Halloween night.
That the teacher at Parkview,
Miss Mabel Thomas. and her kid
dies lacked nothing in The way Of
imagination was obvious, when an
unusupecting nervous wight ven
tured into the gloom Of the school
vestibule.
From the darkest corner a crea-
ture of the kingdom Of Hobgoblins
advanced on him. it's passage was
silent and quick. Before the in
stinct for flight could be translat-
ed into action sinister looking
claw was extended.
With feeling of relief the shiv-
ering visitor saw that the spook
was in friendly vein. Difndently
shaking hand went out to meet
the claw Of the goblin. The claw
was clammy with the mists Of
ghost land, but it ushered the sa-
cred one into the better regions
Of the world where witches race on
brooms, black cats talk in Tophet
| language, COLLINS, fairies, pixies
and leprechauns hold high revel.
By the magic wand of the good
Dame Imagination, who is not a.
bove using material earth things
| for her enchantments. the children
OF The Parkview School were
Transformed into weird and won
derful folk from the realms that
commune with earth only on Hal
! lowe'en.
Lucille Langdon was spine
creeping witch. Her familiar, the
famous Black Cat, was in another
world Murrel schoephoester.
The merry fellow, who loves to
dance over the marshes at night,
and who chooses as his medium
the mighty pumpkin, had somehow
inveigled wee Harold Martin to
portray him.
Fearsome as the goblin was on
Halloween he developed into a
popular little boy in the rude
lights of everyday life. Melvin
Marquardt was the goblin.
Wise, o wise, was the owl. To
him the secrets of COLLINS were
an open book. Only at nights will
Inc divulge any of his knowledge
and this particlar owl only on Hal
lowe'en. Robert Langdon, as the
owl, looked soIemnIy out on the
ghostly scene.
And gliding hither and thither
was a sheeted ghost. The wrath
was lady, but apart from her hair
raising sport with the goblin, the
Black Cat, the witch, the owl and
Jack O. Lantern, she did not state
why she still fitted over the earth
in great unrest. Anna HAITI was
the Halloween ghost
For a space the enchanted aud
fence were allowed to come back
to earth and make their wills.
Forthwith the people OF Goblin
Land made sport for them.
The chairman, Frederic. Baertsch
not only carried out his duties
with adult aplomb, but gave an or
alton on the Origin Of Halloween.
Seem Things" by Robert Lang
don caused the audience to SILVER
delightfully."- once more.
Anna HAITI told of the delights of
October, it being mutually under
stood that said gentleman must
have developed a liver or some
thing this year.
That Jack Frost is a master at
painting, and delicate artistry Of
all kinds was explained by Harold
Martin. Truly Jack is a wonder
full fellow.
No need to worry over something
good from the Black Cat. Murrel
schoephoester gave, 'October's
Party
According to the witch the nuts
on the trees converse. She illus
trated by dialogues between the
chestnut, the hickory nut, and 9TH
ers Of the ilk- Lucille Langdon al

Of all people-the Goblin in

Arnold Marquardt gave a few
pointers on Halloween pranks. We

Suddenly the grown ups we're
switched back to the realms Of the
witch and her friends.
The witch, her familiar, the COB
lin, the owl, and Jack o. Lantern,
the ghost and the Player of Franks
showed that even in their enchant

worries.
The grown ups were taken. af-
