The most delightful social event
of the season was the Halloween
party given by the Hi-Y girls, Satur-
day evening, October 2Sth. The
/ Administration Building was decorat
edfn ideal Halloween style. Guests
were met at the door by ghosts and
conducted through the Spooky Room
where the Devil and q Witch, with
pitch h-fork and broom, commanded
them to shake hands with the dead
man. view the dead woman and
Bluebeards wives, feel the cl0tted
blood. creepy worms. etc. Next the
guests were conducted up the STAIR
ways, dimly lighted by smiling Jack
o-lanterns, to have the Witch reveal
confessions. While games were in
/ progress the curious stole into the
/ Gipsy'S tent for peep into the
future and We're much enlightened !;
some bobbed for apples: others par
! ticipated in contests. Refreshments
We're served in the form of 'Brom-
i bones and Blood" after which the
J, Witch announced that since Hal
1 lOwe'en Spirits and SpOoks were
abroad, boys and girls should hurry
to their dormitories lest they be
! victims.
