TEACHERS’ EXAMINATIONS The State Teachers' Exams were held at the court house on Nov. 7 and 8. The number taking them was rather small, only being about 26. Those present from Paxton were Carrie Bowen, Lillian Kroon, Ruth Horner, Dorothy Anderson, Bercille Burkard, Mrs. Chas. Brown, Mrs. Erickson, and Sidney Johnson. Several went with the intention of writing everything they knew, but much to their regret they were asked to write upon things they didn't know—therefore they still have some knowledge left. After reading the questions, many got cold feet and didn't write upon certain subjects but some stuck to it until the end, writing on all eleven. As a conclusion, one is sure that all those who are lucky enough to pass are fully capable of being teachers as far as gray matter is concerned, as it was a hard review and one had to dig around the corners for material that had not been used for years. A HALLOWE’EN PARTY On Tuesday evening, October 28, 1924, Misses Helen Newman, Dorothy, and Grace Darling delightfully entertained a group of their friends CORNER at the home of the latter on West Patton street. The occasion of the evening was a masquerade. Many queer and odd-looking costumes were displayed. The first feature was a large Detour which lead the guests in a round about way and up two or three flights of stairs. Fortunes and readings were given by Miss Cool of Chicago. Many other comical acts were enjoyed. The entire house was beautifully decorated with orange and black. Dancing was enjoyed the remaining part of the evening. A contest was given for the most graceful couple. Those winning the prize were Mildred Allen and Donald McKnight. Delicious refreshments were served and everyone enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Those present were Pauline and Marguerite Corbly, Frances Wylie, Dorothy Hill, Mabel Dunnan, Dorothy Anderson, Mildred Allen, Mildred Pierce, Dora Ireland, Emily Johnson, Frances Anderson, Ver-nette Larson. Ruth Hoskinson, Pauline Holley, Susanna Beagle, Mildred Bess, Eva Mull, and Otis Mc-Quiston, Howard Benjamin, Elmer Corbly, Arnold Carlsten, Harold Belton, Marvin McHaley, Charles Greenan, Eugene Martin, John Can-ney, Harld Parsons, Gordon Johnson, Lyndall Holley, Donald McKnight, and Walter Nordgren, all from Paxton; also Charles Lowry and Frank Hunt, of Gibson City, and John Spencer and Leo Coke, from the U. of I.
