BASKET BALL TEAM.
Misses Clio Rice and Linda Finks
entertained the members of the Basket Ball team with a 6 o'clock luncheon
yesterday. The club colors, red and blue, greeted
the guests from the ball suspended from the ceilings of the gallery to the
dainty hand painted cards that each guest found at her plate, on which the coy
head of a basket ball girl, done in water colors, displayed the artistic skill
of the youthful hostess. Other
cards, displaying the national flag, were written the words, "Fourth of July,"
and from these letters each guest was to make as many words as possible in eight
minutes. The successful contestants being Misses Anita Shelton and Norma Chatham
had the privilege to fire the first "cracker." Then amid a volly of fire works
the "team" burst forth with the yell: "Hippity-Hippity-Hippity-Huss." What in the world is the matter with us?
Nothing at all, nothing at all, For we're
the girls that play basket ball " -
And departed.
A GUEST.
