jeweled on all sides by the glories of.
October and the trees are painted
with a colorful charm that no artists
brush can initiate, who would resist
the spirit that finds its delight in
remping through tho woods and
meadows and along the waters edge?
Even the student who for two quick
ly- passing months has slipped from
the books of knowledge catches this
spirit and longsto put aside the books
of science, just for anon, and to be
free to look into the pages Of the
wondrous book of Nature.
The "Moon of the Falling Leaves"
always brings with it a number of in
teresting outdoor events at Arcadia
College. Such an event was a visit
to Mount Heunessy some days ago,
when the new pupils were guests of
the "old girls" at an old time weiner
roast and marshmallow toast. The
afternoon was ideal for just such a
party. The clear sky and the crisp
October air made the romp agree
able and interesting.
On October twenty-first, Patroness
Day, one of the most popular of the
years. hikes vas enjoyed. A visit to
the giant Shepherd Mountain, with
the interest that always eenters
around the Goulding Castle and the
famous cave on the mountain side,
is spoken of weeks in advance and a
pupil who for some unforeseen cir
cumstance is deprived of the pleasure
of this outing is considered un-
fortunate indeed. There is a depth
of grateful feeling in the heart CT
every Arcadia girl for the kindness
always shown by the Valley Folks,
and none greater than that which
they hold for the kindly people who
inhabit the hallowed spots on the
Shepherd of the Hills. Many a school
girl tale of ghost and goblin finds its
origin amid the rocks and caves of
these hills, and many a page in the
Memory Books is devoted to a de-
velopment of such tales, and who
knows but what some Irving mind
may here be hid that some day may
WELD an Irving pen to make these
glorious scenes of student days as i'm
perishable as the hills themselves.
The witches and ghosts presented
in a Halloween Program on Sunday
afternoon, October thirtieth, were
more realistic and more welcomed
than any that might chance to walk
about the neighborhood. The pro-
gram was given in honor of the
Senior Glass. 1t was exciting in the
extreme and being the composition of
the little girls, deserved the continu-
GUS applause that filled the gaily
decorated hall.
The Halloween Party held on Mon
day night took the form of a masked
ball. The success of the Party was
more than ordinary. Each partici-
pant enjoyed the evenings program
and at the same time learned not a
little of the name and nature of the
flowers and shrubs that bloom in the
College gardens. The costumes repre-
scented these various flowers. The
ladies were to be called only by their
flower names This, no doubt, took
a great deal of work and planning, but
it was the new-pupils' way of repay
ing the sold girls" for their splendid
entertainment on Mount Hennessy.
Miss Chrysanthemum won the prize
for being the most natural and beauti-
full of the many flowers, and the prize
for knowing the names of the most
flowers represented was won by
Miss Kathleen Harris. The College
Orchestra furnished the music for
the Flower Dance. There were sever
al intermissions; the first, to witness
a one-act comedy composed by Miss
Agnes Mackey, the other to enjoy a
toothonna Hallowofan Tupnhaon pra.
pared by the Junior Cooking Class.
