Mrs. Cotton Gives Silver Tea

On Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Margaret Lee Cotton and her daughter gave a delightful silver tea to several members of the student body. The hostesses were ably assisted by Misses Mildred Blackburn and Gertrude Hobbs. The girls on being ushered into the living room were at once put at ease and no formality of stiffness was allowed to appear.

After hearing of the purpose of W.C.T.U. in whose behalf the tea was given, and after being favored by musical selections by Misses White and Williams, the guests were told to giggle, gabble, gobble and get. They immediately began on the first two injunctions and the other two came later. The Victrola furnished enticing music. After the girls were tired of talking a delicious salad course was served and then the guests reluctantly departed. Each felt that the evening had been one of the most delightful of the season.

Those present were Frances Bulla, Tom Stewart, Naomi Tomlinson, Vivian Hayworth, Ruth Coltrane, Katherine Campbell, Mary Ellen Griffin, Luna Taylor, Annie Brown, Lula Raiford, Edna Raiford, Marjorie Williams, Ada McCracken, Anna Henley, Francis McCracken, Esther White, Thelma Cloud, Jean Whitney, Mildred Blackburn, Gertrude Hobbs.
