'HAN7S' IN SOCIAL
 AT NORMAL SCHOOL
Spo0kS Provide ShiYerS at An. nual Halloween Celebration

tune time for the arrival of these weird creatures from the land of the supernatural because the largest social in the history of the school was being held in celebration of the Halloween season, approximately 301 being present.
 Even the least superstitious of those in the gathering felt the ef- fleets of the ghostly arrangement of decorations and lighting effects. The costumes of the attendants resem- bled every character in the world of the story book.
 Guests would have experienced difficulty in finding their way through the darkened halls of the Normal school if it had not been for accommodating ghosts" who escort ed them through a chamber of hor- TOTS to what was once the gymna- sium of the school. The place was changed completely due to the ex- cellent decorative schemes of a corps of students.
 This was an appropriate begin hing for an evening of enjoyment. The gymnasium was decorated in orange and black. The walls and windows were covered with Hal loween paper. Black cats in weird positions, witches stopped over and other strange people were pictured on the paper.
 And Ghosts Danced.
 The entertainment was unique. The feature was the dance of the ghosts which was done by a group of students. Miss Catherine Tryon of Portland was master of cere- monies and she conducted her d,l- ties in an able manner.
 The next event on the program was probably the most colorful of the entire evening. The students, attired in their costumes including masks, formed for the grand march. They passed in review before judges who were to select the prettiest, most clever and funniest of the cos- tunes: Richard Wampler, psychol- ogy instructors; Charles Pratt, sci- ence teacher; George Howe, social studies, and Dr. William Dyer, di- rector of the training schools, were the judges.
 Sisters Win Prizes
 Inknowingly they selected two sisters as the winners of two of the prizes. It was not until they had unmasked that it was discover ed that Gcnevieve Zebrowski of Bristol won the prize for the prctti- est costume and Helen Zebrowski, her younger sister, the prize for the funniest costume. Genevieve, who is a senior, was attired as Juliet and Helen, a junior, was in the costume of fat woman. The cleverest cos tune prize was won by the nike twins, Helen Dehan and Martha klopp, both of New Britain. Their false faces were on the back of the,r heads, the one who appeared as :i she should walk forward was walk ing backward and the one who had a false face on the back of her head seemed to be walking with her heels first
 This event was a fitting climax to a week of socials held under the direction of the dean, Miss Louise Schmahl. She has been experienc ins one of her busy seasons. After completing arrangements for one event it was necessary for her to start on a second
 Dormitory Girls Social
 Tuesday night the dormitory girls held their social in celebration of the season. It was a Halloween dinner and masquerade party. The group assembled in costume and took part in the grand march before judges who awarded prizes to Miss Ruth Chittenden of Granby for the funniest costume, Miss Reta Baum O. Hartford for the cleverest and Miss Melda Rossi of Waterbury for the prettiest. Miss Chittenden was in a witch costume, Miss Baum was attired as a toreador and Miss Ross was Dutch girl.
 A spirited march followed and the girls went to the dining room of the dCrmitory, attractiVely arranged with candle lights. The table was decorated in orange and black. The hall rang with gay songs during the courses.
