Ciiestkh High School The Reflector : 1924 9 HISTORICAL The Chester High School was first established in 1906, and at once mod- estly and industriously set itself to the task of supplying two years of High School training to the youth in this immediate section of Chesterfield County. Its growtli was so rapid that within a few years it received recognition as a standard high school and became, by State appointment, tbe Agricultural High School for the Third Congressional District of Virginia. An Act of the Leg- islature of Virginia, finally approved on March 16, 1910, provided the condi- tions under which the Congressional District Agricultural high schools were to be conducted, and the attention of teachers and school officials was centered upon the carrying out of these provisions. A farm of twenty-three acres was selected for a new site, the new build- ings were erected, special teachers for the department of Agriculture with shop work and Home Economics were secured, and the school continued to expand in its large field of service. Two courses were offered the practical in the two subjects above mentioned, and the standard academic course covering in- structions in all branches that met college entrance requirements. The school had entered upon a stage of pronounced usefulness to its community and to the more distant parts of the county. It attracted pupils from other counties. In 1917 Congress enacted the Smith-Hughes bill to provide for the promotion of vocational education throughout the States of the Federal Lhiion. Specifically, it provided for co-operation with the States in the promotion in agriculture and the trades and industries, for co-operation in the training of teachers of voca- tional subjects, and to appropriate Federal funds and regulate their expen- diture. The Assembly of Virginia in 1918, passed a law accepting the conditions under which the Federal aid provided by the Smith- Hughes Act may be secured, and made the appropriations necessary to receive its benefits. The former Congressional District high schools were made to conform to the Smith-Hughes conditions and became Countv Agricultural High Schools. The Chester school promptly adapted itself to the changed condition, and has steadfastly endeavored to meet every requirement of the said act. while con- forming to the increasingly more strict demands of the State Board of Educa- tion for the Academic course, the school has, in both departments, received and maintained full recognition as a standard four-year high school.

She has quite an envisable replica- tion as ‘actress and tight-rope walker.’ The fact that she has so many friends proves that she has been friendly. She is in short a lovable, normal, true blue high school girl.

To watch her eyes sparkle, to hear her laugh, to see her smile, is all that is necessary to cure one’s blues, for her happiness is contagious.

Neverthe- less, if you are searching for a friend or comforter go to “Sis,” for she has a heart and word for all and is willing to extend it further. She is small, but takes up a large place- in old C. H. S. and will be a great loss to her. “Sis” is our Matoaca lassie — ear- nest. patient, industrious, and as any of us can testify she is a jolly good fellow,” always ready for a good time.

Tiik Reflector 1921 25 Albert J. Shoosmith “Al” “I had rather he wiser than look Than to look wiser than I am.” We have found Bert’s philosophy of life to be — “Too much work is sin- ful.” Like most lazy people, he is gifted with good humor. This quality lias preserved him from the wrath of his teachers and gained him many friends. Washington Literary Society (3, 4); Secretary 2nd Term (4); Athletic- Association (3, 4). Violet Bernice Sutler “Kid “She was cute, she teas cozy, and she rolled her eyes at many a boy” Violet is all that her name em- pties, shy, sweet and modest.

By her kind and gentle disposition, with her sweet smile she has won many friends, while her lovely curls and complexion have entitled her to a place in the 1924 “Hall of Beauty.” Here’s hoping, that in the future, she may always remem- ber her old friends of Chester High.

The Reki.ector 1921 Marian Carson Avent “Kitty” ‘A perfect woman nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command.” The black haired, brown eyed las- sie has in the short year she has been in Chester, proven herself a welcome addition to our class. Her ability to preside at Literary Society meetings, and be hostess at “The Cottage’ on state occasions is ample proof of her capability. Those who know her best claim that she is worth her weight in gold, which is a great deal. She is always willing and ready to help in any- way, therefore, we wish “Kitty” great success when she goes out to assume the responsibilities of teach- ing. President of Lee Literary Society (4); Member of Athletic Association (4); Glee Club (4); Home Economics Club (4). “Whence is thy learning? Hath tin toil O ' er books consumed the midnight oil?” Marian is a quiet, timid, gentle, lovable girl, with a winsome smile and holds a large place in the hearts of her school-mates. In spite of the fact that she has been sick much of the time, her fine mind has en- abled her to keep up her work.

