HALLQXWITEN CARNIVAL iff , S in former years, Sigma Mu Kappa members exerted themselves to the utmost to make the annual I-Iallowe'en Carnival a roaring success. Did they succeed? Very 'A well indeed, thank you. Everyone did his little part and did it well, concessions and booths took up all the available space in the gym. To say who had the most attractive stand is impossible, b-ut several are especially worthy of mention. The Bier Garten oper- ated by I-Ierr Markel and his Chewelah associates aroused much interest: the Keeno stand did land ofHce business, as also did the Wheel of Chance. Lack of space prevents us from doing honor to the numerous other concessions, but we had them, yes siree! While the p-reparations were taking place many curious individuals attempted to take a peep so that they could be prepared for the treat that awaited them on the festive night, but they were gently falthough very firmlyj shoved through the exits. Finally the doors were opened to the expectant crowd who hardly recognized the interior of the gym in its gay plumes and decorations-crepe pap-er of all colors, autumn leaves, green, and what-not. p ' N The entertainment committee, consisting of Arnold Baker, Clarence Froehle and Herbert Hughes, provided interesting spectacles at intervals throughout the evening. Several red-hot boxing matches took place and Mr. Froehle amused the crowd by display- ing his ability at jump-ing, tumbling and swinging Indian clubs. Twelve oiclock p. m. Good night, folks. This is the time when our festival must close. Everyone seems satisfied--patrons have seen what they came for and the boys behind the counters have the kale, and their supp-lies are dep-leted. I ask you, what could be sweeter? In a few minutes everyone has gone, and once more all is quiet on the western front.

JAY-M CLUB HIS year saw an almost complete reorganization of the Jay-M Club. Formerly composed of those who had won an Intermediate award, its members now comprise those who have earned a letter or a sweater in one of the three major high school sports-football, baseball, or basketball. Due to changes in the high school department the club was not active last year but its membership is now large, as many awards have been given this year. Dean Messner, two-year letterman and stellar high school half, was elected presi- dent b-y a large majority. Oscar Fox acceded to the vice-presidency. William Ellis, secretary, Richard Carey, treasurer, and Andrew I-Iurney, sergeant-at-arms, round' out the list of oflicers. Father .Maurus Hanley, O. S. B., co-ach of the three major high school sports, was chosen Club Moderator. ' The constitution of the club governs the privileges and restrictions of the members. It limits the wearing of high school awards to those who have earned them. Those who vio-late this rule are suspended from the club and their award taken away until the end of the school year. By these means an endeavor is being made to foster greater respect for awards. g By knitting the club members more closely together into a permanent group, various undertakings have been made possible. The future holds much promise of energetic growth for the club.
