It is commendable com-mendable more for the quality than for the large number present. Regulations, Reg-ulations, though few as posible, were agreed upon in the preceding assembly, assem-bly, and conspicuously posted in the hall. The committee and faculty are unanimous in a glowing admiration of the way in which the students supported sup-ported the movement. . Heartiest congratulations, boys and girls! One violation of the clause against intoxicated intoxi-cated persons afforded an example in the form of a ?23.00 fine in the Justice's Court. A good beginning, but a much better ending. On Tuesday evening the 31st, an avalanche of druids, devils, spooks, witches, cats, goblins, gnomes, muses, I demons, ghosts and spirits of the departed, de-parted, invaded the school building and reveled in complete sovereignity for hours. A noticeable fact was that the most unusual system and order or-der prevailed that ever originated in ghost-land. Among the gambols, spooks made hurried honey-moon trips; Greeks, gypsies, chinks, clowns and demons played "three deep;" magic fortunes appeared on paper and were told by palmistry; even the most stoic demons were put to fight in the "chamber of hcrrors." Grinning and austre Jack-o lanterns stood as silent sentinels throughout the hals. In pleasing conerast the school colors of purple and white hung in profuse festoons on every hand. Pocobontas anounced the following fol-lowing program in the assembly room: Selection by the school band. Double mixed quartette, "when the Frost is on the Pumpkin;" and the Belamy Quadrille, in which goblins danced a quadrille with clothing reversed re-versed and faces at the back. The evening closed with a few numbers of dancing, and all returned to their homes, sleepy but in high spirits. |
