THAT DELTA ALPHA
DELTA ENTERTAINMENT
conscious of having attended the
"best reception yet." And everyone
wishes the best of luck and prosperity
to this young and vigorous sorority.
So here's to the Delta Alpha Delta.
As a most fitting and exquisite
climax to Stetson's social affairs came
the Delta Alpha Delta reception last
Saturday night from eight to ten.
We use "reception" in its most literal
sense—"to receive." For these most
active young ladies certainly did receive the compliments and commendation of everyone present.
For days the girls of the Delta
Alpha Delta have quietly, busily and
calmly been working. It is their
boast that they did everything without
asking assistance of a "mere man."
Those fortunate beings who were
so indebted to these young ladies
for an evening replete with fun and
enjoyment were the girls of the Alpha
Kappa Psi and the boys of the Nu
Sigma and the Phi Kappa Delta.
There were also present a few of
Stetson's faculty.
But I am getting ahead of my story
a little. For instance, let us follow
the adventures of those to whom
the gods had indeed shown favors.
Of course we mean those invited.
On entering Chaudoin—for this was
the scene of all this jollification—we
boys were met at the door and entirely
captivated by the two winsome "Dollies." Miss Eldredge with her sweetest
smile robbed us of our boyish fears
and diffidence and directed our steps
to the spacious parlors.
To say the least we hardly recognized
the parlors of old Chaudoin. Everything was pink and green with roses,
vines, oleanders blossoms and other
decorations named with names unknown to an inexperienced masculine
ear. Need we hint the reason for the
preponderance of pink and green?
'Twere hard indeed to find a prettier
combination of colors for decorating:
Even the punch bowl carried out the
color scheme.
'Tis hard indeed to keep from rhapsodising about the decorations. But
we must on with our story.
As to the costumes of hostesses and
guests this pen will remain silent.
As the fashion reporter for the "Collegiate" was not presemt we are unable
to give you any conception of the
costumes. A mere word-painting would
be insufficient.
Showing their excellent diplomacy
and tact the young ladies got the
crowd divided up in the most admirable
way imaginable. How eagerly we
boys drew oiir fate from the silver
bowl passed around by Miss Brady.
We are unable to speak for all, but
the fates seemed in a kind and generous
mood Saturday night.
Then came the test of musical skill.
We all enjoyed the love story as read
by Miss Duncan and the pianiste.
For their skill and guessing qualities
the prizes were awarded to Miss Ella
Mae Davis and Mr. Liddell.
Now we never knew so much about
hats in all our lives as we did after
that hat game. Now we can't "veil"
our thoughts and we were to "pin" our
thoughts to "wings" we would soar
like the "birds." Well the hat game
came off as smooth as "velvet" and
as a reward for his knowledge of millinery Mr. Frank Smith received the
prize. Of course we know Miss Barron
who received the other prize didn't
know a thing about hats.
After the fun and laughter of this
most novel form of amusement had
died down we were treated to a chromatic rhapsody in pink and green.
For the next few moments we had
better leave the happy company in
pleasant meditation over the cake
and cream. And listening to the
strains of the orchestra, "All went
merry as a wedding bell." But there
isn't to be any sudden "hark, hark"
for us.
After the refreshments followed many
fleeting golden moments of informal
conversation. Those naughty girls on
the top floor couldn't dampen our
ardor even with their cold water.
At last we tore ourselves away

We have our little sheep skins
To show cfur work is done.
It proves that we're no boneheads
To have struggled and have won.
Through four long years we've labored
And studied some, and played,
But such a life as this I've heard
Is how great men are made.
No more our names in Latin,
In Physics, Greek or Math
Will be answered at the roll call
For we're on a different path.
We have sung the Alma Mater
And told our friends good-bye.
We believe it's worth the effort
If you only care to try.
"Kupid."
Dr. Hulley is back from the State
Bankers Convention held last week
at Ocala.
