Valentine Party
The pupils of the Blowing Rock
high school were entertained lasThursday
night with a Valentine
party, with their teachers us hosts,
and
Miss Surah Banner of the elementary
grades.
The place of the party was a deep
secret, hut all were told to gather at
W. C. Craig's store at eight o'clock.
Stewart Cannon reported that long
before thai hour the store was
crowded by a clamoring group demanding
to krsow where the party
was to be. Presently Mrs. Gillett
appeared and. told them that thoy
were to follow the white arrows
posted along the streets.
These arrows led the crowd along
the highway toward Bocne and in.o
the dark alley that runs behind the
Harked Inn. There, two hierhwav
m&w&TGene Story anil Rupert Gil-I
let!.) emerged from tlie shadows,
turned flashlights on \iio crowd, cx
pioded firecrackers, and called upon
all to stand and deliver. After a
dime had been collected from each
pupil, they followed the arrows to
the front of the school building
where they were instvue ed to call
for more light.
At this cry, the lights in the library
room were switched off, and
those in the town hali across the
street were switched on. Running
across the street, the pupils found
f the hall decorated with streamers
' and hearts, with Grover Rohbins, Jr.,
Sts Cupid and I.ovir.c fYevolie as
Psyche, armed with arrows to shoot
at the hearts of all nresent.
After an hour of Valentine games,
fifteen girls crossed the street to the
Mudge home and brought back
plates of sandwiches, 'cakes and
heart-shaped salads. These were
. passed around while coffee was
served from toe mayor's offic \ The
pi-.pus gave rousing cneevs lur rnucipal
Mudge, the inspirer of the
party, and to the other teachers. The
high school faculty expressed its
thanks to Mrs. Story and Miss Banner
and to Ambrose Underdown for
Their help in carrying out the evening's
affair.

"It seems obvious, then, that rais
