TOWN GIRLS GIV HALLOWEEN PA RTV 11 The Mad Hatters set the theme for the evening at the Hallowe'en Party last Saturday night when the Town Women entertained the campus. Jane Taft, social chairman for the Town Council, and Betty Linson, president, were in charge of arrangements, assisted by Maltilda Oostdam, Ruth Dentler, Roberta Morris, Alice Smith, and a large committee of Town Women. ' Carl Hulbert, Richard Sims, Bob Robertson, Lawrence Hartsfield and Melvin Hibbs were really "beating it out" when the program at the Stover Theatre began. Accompanied by the orchestra, Don Strong gave a rare exhibition of "trucking," "shagging," and "yamming." During the evening Delight Seig gave a Hallowe'en reading, to a cello rendition of "Orientale" played by Jean Botts. Charlotte Ferguson offered' the riotously ridiculous "Shropsey Topsy" in a most effective manner. Two pianists, Mauring Nichols and Virginia Douglass delighted their fellow students with modern piano selections, and Ruth Dentler gave, a xylophone interpretation of "Nona", to the enthusiastic audience. Frances" Arkley and Allan Spa- nier sang a duet "Sympathy," and a quartet, composed of Helen Mac- Elmurray, Peggy Wood, Elisabeth Bostic and Elisabeth McGinnis sang "What Goes On Here." The party continued in the Cummings Gymnasium, appropriately decorated with corn stalks, big orange pumpkins, and streamers. Here the guests found Hallowe'en games and: stunts awaiting their attention, and either enjoyed them or enjoyed watching their more ambitious or daring fellows deport themselves. The finale in the evening's entertainment was held in the Stetson Commons where the guests were served cider and doughnuts, by girls in orange and black cat (Continued on page 5) ' SHOW PRESENTED IN STOVER THAETRE Grace Ahlers will represent Pi Beta Phi in the Swimmmg Pool Benefit. TETSONBAND LAYS AT HALF Frances McGarrah Leads Musicians; Foo And Goo Vie For Position Miss Frances MacGarrah, the gal who so ably.struts the Stetson Band about,; was questionably aided at the Erskine game by Foo, a neat and graceful drum major, and Goo, another drum major whose ability was exceeded -only by his indispositon. The green-clad clowns had a little difference between themselves and band leading which^was soon displaced in their interest by various attempts to satisfy their honor. The most ancient and the most modern methods were employed, from the formal presentation of weapons from challenged to challenger, to the decidedly informal application, without due notice, of the well known foot in the well known place. The boys had plenty of enthusiasm as socks on the head were plainly audible to fans in - the bleachers. As a grand finale they unfurled a large Stetson banner and ran from the field. Foo was Tom Morris who is already known to Stetson students as an accomplished gymnast and tumbler. Mac McEmber was Goo and the antics of the two of them kept the stands, amused for much of the half time interlude. The band, under the direction of John J. Heney, executed some intricate and„difficult maneuvers. A little trick of the cheer leaders deserves mention, the one in which "Sandy" Cunningham and "Dirty .Shirt" Strong did flying somersaults over the other two (and fairer) cheer leaders, Theda Johnson and Lois King.
