The girls all went alone, and when the boys came they were greatly surprised to find, instead of their waiting schoolmates, as they had expected, the lights turned low and a row of what looked very much like ghosts seated on the floor, chanting mournful dirges. A chaperon equal to the occasion was present and explained to the boys that they must Choose part- ners before knowing who the llghostsi, were. This was a source of much fun, but each finally succeeded in making his choice, and a grand march was led by Mr. Beals. Then the girls were allowed to remove their attire and disclose their identity. Many games were played, during which time refreshments cOn- sisting of popcorn balls, candy and apples, were served ma la grabbe and eat? At rather a late hour peculiar sounds were heard, the door opened and a strange procession entered. which later proved to be the teachers and some of their friends. Forgetting their age they joined in the games and a very enjoyable time was spent by I everyone until the parting hour came and it was indeed a joyous crowd that dispersed to the homes. +0+0+ Saturday afternoon, November 18th, Miss Lois Parks invited a number of the High School girls to her home for the purpose of making Christmas presents and other needle work.
