They scared the freshman girls by tickling their feet and the boys by riding them on the operating table. Then the seniors blossomed forth with a Costume Hallowe'a1 Dance on October 30. The costumes were certainly original. Helen Warren, as a little girl, and Edwin Niles a Senator Fishf Face, received the prizes for the humorous couple, and Eva Charles as Little Red Riding Hood, and Fleming Geertgens as a Mexican, received prizes for being the best-dressed couple.

Many parents gained a clearer idea of how the classes were conducted. Tea was served by the Homemaking Department for these guests. On the 20 of March, the Ag. boys held their annual Ag-Dance.
