Three staccato raps were given and from We they were ushered to the upstairs. Upon entering the hall ghosts, pumpkins and black cats Were to be seen on all sides. These, Mended with the customary Hallowe'en colors, orange and black, made a very pretty spectacle. One of the most important features of the evening was the initiating of the freshmen. Each freshman was blindfolded and led into the hall by a ghost. At the order of the ghost the freshman was made to kneel and kiss the blarney stone. But alas! Each poor "fresh ie" received in place of the traditional witty tongue a face covered with soot, much to the enjoyment of the upper classmen. Each freshman was then presented with a small paper cap, which was to be worn thruout the evening. Numerous games were played and enjoyed by all. A grand march, led by the sophomore president, Miss Margaret Stenger, and Miss Eleanor Walsh, was next in order. During the march each guest was presented with a paper hat, each class receiving a style carrying out the color scheme of orange and black.

SopfcoaMre Hallowe'en Party Saturday evening, Oct.^ 29, will go down as one of the most enjoyable ever spent by the members of the McHenry community Mgh school. The Owing to tho fact that tfcwtfu are already nutt* a number of our peopie interested in the J. & W. company, which owns a large tract near Pinetown, N. C., the following clipping, taken from the Sept. 29 issue of the Washington (N. C.) Daily News, will undoubtedly be road with interest by many of The Plaindealer readers: "The J. & W. Land company of Pinetown had about twenty of their prospective land buyers in town yesterday. The party was conducted by E. R. Hoy, president of the oompany. They were taken to the First National bank, from whence Mr. Dumay, president of the bank, conducted them thru the tobacco warehouses,, where they witnessed the sale of tobacco. S. F. Freeman and Mr. Dumay then showed them our fine cement roads and the beautiful views that are obtained from the bridge across the Pamlico river. "A reporter of tho News interviewed the party and found than to be men and women from the Sucker state and people of high standing in their communities. John Conley, a prominent dairy farmer of McHenry county and a member of the board of supervisors of the county, expressed the sentiments of tRe entire party when he said that he was well pleased with his trip so far; that he was absolutely satisfied that a farmer in North Carolina was not only blessed with a fine climatic condition, but that he could make more money with loss effort than the Illinois farmer. "The J. A W. Land company has made wonderful progress in developing its large tract of 41000 tectes, known as the J. & W. tract. They have constructed about seventeen miles of canal and expect to install about eighty miles altogether. The men who have already invested are men of business ability and foresight and there is no question but that in a few years the Great Swamp, so-called, will be a veritable valley of Eden. The News welcomes these visitors and extends to them a hearty welcome and an invitation to not only invest their money here, but to make Beaufort county, with its beautiful climate, fertile sqil and hospitable inhabitants their future home. "Among the party were Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Hoy, Mr. and Mrs. John Conley, Theo. Hamer, Chet Osborn, Ed. Martin, Clinton Martin, Frank H. Wattles, W. J. Austin, Henry Bremer, Ben Prouty, E. R. Mcintosh, Harvey Kyle, W. W. Monear, all of McHenry county, Illinois. * 'These men are from the greatest dairy section in the United States and in their judgment eastern North Carolina offers better facilities for a stock and dairy country than anything they have seen."
