Hallowe’en passed off without any serious trouble last everting. There were practically no acts of depredations committed beyond the soaping of windows of business houses and a few minor offenses. Throngs of children paraded the streets, many of them made up in ridiculous costumes. The evening was marked by a number of parties given by private individuals and organizations. The junior class gave a party at the home of Bam Duvall, one of the class members, a feature of which was a bay rack ride over town. Miss Emily entertained a number of friends at her home with toasted marshmallows, followed by a hay’rake ride. The Girls’ Sew Club also had a party.
