Kansas rivers raged along at flood stage, causing considerable dam- age and furnishing the Incorrigibles with new excuses for cutting classes. . . . October 31 is the memorable date of the Hallowe ' en party and box-supper. . . . Faculty and students alike masked and gathered at Memorial Hall for the first party ever held there. . . . Remem- ber the grand march and the folk games? . . . Bartel ' s clowning and the cider? . . . Doc Doell was auctioneer at the old- fashioned box-supper that followed. . . .

The evening was made complete with the first snow of the season. . . . Hallowe ' en provided the occasion for the first testing of the authority of the Men ' s Governing Council. ...

Kauffman presiding. . . . The wind-in-the-pines ef- fect after the banquet was caused by sighs from the student council. ... The groans were from the dishwashers. . . .
