GOBLINS, WITCHES RIDE RAMPANT
Spooks and Fortune Tellers Hidden By Corn Stalks
The Halloween Carnival, spon--
sored by the Student Government,
last Frida}’, was a huge success.
The gym was decorated with corn
stalks, leaves and candles Pum
pkins cut into various and sundry
gol^lin heads ])eered from behind
booths, screens, and leaves. At
one end of the gym the orchestra
was ])laced. Each member was
in Halloween costume, and the
music made all the spectators
dance' around, with and without
partners.
The walls and corners of the
building were lined with booths,
d'o the right of the door, on en
tering, ^vas the Coca-Cola l)ooth.
There ice-cold do])es were wait
ing for the thirsty. Mary Ivey
.Smith urged the girls to indulge
in the “];)ause that refreshes"
while Sally Cunningham took in
the nickels.
Next to this, came the apples,
'fhere girls bobbed for ap])les
on strings and Ruth Currie told
them when they had sufficiently
bitten one to get it for good.
The wonder of wonders was the
lortune-teller, Madame X. Annie
Be'le Smith had charge of the
c-utside, but what was said and
done behind the screen is a deep,
dark secret.
The Alpha Kappa Gamma booth
was next. There Mafalda Wilson,
Fannie Martin. Aliriam Dameron
and Frances Johanson served the
hungry crowd with hot dogs. And
—these hot dogs had onions,
mustard, and tomato relish on
them. The way they sold seemed
to testify that they were simply
“delish."
On down the line was the ice
cream pail. There was a crowd
around this place, too, all of the
time. Dot Edmonson, and Sara
A’aHace sold vanilla and Choco
late ice cream cones as fast as
they could scooi) the cream out.
.-Vnother a]i])le hazard was at
that end of the room. This was
a tub of water with apples float
ing in it, and the girls liobbed
after these apples at the risk of
their makeu]) and entire costume.
Most girls came up smiling,
though wet, with an ajiple prize.
The iieanut venders v.-ere Agnes
DeBusk, Julia Bynum, and Anne
Dinty. fl'here wasn't a jreanut
left at the end of the evening,
fl'he feature of the occasion was
the lialloon dance. Each couple
had one lialloon tied to the fol
lower's ankle. The object was to
kee]) ain'one from popping your
balloon, but to pop everyone else’s.
iMiriam Dameron and Ruth Beaty
won. Fauces Johanson was
Miriam's first iiartner, l)ut she
was suddenly called from the
dance floor and Beaty had to take
her ]^lace. A grand prize of one
bag of i)eanuts was awar led to
the winners.
The Day Students came out and
brought their “])ep'' with them;
tliat was one of the reasons the
carnival went over so big. An
other was the supjiort given by
the faculty; and still another, and
jierhaps the most important was
the untiring efforts of the Student
Council, headed by Margaret Lil-
lard and followed up by the Day
Student Council, Boarding Coun
cil. and Cabinet, It proved quite
a novel evening for evervone.
Weiner Roast Is
Given To Juniors
Class President Entertains
The Junior Class was enter
tained at a delightful “Weiner
Roast," Tuesday night, October
27. The enjoyable affair was
given by Jane Renfrow, who is
president of her class, at her
home on Lawyer's Road about
five miles east of Charlotte. The
girls were accomjmnied by Miss
Cordelia Henderson, sponsor, and
by Dr. Green. About forty guests
were present.
■ V big fire was built beside a
brook in an open space in the
woods back of Jane’s home. The
guests enjoyed weiners, mustard,
slaw and hot coffee. A masked
>\'psy fortune teller was present
and told real fortunes. Then
“sjjooks" appeared on the scene
and caused much merriment
among the guests. Various games
were played and stunts were
given.

Byrd’s Students Once a Week

of the rules of the Southern Asso
ciation to which the college is
applying for membership is that
no professor be allowed to teach
