INTONIA SOPHOMORE HALLOWE'EN PARTY To the Sophomores goes the honor of being the first class to have a party this year, which was in the form of a Hallowe'en party and was held October 21 in the “gym,” under the supervision of Miss Marshall. About sixty were present and there were said to be fifteen looking in through the windows. Games were played, and from the shrieks one would think someone was being initiated, but it was only Merle Edminston's “dead man” being passed around. The prizes for the best costumes went to Naomi Gardner and Nevida Miller. And Don’t forget Miss Lape, who was so cleverly dressed that no one recognized her. Punch and cookies were served, after which everyone departed, proclaiming the first party of the class of '32 a huge success. THE FRESHMEN CHRISTMAS PARTY The most successful party of the season, according to Mr. Robb, was the Freshmen Christmas party which was held on December 17 in the gymnasium. Christmas games were played and fortunes were told by means of fortune telling bells. One of the Christmas games was played by having each person ask someone a question and that question had to be answered with a word beginning with the first letter of Merry or the first letter of Christmas. Each of the guests brough a gift and these gifts were distributed by a Santa Claus. Then came the most important part—refreshments, which were hot pudding, cocoa, and Christmas candy. The party adjourned, and it was agreed by all that the party had been a success. CLASSICAL CLUB The Classical Club had a program at each of its meetings. When a new word came up in the lesson a talk was given at the next meeting about that word. The club met the first and third Tuesdays of the month. The members of the council for the second semester were Guinevere Reed and Raymond Brown. NIMBLE FINGERS HOBO PARTY The Nimble Fingers Club had a hobo party on January 24, and from all reports everyone had a good time. Members of the faculty who attended were Miss Lape, Mrs. Scott, Miss Marshall, Miss Ross, and Miss Wynd. And I hear that Miss Marshall is quite an acrobat. Advertisements taken from papers were pinned on the walls and the object was to guess what company’s advertisement it was. Lotto was played with coni. The refreshments were hot dogs and apples tied in a blue handkerchief to a stick and cocoa was served to the “bums” at the back door. The party broke up at ten and the weary hobos went away and sought a place to sleep. Twenty-Eight
