HUNTLY NEWS

HALLOWE’EN SOCIAL A most successful and enjoyable Hallowe’en social was held in the Presbyterian Sunday School Hall, Huntly, which was appropriately decorated with witches, black cats, ghosts, skulls and bats. The guests were met as they entered the hall by three witches, who introduced them to two very large ghosts with clanging chains. The whole atmosphere was most realistic and weird. The programme was in the capable hands of Mrs G. A. Shaw and her committee. The programme consisted of various items, principally of a Scottish nature, competitions, games and sketches. A burlesque, “Wild Nell,” w T as exceptionally thrilling, those taking part being Miss D. Gibb, Miss B. Kinson and Miss I. Knapper, and Messrs T. M. Shaw, T. A. Shaw and R. Shaw. The shadow pictures were also very good. Other items were rendered as follows: Trios, Messrs M. Penman, W. M. Shaw and G. A. Shaw; songs, Misses K. Salter, D. Gibb and L. Kinson, and Mr M.
