A. o rchestra played and was liked by all. Bids were given to the girls and also some of the girls received crickets which kept every- one ' s ears buzzing. Some parents were pres- ent and many of our teachers. The decora- tions in the hall were of course witches, cats, pumpkins, skeletons, and such. The colors seen in all the dresses of the girls were very gay and colorful. The boys looked nice in suits and sport clothes. Gloria Kniess. The second week after school opened vol- leyball was started. Eighty boys signed up for it in the eighth and ninth grades. After four weeks of practice for interclass, games were held. In these games the Low Nines beat the Jiigh Nines and the Low Eights beat the High Eights. The two winning teams went on to win the Junior High School Cham- pionship by beating Burbank and Willard.

The Low Nines were beaten only twice, once by the faculty and once by the Y. M. C. A. busi- ness men. Coach Pete Corley says that the Low Nine has a good chance to win the champion- ship next year.
