LOCALS. I he custom of having each class in turn entertain the rest of the school has been instituted this year. and. in accordance with this idea, the gay young Sophomores” helped us to have a most enjoyable time All Hallows Kve. By eight o’clock an expectant audience had assembled, and presently a gipsy band danced out to the accompaniment of a weird march, which they played on Zoboes, and took their places in the orchestra pit. Then the curtain went up on ‘‘ ' I ' he Modern and Mediaeval Drama of Mary Jane and Benjamin.” This was a shadow plav. setting forth most touchingly the courtship of the said Benjamin and Man- Jane. Between the acts the gipsy band rendered appropriate selections with line effect, concluding with the Wedding March from Lohengrin, as the drama came to a satisfactory close with the marriage of the much-endear- ing lovers. After this happy ending, the guests were ushered out to the Gymnasium, which had been simply but effectively decorated with great bunches of ferns and Oregon grape and vines of various sorts. At the far end of the hall a Jack-oTantern mounted guard over table, decorated in orange and dark green, and loaded with good things to eat! Among the greens in various parts of the room other Jack-o’-lanterns grinned down on the f( stivities. After a few moments spent in admiring these decorations, the guests joined in peanut races and the other diver- sions sacred to Hallowe’en. Following these came a grand march, led by the orchestra; then refreshments were served by the Sophomores, ap- ples. cider and peanuts being served on dustpans, and doughnuts on witches’ sticks.

Miss C riswell (a teacher!)- “I like boys between the ages of seven- teen and nineteen.” (She must have rather young aspirations. ) Katherine Norman (handing Miss Jones a pin)— “Here, please button my waist up.” Say, girls, do you know there is the nicest place to sleep in the library ? Too bad we did not find it before. The two girls who made the dimovory seemed to be kind of stingy about it. At least they tried awfully hard to keep it from the other girls. If it hadn ' t been for some kind teachers, who happened along and discovered them partaking of their newlv-found pleasure, we should never have known anything about it. I’ll wager. I wish to say to the two girls— you of the light hair and you of the dark- after this do not be so greedy with your discoveries, because it’s of no use whatever. You will be sure to be found out sooner or later. Margaret Becher — ‘ Leehigh — let ho- lee high — lee low!! Oh! by the way. what does that sound like?” i
