T otten Class A c tiv ities S ophomore : The Sophomores held their party in the YW Room, and Protestant Chapel which were decorated in a Halloween manner. Most of the evening was spent in dancing, both old-time and modern steps, and games were a part of the entertainment, too. The most popular of the games was “ Wink 'em .” George Comenote was a popular entertainer, singing several songs. The guests came in mas querades that were both humorous and unusual. S en io rs : The Seniors held their Halloween party in a gayly decorated room in the Catholic Church. Members of the class who came in dis guise, provided many laughs with their humor ous masquerades. Several games were played, “ Posing” being the favorite, in which couples “ posed” for hu morous “ pictures.” Dancing was the order of en tertainment. After refreshments were served, be cause Father Time waits for no one the party had to cease, with protests from all those present. J uniors : The Juniors enjoyed their Halloween party immensely, although no goblins, witches, nor ghosts appeared as masqueraders.Their party was held on the lower floor of the Catholic Church. The room was decorated with Halloween pump kins, cornstocks and crepe paper. Games were played, and “ Picking up Beans” was the favorite with most of the guests. S pecials : The tailor shop was the scene of the Specials’ party. Although none masqueraded, all the guests had a grand time. The evening was spent playing games and dancing to the music of a radio furnished by Mr. James. “ Lemonade and Rin Tin T in ” proved to be the most enjoyable games; some riddles furnished a great deal of humor. For refreshments the specials sipped cider and ate “ more Doughnuts” furnished by Mr. Mason. Before the guests realized it, the evening had slipped swiftly by and it was time for ‘lights o u t’ and ghosts elsewhere, perhaps in dreamland. F reshmen : The gymnasium, with eerie look ing pumpkins lit by candles, was the place of Halloween m erry-m aking for the Freshmen class. Most of the guests arrived in humorous masquerades, and prizes of candy were awarded to George Walters and Flora Bearchild for the funniest costumes. -------y------- Chapel Program The Chapel program last Sunday, was held in honor of Mr. Rex Putnam of Salem. Opening the program everyone arose, gave the flag salute and sang “ The Star Spangled Banner.” The orchestra then played the processional, fol lowed by an Electric Guitar solo by Mr. Doerksen, which was very good. The Choir sang a special number called, “ Valley of Memories.” The or chestra again favored the audience by playing a classical number. Mr. Putnam, the guest speaker, was introduced by A rthur Shilo, our program chairman. Mr. Putnam started his talk with a few humorus re marks, which \the group enjoyed. The more se rious part of his talk was about our flag. He told how and when our flag was started, how it has grown and that it is still growing. The stu dents were delighted to know what our flag was made of. He also explained why the flag has been called“ Old Glory,” and “ The Star Span gled Banner.” In closing he said, “ Remember that the flag shows each individual ’ s personality. ’ ’
