No. 26 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 xjtxjtxjtxjtxjt xjtxjtxjtxjtxjtxjtxjt xjtxjtxjtxjtxjt AAAAA AAAAAAA AAAAA X X X THE EUSOPHIAN OFFICIAL X X CALENDAR FOR 1911-12.

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.
