Place : Helen Shank’s. At 8 eiO a inerry crowd gathered at the home of Miss Shank. They wore led into the house by a ghost, and the receiving line was made up of ghosts with clammy hands, who emitted mournful sounds. The house was decorated with autumn leaves and Hallowe’en pumpkins. In one corner of the large front room an old witch held forth. The past, present and future was revealed to the guests by this mysterious dame. Then there was bobbing for apples, toasting marshmallow's and dancing to amuse the erow'd. Many of the girls were, dressed in costumes—Gypsies, Hulu maid ens, old-fashioned girls, Quakeresses and twin “Janes” in short dresses and socks romped together. About ten o’clock the party formed tor a grand march and w'ere led to the dining room. In the center of the table was a pumpkin filled with favors. At each place a ribbon led to the pumpkin. When this was pulled a box of candy came bobbing out of this original centerpiece. On the table there were several large plates of cakes and sandw'iehes, to which everyone was advised to help himself. Hot chocolate was served to those who were not in training for football or basket ball.

RECEPTION IN HONOR OF G. H. S. The G. H. S. football team was enter tained at a most delightful reception giv en by the Charlotte High School. The Charlotte boys gave a demonstration of their ability to entertain as well as play foot-ball. Games were played, progres sive conversation was the main feature of the evening. Many girls were present and the squad was made to feel at home. Later in the evening refreshments were served. After spending a most enjoyable evening, the Greensboro boj-s expressed their ap preciation of the knidness shown them and returned to the homes throughout the city at which they were visiting. City Commissioners, Greensboro, N. C. Gentlemen : Do you think that j'ou’d like j’our boys and girls to have to wade thru mud and slush in order to get to school in rainy weather? Why, of course j'ou say “No!” But think of it I All of us are your boys and girls. Here is what I want to saj-: Tliere are probablj' fifty' boys and girls who live in west Greensboro, south of the railroad (perhaps you’ve never noticed, but we have,) to wade thru mud up to their ankles in midwinter in order to get to HILL’S Bijou Theatre HOME OF HY-CLASS PHOTOPLAYS AND GOOD MUSIC Orchestra under direction PROP. BERT HALLAWBLL HILL’S Victory Theatre HY-CLASS MUSIC AND PICTURES school. I know there have been dozens who have done it before us. Times have changed! West Lee street has paved walks and so have most of the adjoining streets, but still we can’t get to Greensboro High School (unless we go sev eral blocks out of the way, and you know time counts in cold rainy weather) with out going a block or so thru mud. There are only two streets that have paved walks connecting West Lee and Walker avenue These are Lithia and Ashe. Now there are a great many boys and girls who live quite a distance from either of these streets and who have to go to G. H. S. The street that should be paved is South Spring. Winter before last, one of the sidewalks of this street was made of cin ders; but since the bakery and Lewis’ laun dry have been built, they' are covered with red mud. Probably you know' how this red mud is in w'est Greensboro. I have seen the time last W'inter when our overshoes would stick in the mud and come off. Now don’t you think that you could do a might.y good thing in having South Spring street paved from West Lee to Morehead avenue ? By doing so j'ou would increase the daily attendance of G. H. S. and, may be, save the lives of several girls and boys; for wet feet often cause pneumonia when best of all—do it! Please think over what I have said, and you have to stay in school with them all dav.
