sented by students.
Following the program, the remain
ing time was taken for several min
ute dates, and this time it was the
boys standing around biting a thumb

A candy booth was installed; and the
girls depleted their compacts, even

a hungry boy. There were 280 bars
of candy sold.
