HALLOWEEN PARTY ATT ATTENDED BY 500 BOYS SATURDAY Over 500 boys, a record-breaking crowd, took part In the Hallowe'en jollifications held Saturday afternoon and evening at the Y. M. C. A. building with Perry Wilson, the boys' secretary as ring leader. The lobby was very attractively decorated in black and orange crepe paper ribbons, black cats with hunched backs, solemn black owls, grinning black witches, great bunches of corn stalks, and sprays of bright colored autumn leaves. Activities in the afternoon were held In the lobby, the boys' department, and the swimming pool. Contests and games formed the entertainment in the afternoon, which were watched and taken part In, by about 300 boys. Bond Makes Record Swim. One of the most exciting stunts held during the afternoon was one in which eight gold fish were let loose in the swimming pool which the boys were supposed to catch. The boys who tried this stunt were divided into two groups and great difficulty was experienced by the swimmers, and huge enjoyment by the onlookers as the boy3 dived and swam after the elusive gold fish. Archie Brehm, of the first group (which numbered 75 boys), caught the first gold fish. Findlay Bond caught the first and only gold fish caught in the second group in less than three minutes. There were 55 boys in this group. These boys received a one dollar .bill as a prize. Bond made another spectacular act when he swam under water in the pool for feet. Perry Wilson thought that this breaks the present record in Indiana in this event. Evening Masqueraders Have Pie-Eating Contest At 6:30 Saturday evening, the evening masqueraders began to troop into the "Y" lobby. From that time, the fun began, everybody began to try to guess everybody else. About an hour later everybody went to the gym where all sorts of contests and races were held. For these contests, prizes of candy, all day suckers and huge sticks of candy, to the winners. The biggest event of the evening was the pie-eating contest. There were six big, thick, juicy raspberry pies to begin with. Twenty-four boys were picked out from among those present and placed before the pieces of pie, witlf their hands tied behind their backs, and then came the scrimmage. Charles Evans won the contest, and re ceived therefore a large stick of candy. And he said he didn't like pie! Apples were served during the evening. J. H. S.
