18th grades at Cinderella House, 9Th
and 9Th grades at Riverside Cottage
and finally 7th grade through high
school at our dance hall in the gym.
1t was our own boys and girls who
readied these party spots for our
guests to say that each loca-
ton fairly shone! The Rainbow Girls
brought cookies, ice cream and pop
for all. Each girl baked a batch of
cookies to bring. Since the girls
visit, the letter have been flying
thick and fast between Twin Bridges
and Anaconda. Several youngsters
have been invited to homes there for
Thanksgiving or Christmas vacations.
We will see that all visits are allowed
if at all possible.
One of the first enactments of the
Student Council was to hold con-
test to name our dance hall. The win
ming name was "Blue Horizon"-a
little sophisticated but nice. I might
explain our room is painted in the
school (State) colors-3 walls bright
yellow (gold) and 1 wall royal blue.
On Halloween Day three of our
oldest All Club girls attended the
district luncheon and afternoon meet
ing in Whitehall. Three girls were
presented with their "7-year" rings
very nice, too. They also brought
back certificates and pins for our
other All members of lesser service.
Halloween night was a large even
i -
7th grade had their party in the chill
dren's dining room Immediately fol-
lowing supper. We have an attic
costume room with more than enough
costumes for all our boys and girls
SO each one took advantage of it. A
Student Council Committee saw to
the distribution and return of all
costumes-(with the help of a few
grown-upsD The party was success
what with relays, races, musical
games, a genuine Swami, prizes for
best costumes and FOOD. All par
ties had the same menu, the "Nur-
serys" getting first treat in the af-
ternoon . pumpkin-faced cookies,
assorted candies in black paper
baskets, an apple, orange Kool-aid
and lemonade mixed
The Alderite Trio again furnished
the music for our dance. The cos
tunes were really very good. We had
buns, gangsters, witches, mummies,
majorettes, South Sea Islanders and
even Salome! The boy who won was
dressed as woman, and girls first
prize went to "Poky- hanut-us ''-ev-
cry detail was perfect = all white
dress, headdress and mocassins, and
red water color on face, arms and
legs-O didn't see the bathtub af-
The highlights of the even
ing were the arrivals of several of
our employees in costume complete
y unacceptable The kids were de-
lighted, of course, they love for
to get down to their
speed" as you know, and we are
grateful to these good sports for their
contributions. Oh, yes, our dances end
ike others = each boy walks his
girl home and everybody's happy!
Thursday, November 9Th, was
Crippled Children's Clinic Day in
Butte for Madison county. We took
wo of our boys, ages and A. They
we're both pronounced all right =
othing. seriously wrong-and we're
lad of that, Johnny has a habit of
Walking with his head on the side
nd Jeffry walks with rolling gait.
Dr.. Seidensticker wanted Johnny to
o in and we wanted Jeffry checked
o we feel easier about them.
The high school Sadie Hawkins
ance was held Friday night, No
ember 18th, with our boys and
iris in full force Most of our boys
nd girls went with town youngsters
nd we think it's fine We gave them
5 minutes after the dance broke
p as curfew time The dance was
YER at 1880. The last straggler was
| by 1850. We thought that was
GOD for this day and age. Incl
entally, that straggler is filled with
enuine remorse for being Is min
;es late. These kids are wonderful
Everyone o o k forward to
thanksgiving and we were busy
adying the all important menu. It
as really professional!
