YAK 6rove SIFlS EnIortaIn
The Halloween party on Saturday
evening was the first social affair
since Oak Grove opened as girls
school, at which young men were en-
tertained and this fact added touch
of romance and interest which can
be known only in girls boarding
school. The majority of the young
men were from Hebron Academy and
Colby college, some being brothers
and others being "brother's friends"
The party was given by the girls Of
the Junior class. With the strenu-
Gus preparation for mid-term exams.
CT the preceding week, nothing was
done until Monday Of last week

a creditable performance in their
presentation Of the amusing farce "a
Box Of Monkeys" The natural dra-
matte talent of the cast which en-
abied the girls to learn and stage an
came to the rescue in the way they
handled the situation when part of
thes cenery collapsed. In fact, the
PSEUDO butler rearranged the stage
with so much calmness that many in
the audience thought the accident
part Of the play. After the enter
tainment, marches and Halloween
games were enjoyed, The gymnasium
was gaily decorated with siihouettes
of witches, owls, cats and Halloween
symbols. while long orange and black
streamers made a brilliant canopy
over the entirer DOM. The favors for
the first mach were fancy hats.
Many gay balloons brought fun dur
ing another march, while fancy POM
poms added color and jollity to a
third. Refreshments of harlequin
ice cream and fancy nabiscos were
served. During the good night march
a quantity of favors were thrown
down upon the merry-makers from
the balcony. The whole party was
characterized by the simplicity and
youthful enthusiasm that belong to
| a panty given by young girls of
boat ding school age and was declared
| a complete success. Much credit is
| due Miss McCurdy the class teacher
who coached the play.
