A novel way of observing Halloween
last Friday night was adopted by the stu
dents of the academy. First, successful
farce, or minstrel show, was given by the
boys in the academy hall. A promenade
followed. Then students and teachers
assembled on the common, where they
built fire, prepared "roasts,'' sang songs,
told tales, and saw "ghosts." In Justice to
the students it should be said that they
are not chargeable with the various
depredations which were perpetrated
during the night.
In view of the expected departure of
Miss Abbie Pike, the Earnest Workers
and other friends gave her a surprise party
last Thursday evening. A purse of $500
was presented her, with the request that
she purchase some useful article as a re-
membrance of her Craftsbury friends.
Miss Pike is one of our estimable young
people who has grown up in the place.
She graduated from the academy and has
taught several schools in town. She has
been helpful member and office bearer
in the Earnest Workers society for several
years, and a singer in the church choir.
Her services will be missed, and her many
friends regret to have her leave; but their
best wishes follow her.
