The Spirit of Halloween.
Halloween has again been safely
passed. With the masquerade at
Chaudoin and the extra force of deputies about the town, but little mischief was attempted. Some regret it
exceedingly. For another whole year
they must wait before they can show
their glorious heroism. They feel that
they have been cheated out of something, and were not given a fair
chance. What splendid courage it
must take to boldly slip up to a house
when the inmates are quietly sleeping,
steal the chairs and settees from the
veranda and hang them up on a telephone pole! In comparison with the
charge of the noble Six Hundred is
the valiant assault on a front gate,
which, before it is given a chance to
squeak, is wrenched from its hinges
and borne silently away amid the
storm of peaceful snores from the windows and the contented purring of the
household cat. We glory in the spunk
of such manifest heroism which over
'turns woodsheds, carries off wagons,
signs, etc., and would recommend brass
buttons and green caps for the noble
participants.

The Summerlin Institute.
The boys from Summerlin Institute,
Bartow, who came here last Saturday
to play a game of football with the
Stetson Reserves, were a fine body of
young fellows and reflected credit upon the High School they represent.
Prof. R. B. Huffaker, the principal,
accompanied his boys and, as a spectator, took an active interest in the
game. He had coached the boys and
had taught them to play clean football
and to deport themselves as gentlemen. The Professor has been remarkably successful at Bartow in
creating enthusiasm among the boys
for the completion of their high
school course, and an unusually large
percentage of the students enrolled in
the Summerlin Institute are ooys.
Prof. Huffaker has made the work appeal to the boys and h«# done this
without lowering the standards. He
has sent two good young men from the
'08 graduating class to Stetson this
year to enter the Freshman class, one
in the College of Technology and one
in the College of Liberal Arts, and
they give evidence of thorough training. It is a source of great gratification to all who are interested in higher
education in Florida to note the activity of an increasing number of good
high schools in all parts of the State.
More than twenty-five of the Florida
high schools have sent one or more
representatives to Stetson this year.
Many of these, to be sure, are not prepared for college, but in raose cases
they are serious, hard-working students who have set their aim high and
are, therefore, willing to take a place
in the academy grades rather than -to
enter the College department of some
institution which does not maintain recognized college standards.

Y. W. C. A. Notes.
The Y. W. C. A. of last Thursday
v/as led by Miss May Gregory, one ot
the delegates to the Asheville Conference. Miss Gregory made the "why" of
mission study very clear to us, giving
some of her experiences in mission
study classes at the Conference. The
message was most helpful and I trusi
will be an inspiration to all who heard
it
The football game last Saturday between the team from Summerlin Institute and the Reserves was the
closest game played so far on the Stetson field. For the greater part of the
time the play was in Stetson's territory and the plucky Seconds played
hard ball, which is shown by the way in
which they kept the score down. Fumbles and off-side plays with the accompanying penalties were characteristics
of the game throughout.
Raymond Spaulding, thre right-half
for the reserves put up a fine game,
and his sure tackle's probably saved
the goal line from being crossed more
than once. Capt. Wright won the toss
and chose the kick-off and Capt. Tilha
of the Reserves decided to defend the
west goal. Bartow kicked off to Huffaker on the 25-yard line and tackled
before the ball was returned. Bennett
through guard for i yard and Blan-
chard round end for 2 yards and
Spaulding punted 15 yards. Bartow's
first play made 8 yards, but on a fumble the Reserves secured the ball.
Spaulding made a pretty run of 30
yards. The next play failed to gain,
and Bartow got the ball on a fumble.
Bartow made 5 yards through the line
and a forward pass gained 16 yards.
The next two plays failed to gain and
Bartow was penalized 5 yards for being
off-side. A forward pass was received
by Spaulding, who returned 15 yards.
Stetson's ball in middle of field.
Bennett gained 3 yards through the
line and Tillis lost 7 and again the
Reserves punted. Snedegar pulled off
a pretty 25-yard run around one end
and Wilson around the other end for
15 yards. On a fumble the Reserves
got the ball on their 16-yard line.
Three line plays made but eight yards
and it was Bartow's ball. Bartow was
penalized 5 yards for an illegal formation. It was at this point that Snede-
