The P. T. A. meeting at the Will
Evansville school proved to be sue
cess. The rooms were decorated
with the colors of Halloween. All OF
the refreshments were very tasty and
because of this there weren't any
left. The school house was crowded
and many of the people having no
place to sit, stood. There were two
guess cakes, but no one guessed what
was in either of them, so they were
auctioned off. 1t was surely shame
that no one guessed the article IN
either cake. In one of the cakes
there was an ear ring; in the other
a tooth pick. There was ais bottle
filled with corn, the person who
guessed nearest the correct number
of grains contained in the bottle won
a box of candy. This person was
Mrs. Clara Bennett. A number OF the
girls sold their shadows. The young
men who bought the shadows had
the honor of eating ice cream with
the girl whose shadow they bought.
There was also a witches pot where
fortunes we're told. The witch was
dressed in the usual witches mask.
The teachers wish to heartily thank
those patrons who donated refresh
ments for the P. T. A. They also
wish TO thank those who helped in
many other ways.
