And for bed we pine, Just write them in spare time. Geometry propositions, Rogola stares us in the face, And now for this school paper . 0 do in our spare time. . A reference at every line; Ilm supposed to wrlte a rhyme, We sigh and groan and then we say: And so I think, and think, and think, uWelll learn them in spare time. And use some more spare time. C. F., 1916.

m. mum mullw u m mlruuummll! - 4m m.tu-mm a v THE HALLOWEEN PARTY g at! - lthn-numm mm mu 1. ONE of the events which loomed large upon the horizon of society was the party at Oakhurst. It was given by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors, two singularly interesting and charming groups of girls, who are all, without exception, exceedingly pretty. The atmosphere of the interesting room in which the party was given was enhanced by extremely artistic decoration, carried out in the color scheme of black and yellow. Dread Spirits of darkness in the forms of paper witches and cats sported along the walls, and little jack-'o-,lanterns, strung from end to end of the spacious and inviting room, shed an appropriately ghostly light on the festive scene. Between the dances there were perfectly delightful games, in which all the guests took part, with the great- est enjoyment. Among the delightful young hostesses, who wandered about hospitably among their guests, were: Miss Mildred Carpenter, whose lovely, artistic face was set off by her costume of a Spanish dancer; Miss Margaret Allen, a girl of charming manner, and delightful face, who wore a most interesting costume, a family heirloom, in which one of her ancestors dis- covered Cape Cod; Miss Sara Macduff, her face filled 19 A T with the brightness of her fresh and youthful spirit, who also wore a costly and beautiful costume; pretty and interesting Miss Louise Newburgh, Who, as the Gypsy fortune teller, was much sought after; Miss Caroline Freiberg, who was charming in a shimmering robe which she found in the tomb of an Egyptian princess, when she was in Egypt last; Miss Sallie Grant, who was pretty and distinguee in a charming gown, which she, with her marked artistic talent, designed herself. Among the guests were Miss Elizabeth King, Who was exquisitely pretty and patrician in a romantic Gypsy dress; Miss Mary Terry Burnett, whose dark and piquant beauty became that of a demure little Quakeress; Miss Janet Graham and Miss Florence Kleybolte who were fascinating little kiddies in curls and socks, not yet out of the nursery; clever and attrac- tive Miss Florence Crozier as a stately colonial dame, and many others, Who wore costumes of equal beauty and distinction. Altogether, the evening was a radiant one, due to the buoyant hospitality, and will long remain unique in the annals of society. L. E. W., 1916, Society Reporter.
