6. A Half-hour Good-by Social.
The following suggestions are also offered for the closing exercises:
A C. L. S. C. banquet followed by toasts.
A luncheon party and charades.
Readings connected with any part of the year’s work, illustrated by tableaux.
An evening of games, such as “Characters” or “Twenty Questions,” in which one of the company selects a character or an object, and is then to be questioned by all the rest until they find out what he has in mind. The questions must be asked in such a way that the reply can be “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know.” The company who can not guess rightly before the twentieth question is to be considered dull.
“Throwing Light” is also interesting. One of the party begins to tell a story, concealing all names. When any one thinks he knows what it is about he raises his hand, takes up the story, and goes on with it until a third is enlightened and proceeds with the narrative, and so on until it is evident to all in the room.
