La Grande, Oregon It
Having been decoyed away from
home last evening by May Netll. Miss
Greta Jackson returned to find twenty-eight
of her frienda gathered at
her home. Miss Jackson will leave
for her home In Council Bluffs next
Monday after a visit of almost a year
with her aunt, Mrs. F. It. Swaney. As
an expression of their regrtt to lose
Silas Jackson from the high school
circles her friends gave her a royal
surprise. There was dancing, Blnging
and games to make the time fly all too
quickly. Cider, Ice cream, cake and
candy were served by the guests.
When the hands of the clock neared
the midnight hour, each and every
one, regardless of age or sex, crowded
about the friend whose departure is
sincerely regretted, and bade her an
osculant farewell.
Enthusiasm ran high at the first
Blue Mountain association meeting of
the year held last evening at the home
of George H. Currey. Following up
the plan of last year the Mountaineers
decided that they would issue a chal
lenge for a debate with the Lambda
Phi Alpha society of the Presbyterian
church. According to the rules of
debate It will be the privilege of the
latter society to announce the subject
of argument and of the former to
choose the side that it wishes to
argue. Flans relating to the work of
the Blue Mountain association for
the ensuing year were discussed, af
ter which there was an informal sea
son of song, and conversation. - Re
freshments were served. The next
meeting of the society will be held at
the home of Mr. Fred Currey.
Thirty-six members of the Baptist
Young .People's Union met at the
home of Mrs. C. E. Happersett last
evening to transact the monthly
business, and enjoy a social hour. An
, oyster supper seasoned with sparkling
conversation, and sallies of wit made
an .evening 'long to be remembered.
There is a fine spirit of life and vigor
displaying itself in this organization.
The meetings held weekly are always
filled with wholesale interest. The
book under discussion now, "Aliens or
Americans," will be completed at the
meeting tomorrow evening.
