At 11 o'clock the party adjourned. <br> Pansy Grey-Oh, you Calcamine. <br> A very enjoyable time was spent the evening the Sophs entertained Seniors. The room was profusely decorated in pennants. Games and various other magical stunts were enjoyed. Refreshments were served and after a few other games were playd [played], the party broke up, every one nthusd [enthused] with the enjoyable time spent. <br> One of the most enjoyable events of October was the Hallowe'en party, given by the Faculty to the Students. The decorations were very appropriate, the walls being adorned with black cats, witches, skullheads and other unique drawings. The effect was increased by the dim light which was furnished by the jack-o'-lanterns in the nooks and corners of the hall. The ghostly hosts entertained very pleasantly in accordance with their costumes. On the whole, the evening was a pronounced success, and the guests retired, feeling that they had been delightfully entertained. <br> There was a young lady named Fitz, <br> Who heard a loud snoring, at which<br> She took off her hat<br> And found that her "rat" <br> Had fallen asleep at the "switch." <br><br> During vacation the students in the boarding department gave a midnight feast Thursday night. All reported a good time. No one seemed to feel the effects the following day. <br> Don't slap at every bee that buzzes by. Keep too busy to notice them and the chances are you'll never get stung. <br> Vera Mork-Noodles <br><br> A mock trial was held during the Thanksgiving recess. Miss Moore was charged with giving an apple away and taking it back.