Close in our hearts we hold thee dear: And claim thee still, thru many a year; Our Ladye fair, dear Ladye fair. Sickness made it necessary for Margaret to leave us in January. She was our Senior President while here and was keenly interested in all phases of school life. The Reflector 1921 WHAT WE HAVE BEEN True history, it has been said, cannot be written until the days have rolled into years, and the years into centuries ; but the deeds and accomplishments of the class of 1924 need no centuries to brighten the record which they have establish- ed here during the four years of their work. Year after year historians have meted out the merits of their classes, they have extolled their virtues, and labored on their accomplish- ments, and, fellow classmates, we can justly prove that they have not exaggerated their powers nor painted too bright a picture of the things they have done and could do. In like manner, we are entitled to speak of the accomplishments of the class of 1924 of Chester High School. Theoretically, the history of this class dates back to Sep- tember, 1920 when forty green, frightened individuals timid- ly affixed their names to the registration cards which declared them to be freshmen. In reality, our history began when we organized with Cornelia Cox as President and began to par- ticipate in High School activities. Chief among these was the now famous Algebra Banquet which included among its guests many Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Another most interesting event was Mr. Hamilton’s and Miss King’o marriage with the attending festivities, in which we took part, Field Day and the May Day exercises completed our year’s activities and found us ready to be Sophomores. Oun Sophomore year opened with a “dash”, and in Octo- ber we held our first important meeting, which was somewhat of a political fight resulting in the election of Margaret Bishop as president. After this meeting we took up our work in earnest and made splendid progress. But amid this hard work we still found time for a little fun. Perhaps the most enjoyable event was the shower which the Home Economics girls of our class, assisted by those of the first year, gave Miss Maynard. The Reflectou : 1924 :jo The baseball team which was very successful drew part of its quota from among our midst, thus calling forth our in- terest and continued support. Vacation time ended all too soon, but the sorrow of re- turning to school was softened by the knowledge that we were Juniors. As Juniors we were fired with a determination to make our influence felt through the school. With Percy Chalkley as president, we accomplished this purpose. Our first big undertaking was the Junior circus which made for us a substantial little sum of money which was to be used as a nest egg for the 1924 Annual. Many smiles were brought forth by the various familiar and unfamiliar circus stunts. Among them was Mr. Tyler’s appearance as prize baby with Mrs. Hurt in attendance as nurse maid. During March of this year the Richmond News Leader sponsored a tri-county spelling bee, in which Henrico, Han- over, and Chesterfield participated. First place in this match was won by Virginia Bell and third place by Violet Suttler, who won first honor in the county elimination contest. In early April we entertained the Seniors. The shop was transformed from an everyday workshop into fairy-land by soft lights, many flowers, and the intermingled colors of the two classes. A pleasant evening was spent uniting Juniors and Seniors into one body which would always love and serve its Alma Mater. Our class held a large place in athletics also, for the bas- ket ball, baseball, and football teams included several of our members. We were exceedingly proud of some of the records made by these teams, especially when we won two out of three basket ball games from Midlothian. About this time examinations came, and after much worry and hard study on our part they were successfully passed and we were Seniors. Our history as Seniors is a tale of work as well as play. The County Fair brought not only honor, but disappointment too, for though as a school we won first place, we lost in the oratorical and essay contests and at basket ball. The Reflector : 1921 31 Tena Branch representing the Senior Class was winner in the district essay contest, while Lucia Krause and Percy Chalkley won renown in the county-wide debate. The Junior circus at Hallowe’en and the Senior Faculty party at Mrs. Ketcham’s are happy memories of the fall, while the Junior-Senior reception is still fresh in its beauty and joy. Valentine days will always recall to our minds — Juniors, hearts, Chester. As Seniors we had realized that the position which we had acquired carried with it many responsibilities as well as many privileges. Our hopes of graduation had formed them- selves into a determination to work harder and bring to our class and school new honors. We realized that suddenly our Alma Mater had grown very dear to us and so in each heart was born anew a further determination to love and serve her better. We realized that for four years we had been bound by those bonds which can only be the result of companion- ship ; that each life had been changed by this contact and was richer and finer because of it. And so our history merges into prophecy — prophecy that the dim, far reaching future will become gold studded and rosy lined as we go down its enticing avenues of adventure, all of which point backwards and ever backwards to our Alma Mater — Chester High School. We catch a glimpse of the fact that our honor is her honor, and that our achievements will be either a disgrace or a tribute to her. And so we come to the parting of the ways. The history of the class of ’24, as made in these halls is finished, but it shall go on and on with us, linking and relinking us with those with whom we labored and rejoiced. “Finishing, yet beginning” truly this is our history. —TENA M. BRANCH. • i 2 The Reflector : 1924 CLASS PROPHECY I left our gay party, the members of which were enjoying themselves in the free open air of the wood in which we were spending the day. Having become tired of their fun and fro- lic and desiring to be alone with my thoughts, I strolled off along a winding wood path. How far I walked I know not: with the sweet song of birds coming to my ears from the budding trees, and the sweet perfume of wood violets in my nostrils, I thought neith- er of distance nor of time but wandered on. The voice of my friends died away. A squirrel startled from his hiding place, ran across my path and darted out of sight into a clump of bushes. On and on I went until suddenly I came upon an opening in the wood. The noise of falling water broke the stillness which had settled upon the forest. I crossed this little am- phitheatre and stood upon the brink of a babbling stream, musically making its way to the ocean, where it would be swallowed up and lost from sight. I sat down upon