High School Senior Glass
Enjoys Dance in "Gym. u

The delayed Halloween Dance
given Friday night under the aus
pices of the senior class of the high
school proved to be successful af-
Ialr. The attendance was large, the
games and dance enjoyed by all
The new gymnasium was the scene
e1tssS event and was transformed into
a gaily trimmed ballroom, it being
attractively decorated in the class
coiors of orange and black. Stream
erS were interviewer in between the
railing that surrounds the gym" and
In the center of the room they were
strung from the ceiling to the floor in
shape of a balloon. The atmosphere
was scented with the aroma of au-
tumn leaves and corn shocks, gath
cred from the nearby Ieafy country.
They were placed haphazardly in the
corners and hooks of the ballroom,
rendering a pic sing effect. The deco
rattons were in keeping with the spirit
Of the evening.
Too much credit cannot be given
to the various committees that in
sured the fine success of the affair.
The refreshment committee, Miss T.
Emmons. chairman: Miss d. Hadden,
Miss M. Ludwig and Miss A. Jensen;
decoration committee, L. Schwartz,
chairman; w. Wilentz, and Miss E.
Jacobsen; music committee, A Bit
ting, chairman; William Lear; enter
tainment committee, Miss s. Jones,
chairman; Miss E. Roessler.
AS each member of the class en-
tered they were greeted by the re-
ception committee and a mysterious
little slip of paper was pinned to his
back. When all was completed, the
committee explained their strange ac-
tions 1t appeared that each one was
carrying the name of some great man
fastened to her or his shoulders and
that 1t must be left SO until his name
was guessed by the wearer. A con-
versationa1 parade then ensued.
Among the foolish questions asked,
each trying to gain an inkling as to
the name of the honored man they
were trudging around with were, Am
dead?" what nationality am I?'
'Am 1 a soldier?" Am I an impor-
tant personage?" etc.
Before this fun was hardly finished
the old joy making game of Fortune
Telling" was under way. Some of
the answers came close to home"
but. the greater number hit afar,
causing much laughter and mirth.
Promptly at 8 o'clock to the strains
of Sol Kaufman's orchestra, the
night festivities were started. The
melodious and entrancing airs and
tunes played enticed many of the stu
dents and chaperons into the CLASSY
floor
About 1890 o'clock the dancing
AID games were halted and a real de-
hghtful surprise was given the gath
ering. Delicious doughnuts, that were
the home product of the domestic sci
ence class, were served by some of the
girls. Sweet cider and apples were
also passed about
