IIIK K CRESCENT WHAT’S IN A NAME? Seniors. Just what does that word mean to you ? Does it mean merely the position of being the highest in the rank and file of Elwood High School, or does it mean something more loyal, more true, and more expressive to you? To all of us the word Senior” should signify dignity, nobleness, and excellence in our character, which inspires or commands others to respect us. We should consider and look upon this title with appreciation and admiration. It is a title which marks us with faithfulness, having fulfilled our duty to deserve such merit; which marks us as holding high rank, as we are now the elder and more educated students of E. H. S.; which marks us with a loftiness of style and manner; and lastly, which marks us as true and devoted students of our Alma Mater. We, who are Seniors, should strive earnestly to fulfill our duty and live up to this name. We should set good examples to the underclassmen, and prove ourselves worthy of such a respectful title. Several of the members of the 4B Class got together in the gymnasium on Tuesday evening, October 24, for a Hallowe'en Party. Miss McDermitt and Miss Nutt acted as chaperons. During the evening bunco was enjoyed and the prize for high score was won by Miss McDermitt; low score, Ruth Bolinger. Arvona Dowell won the prize for guessing the closest number of jelly beans in a jar. After the bean guessing contest, each person was given five beans, and told to get as many beans from the others by making them say yes,” or no.” Well, this didn’t last long because almost everyone ate his. Miss Nutt held out pretty well, but you should have seen her hands at the close of the evening. Dart throwing and radio music were enjoyed. And oh, yes—some even tried making baskets with the basketball. You no doubt have found out by now that Dottie DeHority is a pretty good shot. Refreshments were then served, but no one seemed to mind this. At 9:30 everyone helped to straighten up the gymnasium and lights were extinguished. Everyone was out by that time, however. Bidding our chaperons goodnight, everyone departed declaring an enjoyable evening. (We almost didn't recover from the hilarious excitement of that evening. Such whooping it up” you never saw.) r p HALLOWE’EN PARTY Nineteen
