Spooks Hold Folly

II you were near the school house
on Wednesday, the 30th of October.
You would have seen ghosts. people
from different nations, Daniel
Boone and other historical person
ages. and masked figures of every
description going slowly up the west
fire escape into a dark building
Had YOU followed these strange
characters you would have heard
Daniel Boone speaking like Mr.
Wood does. and recognized other
teachers in costumes.
Later on. if you had cared to fol-
low these teachers, you would have
had to crawl on your hands and
knees through tunnels where ghostly
screams and laughs terrified you,
you would have had TO explore Tin
the dark parts of the school build
ing you had never heard of much
less seen. while ghosts. COLLINS, and
skeletons danced before your very
eyes
Later on you would have bobbed
for apples. and probably ended,
soaked to the waist, with an apple
m YOUR mouth. as did Mr. Robertson
and other bobbers. Then you would
have eaten pumpkin pie and whip
ped cheam. and enjoyed a cup or
more of coffee.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in playing old time games
such as musical chair. and others.
It seems the teachers had a grand
time. Don't you wish you'd been
there

Our Library
CHEST EDITORIAL.

Few schools have Libraries as con-
venient as our present one. In TACT,
not every high school has the PRIV
ilege of having a school library. we
have an interesting collection OF TIC
ton and non-fiction books as well
as many encyclopedias and other
reference books.
A library. when properly used,
gives us better understanding OF
our subjects in a more interesting
manner than we can derive from
everyday studying
We should not abuse the privileges
granted us in the use Of our library
It is not a hall of recreation al
though many of Us treat it as such.
Have you glanced through Pan
Drama. one of our new editions.
II should prove of interest to near
ly everyone. as it deals with a varl-
ETY. of subjects.
Won't you come in and really get
acquainted with us, SO you can enjoy

HobOes Convene

Last Friday the students convened
in the big gym TO enjoy the annual
Girls Club dance This year it was
in form Of Hobo party and each
student had hobo name by which
he was known throughout the ev-
ening, Some of the outstanding ho-
boes both in name and appearance
were Joe Magillicutty, Twekelberry
Tommy, and Hobo Pete.
Cornstalks, a depot, train sched-
ules, and black and orange stream
ers transformed the gym into a de
luxe jungle.
The hoboes danced mostly to the
melodious tunes of the nickelodeon
but during the evening. small or
chestra composed of Joe Maglllicutty
and Gerry Burke struck up a few
vibrant tunes.
About 1920 the hoboes took time
out to consume several jugs Of
mountain dew, and after few
more dances they made lottery de-
partures to their respective homes.

A week from tomorrow night the
Hi Jinx will be we'll under way
and some of the classes will have
won the turkey rattle and have
elected their candidate as queen OF
the Hi Jinx. Past experience has
proved that a class cannot elect a
queen or win the turkey rattle, I'M
less everyone in that class cooperates
to really work to accomplish these
things. Contests such as these tend
to really show which class has the
best spirit and cooperation. and they
help to give people a good impres-
sion of the class as whole. Why
don't you start working for your
class in every way that you can
You'll find that. besides having lots

will greatly improve the prestige
of your class.

sons caustic disapproval Of Herbert
Hoover had a good deal to do with
that.
In 1886 Johnson said nothing, Ell
Their for or against. He had soured
quite a bit on Roosevelt after his
first blush of enthusiasm. But he
was not particularly keen about ALI
M. Landon. So he just kept quiet.
DISREGARDS PARTIES
johnson has been almost as I'M
impressed by the notion of party
regularity as the late William E.
Borah, probably due to his battles
with the old Republican machine in
the days of w. Fl. Croker in Cali
fornia. In 1912, showing his dis
regard of party regularity, he was
the nominee for vice president on
the Progressive ticket with Theo-
dore Roosevelt. at which time, by
the way, Franklin Roosevelt voted
for him.
In 1916, Johnson became an abom-
nation to all regular Republicans
because SO many of them blamed
him for the defeat of Charles E.
Hughes for the presidency. This had
lots of interesting repercussions.
There is scarcely doubt that if
johnson had made few speeches
for Hughes in 1916, he would have
been nominated at some later time
for the presidency by the Republi-
can party.
In 1920, it was bitter recollection
of what had happened in 1916 that
kept johnson. from having chance
for the nomination, though he had
made much better showing than
any other Republican in the presi.
dental primaries. 1t was at that
same convention, by the way, that
he twice refused a chance which
would have made him president by
succession. He declined to run for
vice president with Philander c.
Knox, and then again with Warren
G. Harding. Both men died well
within the four years.
GLASS CAUSED ANXIETY
But Johnson was only one OF many
men who have been subject tc
much pulling and hauling to &c,
them on the stump or to keep them
J quiet this year. Outstanding in the
group was James A. Farley, the
man who organized the campaign
which nominated Roosevelt in 1882
and who ran the successful Roose.
welt campaigns of 1882 and 1896
Farley was violently against the

and the other party
tried to persuade
him to keep quiet.
The latest devel-

cision of Hiram w
Johnson to make a
radio speech against
the third term. 1t

ficials are seeking to establish a
network of New world army, navy
and air force bases strengthened
by diplomatic and military agree
ments
Such q cu-ordinated system Of air,
sea and land defenses is being dis
cussed by diplomats representing
nations on both continents. The
United States is seeking to convince
its neighbors that any agreement
would be entirely voluntary. Use OF
the bases would not affect original
sovereignty. and the whole affair
would be cooperative, rather than
one-sided.
In line With this plan, the United
States invited Latin-American col
laboration in the use Of the eight
Atlantic bases offered this country
by Great Britain.
According TO present plans, the
United States would provide the
money and, in the beginning, the
land, sea and air equipment.
Diplomats deny that any specific
bases have been mentioned in the
discussions or that negotiations have
reached any definite stage. But then,
diplomats are generally reticent to
discuss the progress of negotiations
until agreements have been con-
Guided.

Sen. Carter Glass of Virginia was

he would vote for Roosevelt. But
he explained that he felt an obliga-

cause he had been delegate to the
