The Rambler and Mr. Hartford. Allan Sherman was elected President: john Sawyer, Vice- V President: and Alice Lansell, Secretary and Treasurer. The purpose of this Council is to represent the school bcdy as a whole and thus 'help the faculty to exercise discipline. The Councilselects the mar- shals and gives its. opinion on minor disciplinary questions. Since the first Student Council at N.

In the receiving line were the school board, the faculty, and presidents of the four classes. Music was fur- nished by the Blue jackets of Montpelier and dancing continued until one.

N Mcfecn Thiriy-three HALLOWE'EN PARTY Hallowe'enl How can October go by without a Hallowe'en party? That is what the Freshmen asked. They answered it as soon as they asked it with the reply, We'll have one. And so they did. Football games in October! That is natural too. Perhaps the egg foot- ball game played at this party was not so rough as those played on a football field but the players were highly entertaining. One thing sure, is all those who played will agree that it is much more fun than regular football. Without apples on a string Hallowe'en wouldn't be complete. And with- out ghosts there would not be a Hallowe'en atmosphere. And there were ghosts! Two solemn, stately, shrouded figures welcomed the guests at the door, with their cordial wet-gloved hands that sent shudders up one's back bone. After the usual Hallowe'en games, dancing was enjoyed, the music for the evening's entertainment being furnished by Mrs. johnson. Miss Salmond, the Freshman Class Advisor, was the FacultyAdvisorforthe party. Mrs. W. D. Emerson, Mrs. S. R. White and Prof. Charles N. Barber acted as chaperons. . MAGAZINE CONTEST Say, jack, did you know the magazine salesmen are here today? Real- ly? Fine. And by these remarks you know that the magazine sale is'on. For the last three years the High School has conducted magazine sales, the school being divided into two teams, each striving daily to out-score the other in the number of sales. The losing team gives a party to the proud winners soon after the contest has ended. This year the High Hats and the Sombreros were the names of the contesting sides. A lively contest was had and the Sombreros were the win- ners-only by a very slight margin. A party was held at Grange Hall where dancing, games, etc. aided in making the party a success. STUDENT COUNCIL Early last fall the Assembly was started by Mr. EIlCkSOI1,S announcement that a Student Council was to be established at N. H. It was to consist of the four class presidents, two elected members from each class, and three members of the faculty, the latter to be chosen by the Council.

Nineteen Thirty-three JUNIOR PLAY The junior class presented a one-act play and a short sketch at the Grange Hall, May 19th. The play A'Keeping Kitty's Dates is based on the irresponsibility of Kitty CBeulah Delaryl who tinds herself on the day of a house party with two men. tHer three friends, Mina CMarion Stonej, Flo CAgnes Demasib, and Evelyn CClara Slackl swear never again to take an extra date off her hands but each one relents and unknown to the others, goes down to entertain a man whom she takes to be the real extra date. Kitty finally breaks with the first extra just in time to keep the real date, Cjohn Sawyerl from becoming entangled with the girls. The girls' motto is L'VVhat you don't know. Kenneth Kidd and Leroy Christmas took the parts of the extra dates and Lucille Howd the part of the maid. The sketch A Pair of Lunatics gives the amusing encounter between two sane people CFlorence Perra and Gerald Beaudettej who have met between dan- ces at a hospital for the insane. Each takes the other for an in mate and humors him along. A letter solves the problem for the couple. Between sketches: A Alice Lansell-Accordian. Leroy Christmas-Guitar and Songs. Ruth Caswell-Song. A dance was held after the entertainment.
