Senior-Tffuttior Iftallowe’en, flatly N Friday morning, October 30, 1913, Prof. Reece called a meeting of the Junior Class and informed them that their con- duct was not to be endured, and as they were be- yond his control he would call in some one to talk to them. The Seniors, unnoticed, had come in, and Victor Manget, their president, surprised the trembling Juniors by inviting them to a mask Hallowe’en party to be held Saturday night on the Hansen lawn on South Fort Harrison Avenue. The invitation was then extended to the Faculty. From 7:30 to 8:00 o’clock the guests came, dressed in various amusing costumes, which were set off to advantage by the light from a large bon- fire and numerous Japanese lanterns. The first half hour was spent in guessing “who was who, and why.” Mr. Smith, who was not masked, was surrounded by unknown friends and tried in vain to secure some clew by which to identify them. When the bon-fire had burned to coals all gathered around to roast marsh-mallows. When the masks were removed it was found that many grave mistakes had been made in the guessing. While still around the fire the “stunt ball” was produced and the first stunt paper unrolled, called for Mr. Smith to stand on his head. This he would have done with grace and pleasure had his feet not been too heavy. Many other stunts were performed by the students. One of the most interesting of all was Mr. Reece’s story of how he fell in love with Mrs. Reece, told in his interest- ing and characteristic way. After this the jolly crowd gathered around a large tub and “bobbed for apples.” Then all went to “Madam Rice’s” fortune tent and listened to many queer fates. While the guests were discussing their fortunes and misfortunes, refreshments, consisting of punch and cake, were served to them by the Junior girls. Instead of dispersing immediately, under the able leadership of Sergeant Smith and his aid-de- camp, “Peanut,” the company marched down Fort Harrison Ave. and thru Harbor Oaks to see that various members of the company arrived safely home. —HELEN CHASE, ’16.
