They had been asked to come prepared to be out of doors, but they little suspected what a treat was in store for them. After every one had ar- rived, wiiih Mr. and Mrs. Talkington in the lead, all started out, not knowing whereg but in the direction of Main street- The Star and the Theatorium were passed by, but when on coming to the Grand, Mr. Talkington stepped to the ticket window. The pictures shown were splendid- It was then, Mrs. Talkington's turn and she lcd to way to the Bollinger I-Iotel, where a beautifully decorated table. was set for twenty. After a delicious luncheon, this merry cznnpany, with their hospitable host and hostess departed homeward.

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. Qllbristmas iBartp On December, the sixteenth, the evening before the students departed to their various homes, for the holidays, 3, Christmas party was given in Lewis Hall. The drawing room was gay with Christmas trimmings, and jolly old St. Nicholas was present with his pack. Small gifts were hidden in various places for each girl, and hunting them caused much merriment- After the distribution of gifts, dancing was enjoyed.

took a lively part in the games, music and story telling. The students took their departure feeling that they had formed another linkof friend- ship which would bind together more firmly the students and faculty of the Lewiston State Normal School- i ' Zin Qthening with mr. anh mrs. Qhshurn How many tim.es do we say, Oh, if we could only do something different. On the evening of November the twelfth, Mr. ancl Mrs. Osborn made it possible for about twenty Normal students to gratify this common wish. The evening's events made up a mock Track meet, and each phase had been admirably planned. Equal sides were desig- nated by means of pink 'and green paper caps, and the Normal spirit and loyalty stood the participants in good stead. Before the contests took place, both groups enjoyed a c'omic film, shown in the Normal auditorium. Afterwa-rd all returned to the home of the host and hostess. The numerous contests the program afforded were lively, and excite- ment waxed high, as the scores of the Pinks and Greens arose and fell. The last contest decided in favfor of the Pinks, and the Greens paid the penalty by assisting in serving the refreshments. The world puts a premium upon originality, even in entertaining, and none appreciated that fact more than did this jolly party of students. The lewis 191111 Eames Lewis Hall was the scene of much merriment on four successive evenings, one each quarter, when there were pretty dancing parties, given for the girls on the campus, who enjoyed dancing- Before each dancing party, there were exciting meetings held, at which time the girls drew slips for the next dance. If luck was against them the First time, they felt confident that at some other time they would be success- ful. About the same young men attended each dance, but the receiving line was made up of different girls each time. The program consisted of many of the late dances and various cotillion dances which offered a variety. For a couple of hours during the evening delicious refresh- ments were served in the dining room, which was artistically decorated. JRun-?IBanting iBattp Those who did not come to the Lewis I-lall party, March the thirty- first, missed one of the most delightful homey evenings spent at Lewis Hall this year. Pleasant, animated conversation was carried on until all the guests arrived and then the games began. Nothing was needed to break the ice,', for there was none to break. The playing of games, for which appropriate and humorous prizes were given, continued until refreshments were served. The girls select-ed partners and descended to the dining room, where they were greeted by refreslnnents which did
