o FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH HiC chairiiian of the nasquoradc conmit tee spread out her short swine skirt and sat dovm at the lone oak table, When she had received the attention of the assembled coLuiittee members, she announced v;ith e sve dienity that they wore eathorod to complete plans for the annual masquerade to bo held by the Tonto Cavern Hlyh School. Her announcement was mot with much enthusiasm by the assembly. Tonto Cavern Hiyh was an up-to-date school in an up-to- date Western town of Southern Texas, Durinj the last fifteen years Tonto Cavern had changed from a tiny cattle town to a thrivin ' stock center, thus losing much of its story-book charm of cov boys and rustlers. Has anyone any sur cstion, the chairman asked, as to vdioro vire shall held our masquerade this year? There v;as a scrapinr of foot along the highly polished maple floor, and one young lady arose. She was not beautiful, her silky brov;n skin merely looked as if she had enjoyed the great out-of-doors and robust health, Sho hold her smooth black head proudly erect on shoulders broad and strong. Sho loved life v rith all her might, Eadam Chairman, I have a suggestion to make, sho said, and all oyos turned instantly in the direction of the junior class advisor. When the chairman had given Miss Colt permission to speak, sho plunged headlong into her nows. Her sheer enthusiasm for the beautiful old Colt ranchco did much to convince the crowd that Mr. Colt’s kindness in offering the house for an old fashioned cowboy dance would solve their problem. The picturesque location of the cool, pine log house nestled in a valley whore now green grass and sprouting flowers popped out from everywhere was superb. The house looked out upon crystal snowcapped heads of rugged Mexican I ' .iountains, so near and yet so far, appealing magically to the romantic young hearts. And the glimmering moon which v;as scheduled for that night was fondly visualized by many young hearts as it fell in ghost-like stillness on a vino-covored piazza. Silver and goldon forms could likewise be seen floating lazily about in perfect rhythm v;ith the soft flowing melodies of old Spain and Mexico.
