HALLOWEEN PARTY.

Last night at o'clock ghostly and gastly forms could be seen vending their way through the dark places in Conway. Upon approaching the home of Dr. and Mrs. H. k. Cureton, a rumbling with the moaning of long departed spirits similar to the noises heard by Rip Van Winkle the night of his spirits temporary departure. After passing the silent sentinels who presented cold wet hand our spirit was swept into the company of kin dred spirits assembled to discuss their former existence. In corner sat fate over her boiling, bubbling kettle, giving our future doom or happiness. As this was the purpose of the ghost ly assembly, the spirits departed leaving the carnal. As the lights were turned on we saw every sign of Halloween in the decoration, the black cats, bats, jacko1anrerns, corn, nuts and other fruits of the fall harvest. As the fortune which fate had told us, was not satisfying to all, more practical methods were resorted to, By three or four methods it was es- tablished beyond every reasonable doubt that some were doomed to single life, happy married life or one of quarreling and strife. In a mys- terious way partners for the dainty refreshments were selected. After which half hundred lads and lassles departed with the benediction of the spirit world.
 Prof. and Mrs. ". o. Wilson and Miss Muth assisted the hostess, Miss Willie Cureton. in the delightful en- tertainment.-Co Contributed

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES



 The following pupils are doing cadet work in the grades: Bessie Randell, Louise kincheloe, Miles Crow, Fay Teas, Floy Henry, Augusta Hal ter, Ruth Hiett, Louise Taylor, Vera 1 Cox, Lois Van Deusen and Leala Fid- dler.
 The domestic science department held the center of the stage Monday at chapel when Jack Rogers showed how not to behave at the table. Miss Becker, with the aid of Josephine Terry, Floy Henry and Bennie Glib bon, showed how one should manage his knife, spoon, napkin, etc.
 A new rule affecting the rank of pupils in class went into effect the i first of the week. Hereafter when a pupil IS absent and brings on his re turn a statement from his parents showing satisfactory reasons for said absence, he will forfeit five places for each day missed from class If he fails to bring a satisfactory state ment when he returns, he will go to the foot of the class as before. The only exception to this rule is in the case of a death in a pupils immedi- ate family. In such case, the pupil will not suffer forfeiture for absence 1 provided such absence does not ex- tend beyond the second day.
 Parents will please remember that an absence is an absence though eX- cused. We cannot change the record made by pupil; it stands as he makes it. To excuse an absence or a tardy simply means no punishment will be inflicted. The pupil must sui fer whatever loss such absences or tardy involves.
 Never before has the public school enjoyed such popularity. Pupils are pouring in every week. What to do with them is problem that taxes the ingenuity of superintendent and teachers.
 And better body of pupils we have never seen than those We have. Not a single serious case of discipline has arisen this term, and the. teachers report unusually good work. We cordially invite doubtng Thomases to visit the school and see for themselves.
 We hear whispers of forthcoming movement looking toward the organi- zation of q parent-teacher organiza- tion Let all parents unite in this movement. It would cost nothing but an hour or two a month, and the good to the school would be worth far more than the cost of time and effort. The teachers are ready and eager to co- operate.

Standard tests are being given in the grades to determine their stand ing as compared with other schools of like class. These tests are rndispen- sable in determining the relative standing of a class. They are based on systematic tests of S0,000 children of like grade in the best schools of the country, Boston. Chicago, New York, and other places, and indicate pretty accurately what amount and grade of work in given subject should be expected of a pupil in that grade. We will report results later
 New pupils this week are: Helen Ralph, Clyde Shelby, Fred Harmed, George Randell, William Ralph, Frank Wright. Floyd Bonds, Winnie Ralph, Cecil Smith The attendance stands at 676 now, or 5 more than we had a year ago this week We thought We were full then, and yet we have the same number of teachers we had then.
