Public performances at athletic games and school plays have shown marked improvement of the Trojan Band at Clifton. Together with the Girls' Pep Squad, many complicated drills were worked out much to the satisfaction of the school and townspeople.

HALLOWE'EN PARTY On October 31, the members of Clifton High School turned to witches, go blins, ghosts, and many other such things at a masquerade in the auditorium. To gain entrance to the hall it was necessary for guests to go through the basement, in which were encountered innumerable horrors. Once upstairs, however, many pleasures awaited them. There were dancing and many thrilling games. At the witching hour all unmasked, after which prizes were awarded for the best costumes. After a grand march to the refreshment booth, all enjoyed delicious pumpkin pie and cocoa. We thank the Advisory Council for having sponsored such an enjoyable party. HOLIDAY DANCE An appropriate holiday dance was held in the High School Auditorium on December 26. A large number of invitations were issued to the alumni and there was almost one hundred per-cent attendance oy both students and guests. The Christmas motif was carried out in decorations and favors. Guests enjoyed dancing around a large lighted Christmas tree in the center of the hall. The windows were outlined by pine boughs and a green pine alcove was made for the orchestra. At eleven o'clock, Santa Claus in the form of Ralph Morones came along with his sack of goodies , which he issued to all as favors. The music was furnished by Rodela's Orchestra, and the good time continued until twelve o'clock. The holiday dance was very successful and the students hop it will become an annual affair. ACTIVITY TICKET DANCE On December 10, the Advisory Council gave the dance that was originally to have oeen given for the class which bought the highest percentage of Activity Tickets. However, much to everyone's delight, every class bought 100 . The Council had been divided into four teams so as to sponsor the ticket sale to a greater advantage. It was agreed upon that the two losing teams would give the party to the two winning teams and the classes. Team 2 and 4 were obliged to prepare for the affair. Our public-address system furnished the music for this occasion. Interesting games as well as dancing were enjoyed. The refreshments of punch and cookies proved to be the climax of a most delightful evening. Everyone enjoyed the dance and hope that this will be made an annual affair. 28
