TRUE BLUE 11 MASS MEETINGS During the football season mass meetings were held in the auditorium on the afternoons preceding the games. Lyle Halver- son as cheer leader, Mr. Rock, Mr. Kellerman and members of the t°am as speakers, found a responsive student body. The girls took charge of one meeting, conducting it with equal ability. Dr. H. Bleir, an alumnus, in his speech on the afternoon of the River Falls game, showed his keen interest in having the pre- sent team defeat the team from an old rival school. Mass meetings will be scheduled again with the opening of the basketball season. DEBATE The Interscholastic Debate will be held next semester, Febru- ary thirteenth.

TRUK BLUE 10 and oratorical contests given before it than to a selected few. Be- cause there can only be a limited number taking part in these contests many good speakers are prevented from being heard. Musical programs and community sings are appreciated by all of us. The English students would be permitted to display their talents by giving one or two acts of a play which they may be studying in class. Vocational talks given by prominent business men would benefit all of us in choosing our life work. In fact one might name endless ways of using this period, but what would we all appreciate most and what would be to our best advantage? Snoose and Mike, they lgok slihe A happy pair are they, They laugh and talk, joke and walk, And live life merrily, No matter the weather, they’re always together As jolly as they can be.

In Latin the other day she translated “The corpses finished the battle.” No one knew how to fix Their hair in those dips, Until one day The Dunbars came to stay And now it’s as simple as nix.

TRUE BLUE THE HALLOWE’EN PARTY The first all-school party to be held in the new high school this year was cn Halloween. The party began at eight o’clock when the pupils and faculty in weird and odd looking costumes presented their Budget Tickets at the door for admittance into the building. They were first guid- ed by goblins and then forced through the hall which was faintly lighted by jack-o-lanterns. The frolickers were conducted on their way through Hades and after passing by many horrible looking figures, they finally reached the foot of the stairs. Here they mov- ed rather slowly, as they found themselves bobbing up and down on springs. Finally one by one they passed over this and shook hands with a wierd looking figure. Such a cold, icy, slimy hand that they felt! This made everyone shiver. After this, they were admitted into the gymnasium, which was decorated for the occasion and there they received small slips. After much scrambling and questioning, partners formed in fine for a grand march which terminated in the auditorium. There everyone waited in suspense for the class stunts to be- gin. The Seniors were the first on the program, presenting a mock wedd:ng. The “Junior Juices” rendered a concert. This was follow- ed by the Sophomores playing “Blue Beard” which carried off the loving cup. The Freshmen then gave a review of “General Persh- ing’s Crack Squad.” Not to be outdone, the faculty put on a stunt which surely held the interest of the students. It was called “See Yourselves as Others See You ” Of course the students feel it was slightly exaggerated. The grade teachers then played “The Lost Chord.” After the stunts, while some groups had refreshments others danced. This first party was very successful and well attended. Many more just as good times are prophesied. “Where do bugs stay in the winter?” asked the teacher. Pupil:—“Search me.”—Ex. Miss McCarthy—“Some of the punishments inflicted in the eighteenth century were death, applying fire to the body, stretch- ing on the rack and other things.” David S.—“I think that stretching idea is a pretty good one. Don’t you? Mr. Rock—“What causes the grand canyon?” Leonard Casanova—“Too deep for me.”—Exchange.
