Present at the Enjoyable
Affair at the School
Last Night.
FUN IN G1GGLE ALLEY
Constructed by the Boys Of the
Amusement Committee and
Was Fun Maker For
the Guests.

Last evening at the High school !
building the senior class of the school
had one of the best times in its his
tory. A Halloween social was the
event of the evening and everything
was in readiness for the guests when
they arrived at the building, the var
ious committees in charge working all
during the day to surprise their
| guests, the faculty and entire senior
class during the evenings entertain /
ment.
When the guests arrived at the |
school they were conducted to dark
recesses under the building where !
much to their surprise was a Giggle /
Alley, which had been constructed by
the amusement committee and was
claimed by those who know to be bet
ter than the original Giggle Alley at /
the White City in Chicago.
AS the party entered the concession
they were cautioned by the guide to
keep their hands on the wire which
followed the many and mysterious
windings and by and by they would
come out alright at the end of the
dark and fearsome place. A few steps
from the entrance one had the sensa-
ton OF walking in the air and little
farther on if the explorers to the alley
were not on the alert their feet would
be where their heads should Follow
ing the dark windings of the place
4 curious face and skeletons doomed up
and when the frightened one tried to
| turn back they found it impossible to
do SO on account of the way being lost
and nothing to guide them back to
the entrance At a certain point in
the guide wire when the party took
4 hold of it all We're very much shock
ed to find that something like an cleo
trio current had passed through them
which on being exposed proved to be
a cunningly devised shock wire which
was attached to the wire which the
party was to follow and on grasping
this they received an electric shock
Just before the party issued from the
Giggle Alley they were greeted by a
grinn:ng skeleton with flashing eyes
and wierd appearance. Much mirth
was caused by this part of the delight
full evenings program and the credit
for the work of construction is due
to Messrs WeiGman, Nelson, Reiner,
kiedaisch, Bode and Huiskamp who
formed the amusement committee of
the evening and much credit is due
these young men for the delightful
I nv re,
were entertained during the evening.
Room 2, one of the large class
rooms, was fitted up comfortably for
the guests and from chandeliers and
other handy places were suspended
grinning pumpkin face, jack-o'lan-
terms and large Jap lanterns. In the
halls and corridors Jap lanterns were
hung and the scene was very pretty.
The decorating committee was COM
posed of the following members of
the class: Ida Belle Mcclure, Helen
Meyer, Mildred Marley, Ethel Curtis
and Mary McGrath.
The program of the evening was in
charge of Norman Kiedaisch and
each member of the class responded
with some number as they were call
ed upon and a very enjoyable time
was had by ALL During the evening
the refreshment committee served a
Halloween lunch to the guests which
was composed of pumpkin pie, dough
nuts and cider The refreshment
committee was composed of the fol
lowing: Mildred Marley, Bertha Mel
son. Mabel Hedrick, Helen Meyer, Be-
atricc McManus and Ethel Curtis.

joyable evening.
