The armory was crowded with laughing, chattering high school girls and bashful high school boys. Some members of the faculty also unbent enough to join in the childish revels. The object of the meeting, to get people acquainted, was accomplished by giving each person twenty subjects for conversation, each to furnish the topic for a three-minute talk. It was ladies’ choice and the girls were not bashful. The formal program was much enjoyed. Mr. John Itigg, in a very graceful speech, bade the visitors welcome in the name of the young people’s societies. The other numbers were a vocal solo by Frances Hamlin, a piano duet by the Misses Dougherty, a reading by Mrs. Shaw, and a vocal solo by Mrs. Ashcraft. The chief event of the evening, however, was a contest in which Professor Coen, Professor Manion and Alvin Wheeler tried to see which could tell the biggest yarn. As, from constant use, Professor Coen's stock of stories had run low, the contest lay between the other two. Honors were almost even, but it was generally conceded that Mr.Wheeler had it over the pedagogue.
