evening. The school room was
prettiiy decorated with Jack 0 Ian
terms and strcamers of orange and
black, and an impromptu stage had

and masked, were ready for the fun.
The entertainment opened with q
snappy song and the school cheer,
followed by ghost story, told in
1nournful tones, which had an I'M

several songs and recitations, an old
time clog dance was given by Her.
bert Stevens, Sr. This brought forth
hearty applause and calls for encores.
More songs and Rotations followed,
which Kept everyone laughing and
in exceedingly good humor.
After the entertainment witch
burst in the door and was escorted
to her nest and everyNne crowed to
have their fortunes told. Not in the
least to be mentioned was the

stunts. games and dancing, with
music furnished by Victrola. At
late hour the crowd broke up, all de-
claring it to be fine time and prais-
