The Halloween party given by the
students of the Aberdeen High

success. The pupils assembled in
fancy costume at O'Clock for the
grand march. Frances Eubanks res

first prize for the prettiest costume
of the girls. w o. Anderson. dress
ed as an old farmer, took the boys
prize. Then we tabled for apples
and had our fortunes told. Last
came the feature of the night-all
the grades from the freshmen to the
seniors had a stunt" prepared.
The freshmen had a mock circus
that took the house. the center of
attention was G. G. Ray. The soph-
mOres gave an athletic wedding,
with Ruth West as the bride, and
Charles Peugh as the groom. Next
the juniors presented family group
of twenty at the photographers Of
flee. Last the seniors came before
the audience in review as they would
be fifteen years from now. After
long discussion the judges decided in
favor of the freshmen who were
given boxes of ginger cakes. After
being served to ice cream cones and
other favors. the party reluctantly
disbanded, saying that this was the
best Halloween party the school
had ever given.
The high school wishes to call the
attention of the public to the fact
that Nov. 6 to II is Better English
Week. Programs stressing this
movement will be held at the school
by the students. They realize, how
ever. that cooperation from the
homes and public must be secured.
Consequently they give the public
