The Beta's Party.
The Beta's entertained some two hundred of their friends at their elegant home last Friday evening, May 10.
Their large lawn was beautifully decorated with lanterns of every description. Hammocks and settees were placed in every conceivable place on the grounds.
The cold weather kept the greater part of the company within doors but the house is so large and so well suited for entertaining that no trouble was experienced in making every one have an enjoyable time. At nine the orchestra began to playing in the pavilion which was loaned to the Betas through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Bowersock. Music was furnished as well for these who desired to dance indoors. The novelty of the arrangement gave success to the party. Passing from the halls to the lawn took away the customary formality and stiffness.
The out of town guests were Mrs. Spellman, Miss Smith, and Mr and Mrs. Fred Morris From Kansas City, Mo.; Misses Bigger, Blaker and Miller from Kansas City, Kans.; Misses Thomas, Griffith, Norton and Newman and Mr. Gene Tuitt from Emporia.
Some More Class Spirit.
At 3 o'clock Friday afternoon the entire Junior class started up the Kaw on one of those happy excursions that only Juniors know about. The time between 3 o'clock and Cameron's Bluff was spent in rowing, singing and laughing, a happy preparation for the succeeding event.
While the Juniors were enjoying themselves in the innocence of their happy, holiday, the Sophomores were stealthly forming plans to ambuscade the party The design was executed at 6:30. Nine brave Sophs lead the attack, for the affirmative, striking excitedly for both boats and baskets. Fay, Rickscker, Katherman and Crause, cut and
drifted two of the boats, but unfortunately, in an instant the Juniors had turned from a crowd of harmless, happy muscians into a band of warriors Katherman and Crause were thrown overboard, the boats were overtaken and the remaining Sophs, captured, tied and properly humbled. Telegraph poles and healthy oaks were used as rudimentary jails
Another naval battle was ensuing just down the river Patten was captured and taken from the boat in which he had two girls, and his place was filled by one of the enemy. They also took the lunch basket but very indiscretely placed it in the same boat with their captives, the Junior braves destroyed it before the enemy had time to lift the covers. Patten after a brave fight succeeded in returning to the fair ones and they reached Camerons just in time to join with the rest in the picnic supper, while these naval battles were taking place an interesting skirmish was ensuing in the grove among the baskets. Atkinson and Hud-on at a very opportune moment, while most of the Juniors were interested in the other fight made their raid but the attempts of these two Sophs were futile like the rest and they were captured and tied to the stake. All the captives were tied together and placed in close proximity to the elaborate spread which the Junior girls had prepared, and there they stood, baffled and humiliated. Their mouths watered as they realized how near and yet how far they were from those things which they had hoped to have.
At about 8 p.m. the Juniors out of sympathy for the humiliated Sophomores let them loose, to get back to town the best way they could, but the only alternative was to count ties The Juniors launched their boats on the peaceful Kaw and after floating about and singing many songs they separated after having had a picnic that would be called a "howling success."
The Senior Laws had their class picture taken on the steps of the Baptist church on Tuesday. The resident professors and Judges Dobson, of Kansas City and Benson of Ottawa formed part of the group.
