19 A 6t.1114 dc HALLOWE'EN PARTY 18 FEW days previous to Hallowe'en, the college lads received an in- vitation to a party. Directions were given to mask and assemble at the College Hall at 7:30 o'clock on that eventful evening. When all the boys had arrived, they were directed to another part of town, and from thence to another place and so on, until finally they arrived at the home of Miss Alberta Creswell, one of our former C. C. instructors. Here they found a crowd of ghostly figures who,strange to say, seemed to have lost all power of speech. After trying out"who was who," the ghosts and their guests seated themselves on the floor in the large living room, which was weirdly lighted by the grate fire, while Miss Schneder told a ghost story. The story was made quite realistic when the narrator threw into the audience a clammy hand and leg, and a slimy eye. The shrieks and the cries of the listeners proved that their imaginationswere properly aroused. After unmasking, the guests visited a corn-husk booth where appropri- ate fortunes were brewed by an old witch. Later numbers were passed with which the partners for supper were to be found. When every one was seated a most delicious supper was served. Following this Dr. McChesney and Professors Sloan and Allen told some of their inimitable ghost stories. The guests departed at a late hour, voting the annual Hallowe'en party a successful affair. F.F. T. Y. M.AND Y. W.C. A. SOCIAL On Friday evening, September twenty-first, the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Association entertained the new students at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Foster in Clifton. The trip to Clifton was made in automobiles and, upon arriving, the guests were given a royal welcome. The evening was spent in "getting acquainted," and in due time dainty refreshments were served. The jolly crowd departed without seriously violating the ten o'clock rule. 67
