At nine o'clock, all were requested to unmask, and many familiar faces were seen in unfamiliar surroundings. Ted Herman as a basketball girl and VVilma Cass as a Scotch gentleman, were out of their element. Mr. Barton, the local photographer, could not resist the temptation and took a picture of the students and faculty in costume. Various games were played, among them were: Boys foot race, wheel barrow race, and several balancing stunts Refreshments were served of doughnuts, cider, apples, pears and peanuts. fMiss Sherman ate most of the peanutsj. After the refreshments, Lucille Engelman gave a rare musical treat upon the I-Iumanaphonef' an instrument invented by Mrs. Vernon. The clock was on the verge of striking eleven when we all went home, agreeing that we had had a rare good time. THE FRESHMAN BAWL The Freshies gave a party all for themselves in honor of April Fool. They arrived early, each bringing a partner ffirst time for most of 'emj, and chaperoned by the faculty. First they had music on the Edison while the dray went down to cart in the refreshments. Then Mrs. Vernon gave a read- ing which was really an April Fool. Heartily encored she gave a real one entitled An April Romance. Miss Sherman recited her favorite French production L'Extase. After these treats of oratory Mr. Judson entertain- cd us with some new magic tricks. Then we played games simple enough for the enjoyment of those present, but wholly delightful and correct. At a late hour f9:45j We were served brick ice cream, angel food, marshmal- low men and bits of chocolate covered shingle. A little later we all paddled home in the rain mighty glad we were asked. -A Senior Who Was There.

Music was furnished by the High School Chorus and the address of the evening was delivered by Rabbi Ben Harrison of St. Louis. Following this, light re- freshments were served to over seven hundred guests and friends of the school. Seniors acted as conductors through the building and those present were loud in praise of the community spirit to which the school is a lasting memorial. HIGH SCHOOL FAIR The H. S. held its first fair in the Gym,' November 18, 1922. Contribu- tions of food were brought to the building and served in cafeteria style by several good looking waitresses. During the early part of the evening, the candy and fiower booths were crowded by customers. These booths were beautifully decorated, as was the Japanese tea garden where Miss Sherman, Velma Thomas and Florence McKown, dressed as girls from cherryland, served the tea. XVhen the guests had finished their lunch, they were advised to visit the fifteen side shows that were very ably advertised by an efficient barker at each booth. The fish pond attracted many a poor fish, as did the show for men only, Fat Lady, and the trip to Mars. Meanwhile, policemen were busy arresting those who were out of order, and fined them ten or fifteen cents. Mrs. Stoevener, first lady cop of Raymond, was a decided hit. When the side shows closed, a radio concert was enjoyed by all of the guests who were lucky enough to get inside the laboratory door. As a very fitting climax, Mr. Judson, our high school magician, simply astonished his large audience in the assembly hall by his principles of magic. The per- formance was concluded by his placing a woman in a large box with her head at one end and her feet at the other. With Mr. Vernon as his assistant he sawed the box in two, put it back together, and the unfortunate woman, Mrs. Vernon, jumped out unharmed. Thus, the fair was brought 'to a close, and after all the expenses had been paid, it was found that a net sum of S200 was cleared. , HALLOWE'EN PARTY. The H. S. gave a Hallowe'en party in the gym October 27, 1922. All members of the student body and the faculty were present. Several of the students wore very clever costumes, and some were especially fitting. Wrice Grotts as an old maid took the prize and was considered the belle of the IllllllllllIIlllllIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIll IIIIIIIIUlllIIIIIllIIl1HlllllllIIlIllIIIIIIIIIIIIHHIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIlIII IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIllIlllllllllllllillllllllk
