We ounE TIME DANCE.

Each year members and friends of
the High School Alumni Association
realize more fully that the annual
barn dance of the association is be-
coming an important link in the
years social chain, and each succeed
ing Halloween it appears to be bet
ter ~patronized. Last nights barn
dance in Washington hall was attend
ed by a larger gathering than on any
previous similar occasion, more than
fifty couples participating.
The costumes were grotesque and
varied. Linen busters, wide-brimmed
straw hats, go-to-meeting frock coats
with silk hats and red bandanna
handkerchief were in evidence. The
ladies were charming in aprons and
Sun bonnets. With harvest products
indicative of the season the hall was
decorated. Jack-o'lanterns of grim
ming pumpkin heads, illumined with
candles, surmounted the wall jets,
and sheaves of cornstalks and hay
were piled loosely In corners out OF
the dancers way. Black and yellow
streamers were f~estooned from the
centre of the ceiling to the walls,
and on the stage more pumpkins
cleaned, shining out the names of
each individual member of the COM
mittee. In one corner a gruesome
skull, with crimson drapery, grinned
out at the dancers. Cider in small
kegs was on tap in corners of the
; hall.
At midnight refreshments were
served. C~ortelyou's four-piece or
chestra from New Brunswick furnish
ed the music. On the committee
