though proceeds of the contest were
gratifying it had several disadvant-
ages; many children were keenly
disappointed by not winning out
those involved missed out on part
of the Halloween fun, and the
teachers bore a heavy burden in
this project.
Two floors of the High School

brief, giving most of the time for
side shows and other attractions. A
short spook play will be the starter,
followed by the Cake Walk and con-

prize to go to the two best Halo

one to a girl.
The opening event will be in the
auditorium beginning at 7:10 after
the crowd gets in. "The Ghost Fa-
mily Rehearsal" short spooky
play, will start things off. Mrs.
William Conley and Mrs. G. w.
Giles are presenting this playlet
with the following cast: Father
