THE QUIITL SOCIETY R. H. S. HALLOWEEN PARTY It was on October the twenty-eighth that the Athena and Philakean societies met for the first time during the year in a sociable way. It was then that we gave our Halloween Party. The very moment that the boys arrived th ey took part in a dear hunt, and it was Vic- tor, the brave lad, who appeared triumphant with the most dears -his usual lufk The new auditorium was soon rafiant with friendly pumpkin faces, and the jollity and good fellowship of carefree youth. All the witches, spooks, and evil spirits of Halloween fame were crowded into dark corners, lcaving room only for the merry makers. Music and dancing were plentiful and games were in progress in every corner of the building. When ten o'clock came 'round, a Halloween luncheon of hodge podge, witches' brew, and orchard imps was served to gay couples seated around the room. When, after a little more dancing, the party finally broke up , happy laughter and blithesome voices echoed up and down the corridors, out into the darkness, and on into our dreams. It was indeed a joyous occasion! J. H. S. PEOPLE IN GHOSTLAND Witches, cats, elves and ghosts, Spooks with awful threats and boasts, Fairies good and fairies bad Frolicked and danced with ghosts white-clad, When on Halloween each lass and lad Came to the school a party to have. . Met with clanking chains and clammy hands, The students entered the mystic lands. The games that were played would make you shudder Stories were told, each worse than the other, Apples were bobbed and fortunes were told By the Junior High people so brave and so bold. When refreshments appeared, Oh what a delight! There were apples, bright red, and popcorn snow white. But before this delicious repast was obtained Each did a stunt, his supper to gain. Was the popcorn enjoyed? Were the apples good? But that's a thing that's well understood. When the teachers said that home we must go 7 Everyone groaned. They'd enjoyed themselves so, Oh Dear! they all said, It isn't so late. . But the teachers were firm and told us our fate. It won't do they said, To pout and to tease For we'll have many parties exactly like these. REESEVILLE-RIO SUPPER. A notice on the board January 27th, calling for a special Athena meeting was the first mention of the spread for the Rio Basketball boys. The Athena and Philakean societies made plans for the party, and Friday night, Feb- ruary 3rd, after the game, the Rio boys were taken to the commercial room where a few minutes of dancing preceded supper. Partners were chosen, and then, in pairs, we enjoyed the supper which was more than good enough for all. A shortage of spoons for ice cream made necessary a flying trip to Carmichael's where the silver chests were burglarized by two of our boys. We danced a short time after supper before it was time to leave behind us the scene of our good time. Page 23