a large stone and began to think of my classmates, and to compare them with this little stream, for they were moving onward to the great ocean of life. Soon our class would come to the end of its present course, and its members would be tossed out on the waves to battle for themselves. As I thought, I could but wonder it they would be submerged and lost sight of, as the little drops of water in this stream would be swallowed up in the salt water of the deep olue sea. But my day dream was interrupted by the parting of the bushes on the other side of the water and by the appearance of the most beautiful woman I had ever beheld. She was too fair for mortal and yet I was sure she was not divine. As she glided noiselessly across the distance which sep- arated us, I was able to get a good view of her beautiful face and form. She was dressed in a flowing gown of white silk, which she wore with the grace of a queen. Her long black hair was caught at the back of her neck in a clasp of pure gold; and in her hand she carried a large round glass ball. Thk Reflector : 192 1 “I am Olympia,” began the fair one without any intro- duction. “I have come from Greece, the home ot the gods, in order to be of service to you. At the command of Zeus I left my home in that beautiful land and came here to read your mind in order to find the cause of such deep reflection. Tell me what it is that causes your brow to be wrinkled with deep thought?” “Oh fair one,” I cried, “I would like for you to reveal unto me the future of my classmates.” She took the ball which I had noticed in her hand, and kneeling at my feet held it up for me to see. Upon inspecting it I found written on the surface: “Herein lies the future of the class of 1924, as it shall be ten years hence.” I looked into its depths and sure e nough, one by one my classmates passed before me. As my eyes became accustomed to the scene in the ball, I realized that it was a sick room and that the attractive, dark haired, smiling girl in nurse’s uniform was none other than our Senior president, Lucy Moseley. The door opened and some one entered. To my delight it proved to be Margaret Bishop, who also wore with dignity and grace, the service uniform of a nurse. As I looked again, reflected in the crystal ball I saw a convention hall. The president’s face attracted my attention, as she arose to address the group of teachers present, I recog- nized Mittie Wilson. As I continued to watch, Dorothy Mc- Enally, Margaret Malone, Gladys Ellis and Marian Avent arose in turn and gave reports and addresses, which, judging from the applause they received, deeply interested their co- workers. The ball turned and the auditorium became a cabaret; amid beautifully colored lights, people moved and supped. Suddenly the spot light rested upon two dancing figures who attracted the attention of the whole audience. I was over- whelmed when I realized that they were Ruby Thrift and Elizabeth Michael, ballet dancers. The next scene was in China. The sun was sinking be- hind the mountain ; in the vallev I saw a crowd assembled 34 The Reflector : 1924 around someone who was preaching. Upon closer inspection I perceived that Raymond ' A vent had chosen the noblest pro- fession of any member of our class — that of a missionary, who was laboring among the heathen in a foreign land. As the crystal ball revolved I was filled with admiration at the scene which I beheld. In a beautifully decorated church, lovely women and handsome men were gathered to witness a wedding ceremony. I strained my eyes to see who, in this distinguished gathering, I might know and was re- warded when the bride entered and proved to be Rachel King, looking as lovely as a bride can look. Again the scene changed and in a fashionable section of Philadelphia I saw an exclusive looking shop with this sign in the window: “Cox and Branch, Consulting Beauty Special- ists.” Next a book appeared in the ball entitled: “The Evolu- tion of the Flapper” written by Nellie Deane. The ball turned and I beheld Julia Sanders standing in front of a quaint little bungalow nestled among the flowers in sunny Florida. Then the crystal ball revealed a newspaper. The head- line caught my eye and startled me, for it stated the fact that Lena Perdue had been nominated by the Woman ' s Progres- sive party for the next president of our country. Glancin g down the column I beheld a very complimentary write up of Elvin Hightower, who had just been elected to the State Senate. Further down the page these headlines caught my eye “Grant’s Discovery of a New Element Creates a Sensa- tion in the Field of Science.” This was not surprising when I recalled Leon’s splendid work in our Chemistry Class. Looking once more, I realized that the blackness before me was the velvet curtain of a stage. As the curtains parted a violinist, Violet Suttler — stood before me, beautiful and wonderful in the perfection of her art. Lucia Krause follow- ed her as a soloist and I could only gasp with admiration as she sang. After these completed their program, there ap- peared a movie in which Mary Swmeford was featured as a star. The attractive interior of a modern banking house next excited my interest and I saw on several doors, engraved The Reflector : 1921 35 plates bearing the names of William Miller “President ' Vir- ginia Bell “Paying Teller” and Alice Frood “Consultant to Business Women.” As my eyes went from name to name my attention was attracted by the entrance of a prosperous look- ing farmer, who proved to be Bert Shoosmith, grown tall. Then the interior of the State Chamber in Washington appeared before me. The atmosphere was permeated with a spirit of suppressed excitement. In wonder I gazed with bat- ed breath as Percy Chalkley appeared before my astonished eyes and delivered a message of nation-wide interest before the assembled houses of Congress. As I realized that I had seen the future of each of my classmates I sank in deep thought trying to believe it true. All of a sudden it occurred to me that perhaps I might be al- lowed to see my own future. But as I turned I realized that the goddess had vanished and that time alone would reveal it to me. ANNIE E. NUNNALLY. 36 The Reflectoh : 1921 TO ALMA MATER ’Neath the shadows of thy dogwood, Where the fragrant blossoms smell, Many eager hearts are weeping, As we bid you sad farewell. But in parting we would linger. Just a moment to insure, That to thee we’re always faithful, In whatever we endure. Many are the ties that bind us, With a love that ever lasts, Love that always will remind us Of the bright and glorious past. In our absence may you flourish, Reaching unknown heights of fame, May whatever we accomplish Be an honor to your name. May the laurels that adorn you, Never fade within thy sight. But through countless ages guide you. In the footsteps of the right. While the eagle holds the summit, And the lion rules his den, Know that all our prayers are for thee, All our efforts to thy end.

