Cliffside Youths Honored by Girls


Cliffside youths honored by girls. Football team is given Halloween party by gentler sex of  Senior class at the high school. November 1, 1927.

Cliffside, Nov. 1—The Cliffside High School building was a scene of hallowe’en merriment and gaiety last night when the girls of the Senior class gave a party in honor of the members of the football squad. Everyone was dressed in Appropriate costumes for the occasion, so many ghosts, spooks, demons, witches and other varieties of spirits supposed to be abroad on the Eve of All Saints Day were to be seen as they entered the doors of the school buildings. The famous line of Dante, the great Italian poet, “Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here” was not placed above the doors for it would not have been true as all who did go to the party had a royal good time and would be glad to go again. Many games were played and one in particular was much enjoyed. It consisted of taking the guests, blindfolded through the large building, making them take many turns and twists and then leaving them in lonely spots.

Faculty Are Guests
The faculty of the high school were invited to attend and among them were B. P. Caldwell, Superintendent of Cliffside and Avondale schools, C. A. Denson, the Principal of the High School, Broadus Simmons, H. E. Beatty, Miss Helen Thompson, Miss Sara Lou Jenkins, Miss Mary Love Davis and Miss Beulah Heaffner. Mr. B.P. Caldwell was asked but owning to a slight indisposition was unable to attend. The Senior girls who gave the party were Misses Selma Debrule, Hazel Cantrell, Fern Pruette, Amore Robertson, Lillian Smith, Mae Greene, Glenn Kiser, Vera Summey, Lillie Atchley, Marie Jackson, Esther Allison, Sara Colvin and Margaret Haynes.

Football Squad And Others
