011132 Surprise ilaallntnfen Bittner Saturday noon, October thirty-first, the Lewis Hall girls were given a pleasant surprise. The dining room had been very effectively decorat- ed with I-Iallowe'en trimmings. The chandeliers were covered with yellow crepe-paper cut in pumpkin faces, and weird moons and black witches were suspended from the ceiling. At each plate was a witch cap of yellow or green for each girl to wear during the meal. The tables also were decorated. In the center of each, was an immense pumpkin, with ribbons radiating from the inside and extending to each plate. Each girl found to her surprise, a Hallowe'en favor, tied to the -other end of the ribbon. Green apples with black paper cats inserted in the top, added toi the table decorations. Variety is the spice of life. ifaallnhafen Rants Weird lights shone from the Gymnasium windows, on the evening of October the thirty-first. The entrance door was locked and a gl'OU1J of fantastically dressed people crowded at the basement door. The occasion was a masked party and dance, given by the Normal students. One at a time the eager young people were admitted, one at a time they were led before St. Peter, drank of the cups of knowledge, and passed thru purgatory and perdition. Some submitted to their trials with admi- rable stoicismg others shoewd either feigned or genuine fright, at the realistic and gruesome sighlts- But a bad beginning makes a good ending and the final scene was a cleverly planned and artistic representa- tion of heaven. This certainly eounteracted any ill' effect which might have been previously produced. Each victim's wonderings finally ter- minated on the main floor of the Gymnasium, where dancing was soon the order of the hour. Everything had been so clevely arranged that the entire evening was a series of unexpected events. No smallest de- tail was neglected, even the refreshments, cider and doughnuts, were served in an original manner. Near the close of the evening a witch's dance took place around the cauldron. Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. The young people departed feeling that the entertainers had given them an opportunity to enjoy themselves in a manner to do justice to the occasion.
