RICHMOND BOY LOYAL TO MAYOR ZIMMERMAN In a geography test held last - eek in one of the schools of ichmond, the question was sked: "Who is the reigning king i England, and who is president f the United States?" One boy gave the following nswer, which will probably be ews to many Juniors: "George is king of England, and Mayor '".immerman is president of the United States."

It's never new. Cats and witches howl around And frighten me and you. The ghosts come once a year iu whit1. And that comes the last October night. The Jack-o-Lantern makes us run, O wee, o wee, we have lots of fun. Oh, the suits they all are wearing Bo not look very much like fairies! There is Uncle Sam in his striped pants. Full of fun and ready to dance. Aunt Maria with her hoops and skirts. How she laughs and how she flirts! Charlie Chaplin in his turn outed feet. Lifts his hat and cane to everyone he meets. Uncle Josh with his coat and frill, Jumps and laughs till he cannot be still. Bald-headed clown with a red nose. Runs and jumps on peoples' toes. Kaiser Bill who never did right, Carried his sword and gun ready to fight. O Hallowe'en, that jolly night. The cats and ghosts that I have seen On Hallowe'en. By Betty E.stelle.

THE BOYS By ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE "Oh, the things that I have seen 0n the night of Hallowe'en," Said little Harry boy to me one day. "For you must stay up at night, If you want to get a fright At least that's what 1 heard my father say!" "But just as sure as Fate, When I want to be up late, My mother yawns and sends me off to bed. She says that I'm not bad, It's just because she's glad I'm too little to be running 'round instead. "But when she turned off the lights, I saw such funny sights That I sat up in bed and looked real hard! A horrid, grinning face. Stuck its head right in the place Where mother's dahlias grew out in the yard! "Just then a big white ghost. As tall as a lamp post. Walked right up to the window of my room! And a pumpkin without feet. Ran clear across the street! And danced a jig and whistled out of tune! "Then a great big bright red thing, All tied up with fiery string, Hopped up and down and pounded on the glass! And a devil dressed in black. Took and emptied a big sack Of something white all over our front grass! "Oh, my! But I was scared: I'd have hollered if I'd dared: And if I hadn't heard what mother said 'I Wish those silly boys Would s'op making so much noise! I'd like to spank and put them all to bed!'

Halloween Parties Monday afternoon, lrom 4 to ii, the High school gym will look like a regular corn field with its corn stalks and pumpkins. This is to be the setting tor the G. A. A. Masquerade party. All the girls will find out who will be their future fate on that evening,- as there will be two fortune telling booths. Hallowe'en games will be played. Pop coin balls (um-m, um-m!) and apples will be piled around, inviting the girls to take some of them.

SAMMY LIKES COMBINATIONS Sammy was not prone to overexertion in the classroom, therefore his mother was both surprised and delighted when he came home one noon with this announcement: "I got 100 this morning." "That's lovely, Sammy," exclaimed his mother, kissing him, "What did you make it in?" "Fifty in reading and fifty in Yithmetic." Lone Scout.
