Enjoyable Hallowe'en Party
Misses Lurline Brown, Edna Hollenbeck and Frank Harris Davis were hostesses to the High School students last Friday evening at the assembly room in the school building. A Hallowe'en motif was developed in the uniquely appointed affair, witches, owls, black cats and jack o' lanterns abounding. Corn stalks and bright yellow pumpkins banked the stairways and were effectively employed in the assembly hall.
The guests arrived clad as ghosts and were received by witches. After several stunts had been indulged in, a grand march was announced at the conclusion of which masks and phantom attire were removed, the hostesses appearing in becoming and clever costumes of black crinoline elaborated with bright yellow medallions appropriate to the Hallowe'en season.
Games, shadow pictures, and the toasting of marshmallows in an unusual manner occupied several merry hours, after which pumpkin pie and cider were served by the hostesses. The young people were unanimous in declaring the party peculiar unto itself and a very entertaining event.
