1931 THE ATALANTA 1931 WEINER ROAST On September 26, after the baseball game with New Holland, an all-high school weiner roast was held at the fair grounds. It was the first social event of the year, and fully 70 of the student body was in attendance. After the eats had been devoured, a treasure hunt was staged. Roller skating closed an enjoyable evening. HALLOWE’EN PARTY On October 31 a Hallowe’en Party was held at Murphy Hall. Everybody came in full dress costume, and there was much guessing as to the identity of each person. An enjoyable evening was spent in games and dancing. HIGH SCHOOL DANCE The 28th of November was the date of another very happy social occasion. A High School dance was given at Murphy Hall, with Ramon Lucas' orchestra furnishing the music. Many took advantage of this opportunity of learning the art of dancing. At a late hour the party broke up, every one looking forward to another such happy evening. VALENTINE PARTY February 14 a Valentine Party was given by the faculty for the student body. The evening was spent playing cards, bunco and dancing. Refreshments were also served.
