As has been true in the past, the lowly frosh were initiated in no uncertain manner. The I’reshmen, together with the new teachers, pr esented a very amusing burlesque of the queen coronation ceremonies of the Madera County Fair. Miss Denn, the new music teacher, reigned supreme as the fair Queen Annabell. Her subordinates were the incoming students. Fol- lowing the ceremony of coronation, Louis Nouque, the Student Body | resident, administered an oath of allegiance. The decoration committee, under the direction of Miss Josephson, turned the gymnasium into an open air garden in appearance. A false ceiling was made of strips of crepe paper to represent the sky with gilt stars shining through. The walls were banked with greenery and the entire effect was quite original and charming.

The music for the evening was furnished by a Fresno orchestra and, needless to say, dancing helped to make the party enjoyable to the very end. The freshman reception is one of the three occasions of the year at which time former students of the high school are made welcome. Grrts’ Hi Jinx On the evening of Friday, October 18, the Girls’ League held its annual hi-jinx in the form of a Halloween masquerade party. All who attended were required to come in fancy dress. In the grand march Margaret Chamberlin won the prize for the most attractive costume, wearing a very novel orange costume with black trimmings, while Lois Harder won the prize for originality. Lois’ costume was indeed spooky to look at, as it was black with white skeleton bones mounted upon it. The decorations featured the Halloween colors, which helped all present to get into the spirit of the evening. ‘Ihe entertainment committee had numerous games prepared and a most enjoyable pro- gram, which consisted of: A dance by Betty Palmer; a skit, “The Opening of a Gym Class,” by the Girls’ League Council; a collegiate stunt under the direction of Mary Van Curen; and ghost stories by K. M. Barager. Refreshments of pumpkin pie and chocolate brought a most en- joyable evening to a close. Girts’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PARTY October 25th will stand out as an important date in the social calendar of the school year because of the delightful dance which was the start off of the school parties. ‘This first dance was sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Association. It was most enjoyable because of the Halloween spirit which prevailed. The decorations were of orange and black, and witches, cats, and bats were silhouetted all over the walls. The music for the dancing was furnished by Percy Bost’s peppy orchestra of Fresno, The committee largely responsible for the success of the evening was Doris Thede, Mary Van Curen, Leah Desmond, Aileen Butler, Isabelle Boyle, and Anna Merle Burns. FoorTnaLL, DANCK The football dance, which followed the second Madera-Merced football game, was given by the Scholarship Society. The honored guests of the affair were the members of the Merced football team. Black and orange were the two colors with which the cafeteria
