-Y CLUBS FORMULATE
MANY PLANS FOR YEAR
Form Hi-Y Glee Club to Sing at the
Older Boys’ Conference
This Year
HALLOWE’EN PARTY IS PLANNED
At the meetings of the Hi-Y Clubs.
October 5 and 12, many activities were
planned. The main toi)ic for discus
sion at these two meetings was, “The
Boy and his School Life.” This prob
lem was taken up and discussed from
every angle.
Both chapters of the H-Y are work
ing together and if the good work con
tinues they feel confident that this
year’s work will ecli])se that of all
others. The boys have formed a Hi-Y
Glee Club, which will sing at the Old
er Boys’ Conference in AVinston-Salem.
They are also jJanning a play to he
given during “Father and Son’’ week.
At the last meeting :i Hallowe’en party
was j)lan led.
THE GREATEST TIME OF THE YEAR
“Come right over this way and get
our hot dogs, candy, cigars, cigarettes
and pop-corn!”
“Get you a baby doll! Ten cents a
throw I Come right over, boys, try
your chance; get your girl a baby.’’
■And then there are side shows of all
kinds. In one corner you hear a little
fellow crying, “Come right over her
and see the big race of the monkeys I
Step right up and get a ticket to the
big races I”
And on and on we go through the
midway, just as it was last year, just
as it has always been, but there is
something about the whole thing that
lures you on. 5yhen the last firework
has gone off, the last turn of the fer-
ris wheel has been made, and the last
weinie sold for the day, there is some
thing sad about your feelings. Al
though you may be tired and you feel
all in, there is that feeling that it will
he a long year before all this may he
enjoyed and you leave the Fair gate re
luctantly.

waiters wanted more money the taxis
in Paris Avere A’ery cheap,” said Miss
McAlister. Ea'cu the ushers in the the
aters expected to be tipped.

places A’isited and the ones that espe

Victory” at the Louvre Avas the most
inptressiA'e sight she savA'. The army
at Monoco Avas very interesting.
The people and' their customs Avere
A'ery different in cA-ery country. Some
l)arts of Rome Avere like a modern city,
Avhile some i)arts Of ancient Rome yet
remained. The school of mosaics in
the Vatican Avas very interesting. It
takes a person a long time, sometimes
as long as a year, to make only a small
pictxire. but Avhen finished it is Amry
beautiful and lasts foiawer.
The people at Florence sing at night,
and this is very delightful, but they
ahvays have flashlights to look for the
mone.v throAvn them.
