Phe sixteenth of November our re- I spected secretary received a let- ter from Gardner inviting the Senior class and faculty to a Hallowe’en party to be held in the Gardner High School. At a meeting of the class it was voted to accept this invitation. Accordingly on the evening of No- vember 30, thirty of the Seniors and Mr. Hitchcock boarded our special car at the American House.

On arrival at that place we attached our cognomens to a piece of paper, and the boys were set in a flutter by the appearance of a young lady (Miss McIntyre), who was to pin them upon our coats. After this pleasant duty was over we entered the hall. It was decorated in a unique and flattering manner with jack-o’-lan- terns and other appropriate articles for a Hallowe’en party. At this stage of the program Bessie and Ada circled around two of the Gardner fellows. Bingham took pity on them and introduced them. After introductions games were in order and events broke pretty evenly. In the snap-apple contest Pethy- bridge and Miss Rogers made vigor- ous attempts to insert their teeth, but failed miserably.
