THE CF,DRES 1927 4 01111111111111111114 HALLOWE'EN PARTY The annual Hallowe'en Party, which is given one year by the Y. W.C. A. and the next by the Y. M.C. A., holds the distinction of being the first event held within the walls of our newly constructed Alford Memorial Gymnasium. What a gay eve- ning it was with the witches,skeletons,pumpkins,vagabonds,animals—allstrutting around in the grand march. Many different costumes representing various wear- ing apparel of peoples in far-off lands were in the parade. Florence Hartsock and Lucille St. John, dressed as Queens of Hearts, were •awarded first prize. Willard Thuma and Martha Dean were also awarded prizes for their clever costumes, Mr. Thuma wearing the garments of a Spanish senor and Miss Dean dressed as the yellow ball of the cornfield—the pumpkin. Then came the most interesting part of the evening—the "eats." There were large hamburgers beside a mountain of salad and a pickle. Plenty of cider pre- pared us for the pumpkin pie which was almost covered with whipped cream. The girls' party this year proved to be the biggest and best of all Hallowe'en celebrations held heretofore, and it established a standard for future "Y's" to attain in giving such entertainments. —D.M.
