X XXX mm' W N I X D A . T Suas, INITIATION P,ARTY One lone light trying to drive out oceans of darkness, eerie shadows slinking in corners and behind things, ghostly figures that seemed to be hall there and halt not there, clanking of chains that were not there at all, uncanny groans of souls in dire agony-such was the setting for the initiation of the Freshmen and new girls, Margaret Monaghan, grand dragon of ceremonies, surrounded by couriers, judges and pages, meted out to each newcomer her sentence. And the empty, un- certain feeliug while awaiting that sentence! In order to be allowed to join the privileged ranks of the initiated, some were commanded to kiss the Book of Mysteries three times. Two successful attempts made the aspirants over-confident, so the wise old dragon punished them and made the last kiss a Houry bath. Expectation is greater than realization, we are told. The newly initiated are not sure about the greatness of it, but they do know expectation is sweeter. If you were at one end ot a piece of string and something else was at the other, would you not naturally expect that the something was a piece of candy or at least an apple? VVell, you would have been fooled just as they were. They found pieces ot keep that school girl complexion soap at the end of their strings. But the whole evening was not spent in torturing victims. Because of their fiery courage and unbroken spirits, we ted them well on cake and cream and let them dance the evening through. MRS. HASKELL Vtle were glad to herald the arrival of Columbus day, October twelfth, not only because our great country was discovered on that day, but because we were to hear M rs. Haskell again. In the afternoon recital, 'tDr, Luke of the l.abradorl' proved the feature number. ln the evening, Wfhe Bear Story gave us a hearty laugh. This was Mrs. Haskell's eighth visit to S. H. A., and each year we anticipate her coming with more pleasure. Sefventy-Tfwo

-.1 e JN' 4? ' Q will fu HALLOWE'EN PARTY Black witches and white ghosts, all widths and lengths, graced the posters which were spread far and wide in the corridors, telling that the Seniors would stage the Annual Halloween party, XVednesday evening, October twenty-seventh. VVith this gala eve11t came the blackest of nights, Ghosts and Demons of the wierdest sort, and unique creatures costumed in orange and black lurked in every corner. A few lighted pumpkin heads, the only illumination, deepened the atmosphere. VVhen it was at last time for the opening of the celebration, a bell called all towards the auditorium. At the door, the ghostliest of ghosts acted in the capacity of reception committee. A ghost story. told in a quivering voice, served to intensify the spectral spirit. Finally. the long-waited-for grand march arrived. Naomi Gorey and Catherine XYhite, garbed as Mr. and Mrs. Pioneer of '76, carried away the prize for the best masked couple. The prize for the funniest togs in the assemblage was justly awarded to liernadine Gorey and Helen Fogarty, dressed as all old couple, with the funniest of faces and clothes of extreme bagginess, a sight to behold. Though somewhat weary-eyed after such a night of gayety, everybody was able to see- tnhe sandwiehes,Icandy,4and delicious cider and to make way with them with a rapidity that spoke tor itself. MISS ELSIE ALEXANDER Miss Elsie Alexander, an English pianist of unusual ability, appeared in a recital Monday, lleceniber sixth. Miss Alexander is to be classified not only as a romantic interpreter of the piano literature, but also as a brilliant, forceful player. She has a niasterly command of the instrument, combined with simplicity and elegance of style, She is one of the most individualistic pianists of the generation. Chopiifs Etucle,'l of a war-like dashing type, was worthy of the hearty applause accorded by the audience. XYe felt extremely honored in being Bliss .-Xlexander's audience, and sincerely l.ope she will return. Sefvfnty- Thru'
