How would you like to meet nor
riblv painted savage, dressed III INC
garments of warfare and evidently Oh
the warpath, on a dark street III hooh
Island an hour or so after sunset! IN
actlv such an experience fell to the
lot of a certain hapless lady OF TINS
vicinity last evening at about cloCh'
when she beheld blood-thlrSty IN
dian, tomahawk and stiletto III mld-
air, advancing upon her. There was
Just one scream and the poor Vlctln'
with vague visions of Mexican ralu-
ing party at her heels, fed to cover
and summoned the protection OF the
bluecoats.
Meanwhile the red man, evidently no
less frightened than his victim, ike
wise fed in an opposite direction ana
claimed the protection of the Manual
Arts building as merely masquerader
at the second junior class party OF the
local high school this year. Police
men secured the vicinity thoroughly
| but evidently failed to take into &C
count the harmless amusement OF the
| high school class.
| This, however, was the only disturb
ance created, and the party turned out
to be veritable comedy Of errors be-
| fore its close. Principal A. J. Bur
ton and W. C. Robb, ever on the look
out for offenders from other classes
proved only too diligent and, as re-
suit, came very near to excluding fore
| IDLY two esteemed lady instructors OF
| the school, Mistakes were plentiful
and all the costumes were so well
made up that when the contest fOI
guessing the Identities of the different
revelers came about very few identl-
! fications were made. Miss Mildred
Hudson proved the best detective and
was awarded the first prize. Harry Ly'
| ford was awarded first prize among
the boys for the best costume and re
ceived as his reward a very valuable
| timekeeper of the 10-cent variety
Miss Edna Dierolf received a like prize
for the best girls costume. Mis-:
Goldie Sosna received the first prize
