Peele Cottage, A
Scene of Festivity
On Wednesday, April 16, the members of the Senior class were
given a unique and charming reception by three of the class—Misses Coltrane,
Hockett and Bird—when the invitations were received curiosity was heightened
and interest increased by the place, Peele Cottage, and the admonition, “Wear
Old Clothes.”
At the appointed time the guests wended their way to the demure
little cottage. It proved to be a veritable corner of comfort with blazing
fires, rugs, pillows and all things needful. On the porch, punch was served to
the entering guests by two obliging freshmen. After this was done each guest
found a seat in some comfy chair and the good time began.
Since it was nearing the season when the Easter Rabbit holds
his court, eggs were in evidence from every corner. They furnished the fun for
the evening. Contests were held, the eggs holding the cue. After much merriment
had been aroused by mimicry of our illustrious faculty and other dignitaries,
and by each guest’s displaying some talent which he did not before know he had,
a delicious diversion came in the form of a salad course and a second course of
lemon meringue pie. These delights completed a perfect evening.
The last event was a contest in artistic ability and various
were the subjects chosen. Thus the hour for departure came and amid sincere
expressions of appreciation to the hostesses the guests departed, holding in
their several hearts memories dear of Ruth, Georgiana, Eula—and the Peele
cottage!
