Sarah Sawyer was general chairman, and others heading committees were Hallie Townes, Jean Hunt, Nancy Murchison, and Frances Fish, with Class President Martha Ann Speight, supervisor. The Juniors went dressed in sheets, and sto>od in a ghostly circle around the darkened Gymnasium to re ceive the guests. After everyone had come in and the ghosts had disported themselves upon the other with eerie shrieks, sepulchral groans, and funeral flappings of their flimsy garments, the lights were turned on, the ghostly noises subsided, and the ghosts were able to perceive the splendor and variety of the girls’ costumes, while the guests were able to appreciate the attractive decorations of leaves, cornstalks, jack-o’-lanterns, and orange and black crepe paper. There was a parade of the costumed guests around the Gymnasium floor, and the judges awarded first prize to the Savages (Sallie London Fell and Sylvia Cullum), second prize to the Plantation Wedding (Tudie Neff and Letitia Knox as Bride and Groom, Anne Shook as Minister, Helen Noell and Patsy Jones as pickaninnies, Polly Bates as Ring Bearer). Honorable mention was given to Grendel and his Mother (admirably imper sonated by Louise Jordan and Jean Miller). Other outstanding costumes were Sallie MacNider, Carolyn Miller, and Betty Beasley as the Marx Brothers, and Miss Stuart and Miss Harvey as Olive Oyl and Popeye. Refreshments were peanuts and candy. Then the booths, set up in the dressing rooms and billed as The Seven Wonders of the Modern World, including the spectacular Green Goose Exhibit, the Siamese Twins, and the Chamber of Horrors, were opened. At the same time. Miss Digges, dressed in an impressive gypsy costume, began to tell fortunes in the Gymnasium office. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and the party broke up at nine-thirty, reluctantly.
