TEACHERS ENTERTAINED
When Mr. and Mrs. Fountain, whose
names are the synonym for youthful gaiety and fun, invited the teachers to spend
an evening in their everybody knew what to expect. But the realization exceeded
even the anticipation. The house, brilliant with lights and beautiful with
flowers was thrown open to the guests who took possession from parlor to
kitchen. Every shred of faculty dignity was cast to the wind and fun reigned
supreme.
Old-fashioned games were played, and the rest while
dignified teachers and guests were required to do all sorts of ridiculous things
at the bidding of the seller of forfeits. It was almost midnight before Mrs.
Fountain could get quiet restored sufficient for the serving or delicious cream,
sherbet and cake. And it was far into "the wee, sma' hours" when the merry crowd
said goodnight to their host and hostess. Those who were lucky enough to be
numbered among the teachers for this occasion were Rev. and Mrs. Andrews, Mr.
and Mrs. Kyser, Mrs. O. E. Curry. Miss Pet Boyles, and Miss Ruth Evans of Waco.
