OUR SOCIAL MEETINGS. 



CARD PARTY. 



'T WAS indeed a humor loving contingent 

 that assembled in the Alumni room to partici- 

 pate in the card party held Wednesday even- 

 ing, February 26. Tobacco in ever) form, in- 

 cluding pipes, were supplied to the guests 

 gratis. After the inspiration for card playing 

 had ceased, stories were given, not fish stories, 

 but students' stories. Singing was then in- 

 dulged in, the piano issuing the accompani- 

 ment. A recitation followed, and then the star 

 attraction ot the evening was rendered in the 

 form of a one act farce comedy which was side- 

 splitting in every sense of the word, the princi- 

 pal actors being Messrs. Ruckert, '98, and Kirk, 

 '94, whose abilities as comedians are justly 

 styled talented. Merrymaking was continued 

 until Roosevelt's "no man's hour" was reached, 

 when the Alumni room became deserted, the 

 verdict of the departing guests being — an even- 

 ing well spent, with a wish for a repetition of 

 the same.

 '81; Secretary Hoburg, N. S, Kirk, '94; J. C. 

 Becker, '96; T. E. Butterworth, '96; G. H.
