GOLD HILL TO PLAY TALENT FOOTBALL TEAM FRIDAY This Friday afternoon the Beaver football squad goes to Talent where they play a conference game with the team from there. Last Friday the Gold Hill boys lost to Phoenix on the home field by a score of 26 to 0. The locals broke into the win column Tuesday afternoon of this week when the Gold Hill second team defeated the Hogue River sec onds by a score of 16 to 12. Jim Martin who has been out of the games this year due to injuries went into the game twice just long enough to kick goal for the extra points. What’s In a Name Costume Party Honors Faculty This Thursday Teachers of the Gold Hill school will be honored at a hard time cos tume party at the I.O.O.F. lodge hall this Thursday evening, start ing at eight o’clock, when a large crowd is expected to gather for an evening of fun. All patrons of the district are invited to attend who are not students in the school at the present time. Each lady attend ing is to bring a pie and refresh ments will be served at the close of the evening. The party is in the form of a hard time masquerade and every one is urged to wear a costume if possible. The Halloween motif will be carried out in the decorations. Six Gold Hill organizations are co operating to give the party and ev ery adult who is interested in the school is urged to attend. Sponsor ing organizations are the Garden Club, Women’s Relief Corps, Odd Fellows lodge, Rebekahs, Gold Hill Grange and the Ladies Aid of the Methodist church. Plans have been completed for an interesting program with each of the sponsoring organizations giving a stunt. Musical selections will be given during the program. The rest of the evening will be taken up in games and stunts. Prizes for the best costumed man and woman and booby prizes in both groups will be given. There will also be prizes for some of the other events. This is the third annual party for the teachers which has been given by joint-cooperation of the Gold Hill organizations and judging from the large crowd which enjoyed the affair in the past two years the lodge hall will be filled to capacity thisTfiursday evening. Too much we guess, because some of those mentioned in last weeks ad certainly didn’t know it for we know they would have been in for their Five Dollars worth of Green Stamps. Those wtfose names were included in the Hash were Lasodow Reptile Kilnica, as Delos Walker; Romlich Shofasew Nelles, as Florence Howes; Tanor Decater Neghim as Edna Gorham; Texelis Medirol Hucculs as Lucille Chism. For the benefit of those who have not found the missing link if they can figure out the extra word, We’ll still give you Three dollars worth of Green Stamps. Owing to the interest that is evi dent in this kind of a contest and (owing to interest shown* in our place of business by numbers of people) for fun we will have an- oth contest next week very similar to the one past, but there will be more prizes. So if you haven’t en tered your name ge, i, in by Mon Recreational Meetings day night.