The Reflector : 1924 37 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1924 of the Chester Agricultural High School, Chester, Virginia, now about to depart from this institution, having profited by our manifold experiences and in grateful acknowledgement of numerous services rendered us by certain persons and being solicitous that our worldly goods may be disposed of to the best interests of humanity, hereby declaring null and void all former wills and bequests by us made, do hereby make and constitute this to be our last will and testament in the manner and form fol- lowing, to-wit: ITEM 1 To the Junior Class we will our Senior dignity and all of our rights and privileges as Seniors.

The Reflector : 1 92 1 40 HE WHO LABORS, CONQUERS With my mind’s eye, I see before me a magnificent speci- men of a tree. For many years, it has stood in this particular spot. In the beginning, it was only a tiny plant depending on nature to see that its needs were supplied. Nature did sup- ply the nourishment by putting it within reach, but this tree had to put forth effort to take in food and drink. Years of hardship, bringing with them the blasts and snows of winter and the droughts of summer, followed. The tree grew and each year put forth more effort ; and for its reward received greater strength and stature. So it is with all vegetable life. There is continual effort, followed by continual gain. With- out effort, there is no gain; the gain is in proportion to the effort put forth. I next turn my eyes upon another form of life — the ani- mal. Here is one of the lower forms known as the oyster. From a seed that has become attached to a piece of shell, rock or stick, this luscious bivalve has developed. The currents of the sea have brought to it the nutriment used in its growth, but we know that the oyster has led a busy life drawing its food by muscular effort, and making use of it in the processes of digestion. Its effort has been rewarded. The same processes may be observed in the growth and development of the higher forms of life. The higher an ani- mal stands in the scale of intelligence, the greater is its brain control over its efforts, and in their turn, powers of its br ain are further developed because of these efforts. We have been astonished to observe the evidence of brain development in some of the higher forms of animal life. We call this “in- stinct” in lower animals ; in man it is the mind. Either is the result of exertion — of putting forth efforts of the body and brain. Mental and physical activities have always existed among men. The savage, at first, owned nothing; therefore, it was necessary for him to exert his efforts to sustain life. Know- ing not how to make anything, he depended entirely upon what he could find. He simply took possession of natural products, such as, game of the forest and fish of the sea. J ' i-ie Reflector : 192 1 1- 1 The little knowledge which he possessed was transmit- ted only by tradition, as he had no written language. Pro- ducts of the earliest great development are found in the val- ley of the Nile. The pyramids, and collossal statues at Thebes still remain, and show the perserveranee and skill of the Egyption artisans. Greece received light from Egypt and followed in her footsteps. After the Pyramids, the most famous buildings were the gigantic temples of the gods, and in sculpture, Greece has never been surpassed. During the last few hundred years, progress in all lines has been both rapid and phenomenal. The discovery of the art of printing, the mariner’s compass, and the application of steam and electricity to the mechanical arts have done much to prepare the way for universal progress. The Ameri- can Revolution establishing free government on our shores, and the French Revolution destroying a long settled form of tyranny, both contributed to the belief that man ought to think for himself. It was the breaking of the fetters of tra- dition. He, who succeeds, has a certain aim in life. It was once said, “Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.” Lab- or is as necessary, and even more so, in this age of many-sid- ed interests, as it was in the past ; but he, who would now con- quer decisively, must add to his labor, purpose. Cyrus Field, the inventor of the Atlantic Cable, spent many years, in per- fecting this method of communication. Thirteen years of anxious watching and ceaseless toil were his, but think what he accomplished by his untiring energy! Thomas A. Edison is a living illustration of our subject. A large percentage of the inventions, which characterize the twentieth century civi- lization, are products of his unceasing efforts. Be it, then, our duty and our encouragement to live and to labor, ever mindful of the future, but let us not forget the past, for we should see that all ages have lived and labored for us. The earliest and most distant times are not without a present influence on our daily lives. The mighty stream of progress though fed by many tributary waters and hidden springs, derives something of its force from its earlier cur- rents, which leap and sparkle in the distant mountain recess- The Reflector : 1921 12 es, over precipices, among rapids, and beneath the shade of primeval forest. For this reason, in order to have any success in life, or any worthy success, we must resolve to carry into our work a fullness of knowledge — not merely a sufficiency, but more than a sufficiency. A good education is almost indispensable as an aid to one who is struggling to gain a place in the front rank of the world workers. A b c’s now conquered, and hav- ing advanced a few steps further, can we feel satisfied with what we have done, and lay aside our work? No, we must push on, hoping to attain to a higher eminence. Let this be the clarion call, that comes ringing down the ages, for our guidance, our inspiration, and our promise of future suc- cess — “He, Who Labors, Conquers.” —JULIA SANDERS. Tiik Refi-kctoh l!) 2t ‘13 EDUCATION, THE SUBJECT OF THE HOUR “Education is the most important subject now demanding the attention of the American people. Take an intelligent, law-abiding, self-supporting, idealistic people and no political, social or international problem is too com- plex. Leave the people in ignorance, superstition and economic thralldom and the nation trembles on the brink of an abyss.’’ The prevailing illiteracy in the United States is alarming. As census figures show our country stands tenth in rank of education and literacy. There are several million adults in our country who are uneducated and the appall- ing fact confronts us that over half of them are native born citizens. These men and women confess that they are illiterate and this means that they are unable to read and write in any language. But we must not get the idea that all the children are educated and only the adults are illiterate, for it is wrong. There are a million boys and girls in our country between ten and fifteen years of age who should be in school but are elsewhere. Evidently something must have come between them and the school house. It has, and we call it child labor. The laws of many States of our Union allow the employment of child- ren in factories or industries before they finish school thus depriving them of their fair share of an opportunity for education. These children are future citizens of our State and nation and if they are allowed to grow up in ignor- ance they swell the number of our illiterates and weaken the foundations of our national life, which is based upon the intelligence of its citizenship. One may point to its distinguished citizens who have been in youth deprived of educational advantages and whose influence in later years was a help to our nation. Abraham Lincoln did not have the advantage of gaining an education but he used his greatest influence in preserving our nation. But we cannot say that the case of Lincoln is true in every instance, because from the time he was president until today we have had great men in office, all of whom had the advantages that Lincoln lacked. They used their influence too — not to preserve but to build up the wonderful government which he used his best efforts to preserve. Of the men who were called to the colors during the great world war it was found that about twenty-five per cent had no education. Many others were unable to read with understanding or express their meaning intelligently in writing. The education of the younger generation is an important subject and should be considered now and not fifty y ' ears hence, after they have become adult illiterates. Many great problems present themselves as a result of illiteracy, but the most serious arise in regard to citizenship and the welfare of the country as a whole. As stated before thousands and thousands of men and women who art citizens of our country are illiterates and are unable to discuss and consider with intelligence the questions of national interest which arise daily. The Reflector : 1921 11 Notwithstanding the facts that have been mentioned as to the prevalence and disadvantages of illiteracy, there are those who argue that the cost of edu- cation and the attention given it are entirely out of proportion to its impor- tance to the nation, but when we consider it in the light of the startling facts mentioned above, appropriations for education may well be considered as con- tributions to the national defense. It has been said that general and popular intelligence is as necessary for the protection of the nation as are guns, forts, and battleships. As one man expresses it, “Education is a matter that con- cerns the future of the nation as a whole.” In some places people are going so far as to raise the cry that the expen- ditures for the public schools are so great that they are impoverishing the na- tion and that business will no longer tolerate t he heavy burdens of taxation for school purposes. A very careful study of the school costs has revealed the fact that only one per cent of the nation’s wealth is spent for the upkeep of the public schools. The country over, school costs amount to only three cents per person a day. While the cost of schools has increased enormously since 1911, the increase has not been out of proportion to advances in almost all other cost. H ow then can that impoverish a nation as great as ours? These facts and others which might be presented prove that education is a subject of supreme concern to the American people. Several years ago the public paid very little attention to education, but in recent years it has been taken by the government as a national problem. Not only has it become of interest to the national government but the state and local unit of government is realizing more and more the importance of educa- tion. The question is discussed by individuals all over the United States and it is the topic of discussion in many families. The daily papers, standard periodicals, etc. have taken up the subject and are constantly re-echoing that interest. In a few words we may express the idea stated above by saying that education is discussed by the common people all over the great United States. When a question becomes national in its scope ot discussion, as has education, it is indeed the subject of the hour. ElIZ a BETH Ml C H A E L .

