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.

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. The question for debate will be:“Resolved, That the Principle of the Open Shop Should be Maintained in Industry”.

Ui TRUE BLUE rganisatton STUDENT CABINET The Student Cabinet has formed in the High School for the first time this year. It was formd with the idea that a “booster” organization for school activities was needed and as such it has proved a great success. The Cabinet was responsible for the Budget Ticket which gave to each pupil an active interest in all school affairs. It en- gineered the benefit “movie” “Sauce for the Goose;” suggested and planned an evening for a vaudeville performance. The Cabinet members have taken up some of the problems of school management such as whispering and. in presenting the matter to each roll room, they have started an anti-whispering cam- paign. With their discussnion and action in this matter, we believe that a fair start toward a student government associa- tion has been made. The members of the Cabinet are: President and Vice President of each class. Senior—William Kealy, Helen Katner. Junior—Wi'.i Them, Blanche Hanson. Sophomore—Lyman Olson, Wanda Jensch. Freshman—John Helvig, Lester Jacobson. Manager of Athletics, Adolph Holden Athletic Coaches—Mr. Kellerman, Mr. Rock. Football Captain. HarHd Blier Basket Ball Captain. Stanley Beggs. President rf Glep Club, H len Katner. Faculty—Miss Johnsrn. Mr. John. The Senior class ’20 boasts of nearly twice the enrollment of the graduating class of last year. Helen Koehler, Lucille Collins, Doris Merrick and Esther Erickson are new members and it is ru- mored that Myrtle Young will return for next semester. A class meeting was called the third week in September and the following officers were elected: President. WiUiam Kealv. Vice Presidont. Helen Katner. Secretary-Treasurer. Helen Hosford. Cheer Leader. Lvle Halverson. Class Reporter, Fred Hanna. Class rings were ordered early in October and are expected to arrive soon. The class gave the annual teachers’ reception a few weeks
