RAREBITS 33 SOC I AL 'Helllumifrn 'Twas the night before Hallowe'en and what do you think? Yes, the Burlington High was revelling in its annual Hallowe'en Masquerade. It was a strangely transformed school owing to the artistic abilities of the decoration committee. The commit- tee certainly excelled itself in the as- sembly hall. Here the proverbial black and orange were used in decid- edly new waysg' here, too, hissing black cats and wise old owls kept se- cret trysts. At the back of the hall a gigantic witch, decidedly ferocious in appearance, remained flattened against the wall in spellbound admi- ration at our fun. Keeping her com- pany was the light house miraculous- ly turned into a bower of beauty by autumn leaves. Hidden beneath this beauty was the power to send the bal- loons drifting down to their eager destroyers and to make these eager destroyers hide behind their partners for protection against the persistent beam of light, which singled them out again and again in the darkness of the hall. You who were thus hon- oured will remember. When the auditorium was filled to capacity with eager students and more sedate parents, the curtains drew back, revealing a group of rev- ellers before a fire, In the cozy half- light they sang song after song, some new, some old. Then individuals stepped forth, we heard a new Or- phan Annie,' 'and we saw a tap dance which lightened our hearts. The illllzwquvrahv group sang again, and then came a quaint verse and a selection on the Spanish guitar, Gradually the group drifted away and six lively pumpkins hopped on to the scene, danced, and hopped off again. At once the witches from Macbeth appeared, chanting awful spells about the fire, and do you remember the flashes of lightning and the rumbles and roars of thun- der? Suddenly the witches fled shrieking before two gliding skele- tons who danced wildly about the lire. The curtain finally hid the varied pro- gramme from our eyes. Next came the Grand March. Oh! what a time the judges, Mrs. Free- man, Mrs, Smith, Mrs. Templin and Mr. Harris had! People of all nation- alities, and even animals, milled be- fore their eyes. There was a crowd of handsome gigolos to distract the ladies and a bevy of old-fashioned girls to set the men a-dreaming. Fin- ally the judges reached their decis- ions, which were as follows: Best dressed ladies-Annie Smith, as a Spanish senoritag Jean Hyslop, as 3 pirate. Best dressed gentlemen - Osler Lockhart, as a devil, Bill Hopkins, as an Indian. Best couple - Margaret McCutch- eon and Kathleen Coleman as skele- tons: Alice Eaton and Ida West as gypsies. Best comic couple-Lib Coleman, as a negressg Helen Appleford as a Bowery girl.

34 RARE Best representation-Pete Minnes as a jail birdg Gordon Wray as Uncle Sam. The rest is a story often told, there were romping fox trots and dreamy BITS Waltzes played by the Rostrons' Merry Boysg there were fortunes told in dark corners, and last, but not least, there was pumpkin pie and cof- fee in the upper hall. Kathleen Coleman, IV. AI Bump By ANNIE SMITH, IV The most outstanding social event of the school year is, of course, the annual At Home. On this occasion the students welcome back the ex- students and teachers, making our At Home a happy reunion. Our dance, under the auspices of the Literary Society, was held in the auditorium on Friday evening, Feb- ruary 26, 1932. About two hundred were present, including students, teachers and ex-students. The pat- ronesses were Mrs. A. C. Burnet and Mrs, I, J. Heldman, A reception com- mittee received the guests at the door of the auditorium, and this served to make every one at home. Glu an Artist PEGGY DEWHURST, IIIA An artist is one who paints With his soul-just as well as his hands, Some failures-and no complaints- Make success quite as golden as sands. But sand is not solid ground, And the soul must do duty for earth, So, work with the soul profound- And the end will be all that it's worth, :if Ili Great men should think of oppor- tunity and not of time. 21 212 Pl: Jerry King was teaching Bruce Col- ton to play golf. King-A stymie! A dead stymie! Colton-I thought I smelt some- thing funny. The Assembly Hall was beautifully decorated in delicate shades of mauve, pink, green and yellow. Spot lights were turned on the dancers from time to time, adding a pleasing variety of colour to the gay scene. Phil Gage's Orchestra furnished de- lightful dance music from nine until one o'c1ock. During the evening a great deal of merriment was caused when rainbow-hued balloons floated down on the crowd. Delectable re- freshments were served during two intermissions. The various commmittees in charge of the At Home are to be congratu- lated for their efficient management of the most successful social event of the year.

We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us worthy of. Do that which is assigned you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much. Do the duty which lies nearest to you. Every duty which is bidden to Wait returns with seven fresh duties at its back.-Kingsley.