The splendid coaching of Mr. Wood, the lively interest and hard work of the girls, plus the old Chester spirit have made a team hard to beat — as any team who has played them can testify. Dimviddie is the only team enjoying the distinction of defeating them, with the exception of Midlothian in the first game of the season. The team later defeated Midlothian twice. As they had defeated every other school in the county the victories over Midlothian gave them county championship and the cup.

Only a few of the old players were back, and so the team was composed most- ly of inexperienced material. They also lacked the advantage of weight, but what was lacking in these respects was made up in a fine fighting spirit. In no game did they ever give up, until the final whistle.

CLASS DAYS The four classes in the High School showed their spirit in the celebration of their various class days. The Juniors came first, when their president pro- claimed the 6th of November to be designated as “Junior Day.” This was followed by the other three classes, each being appropriately costumed from the Seniors who returned to childhood to the Freshmen who “grew up.” SENIOR PLAY Under the direction of Miss Harmon the Senior Class presented a play “Molly’s Aunt,” which was a brilliant success, having an all star cast. It was repeated at Matoaca in February with continued success, despite the loss of a wig. SENIORS ENTERTAINED Ghosts, goblins and witches held sway at the home of Mrs. W. L. Ketcham on the night of October 26th, when she entertained the faculty and the mem- bers of the Senior Class at a Hallowe’en party. The guests were conducted through a chamber of horrors, where many interesting facts concerning their future were revealed to them, after which games were engaged in on the lawn, which was lighted by genuine jack-o-lanterns and the silver moon. From the witches kettles a stew was served which excelled any that witches brewed, while the pumpkin pie might well have graced a Thanksgiving table, and the crusty doughnut and rosy apples completed a most enjoyable repast. After a grand parade of those costumed the judges awarded a prize for the most original Hallowe’en costume to Miss Margaret Conner, and a second prize to Miss Mary Swineford. Reluctant farewells were mingled with the wails of the ghosts and the happy guests turned their faces homeward. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The cottage was decorated with hearts, darts and cupids on February 14th, when the Juniors entertained the Seniors.
