HALLOWE'EN IS HERE!
Community Ready for Celebration on
Saturday Night
Saturday evening, October 29th. Are
you frightened. It's no wonder, with
goblins and ghosts at largo, and the
sky filled with witches astride their
traditional broom-sticks. A body hardly
can take a step without coming face
to faco with a leering pumpkin head.
Seared? You bet I am! Still, it's
going to take more than a flapping of
bats' wings or the screech of an owl
to keep me and many others away from
tho fun in Sewickley on tho evo of
spirits good and bad.
Tho young men of the Phalanx Fraternity who last year were entrusted
by tho borough council with responsibility for our local celebration once
again have tho event under their
guidance. Recalling the success that
attondod their effort in 1937, it is not
too much to predict that this year's
affair ought to bo truly outstanding.
If the work that has beon put into tho
prosont plans counts for anything, thoro
can bo no doubt that Sowickloy and its
neighboring borough., Glen Osborne and
Edgeworth, aro about to share in a
truly onjoynblo evening.
The feature of tho evening will bo,
of course, tho parade, whose ranks will
bo formed in front of the Library on
Thorn Street. In this important task
of marshalling, the newly-formed Junior
Patrol will have a large share; numbers
for the marchers will bo distributed
at the same point. In the place of
honor at the head of the marching
mummers will ride the King and Queen,
chosen by popular vote from among
the students of the high school. He-
splendent in their royal robes and glittering crowns, they will reign over the
evening's festivities. Tho parade itself
will bo divided into threo groups —
boys and girls under ten years and boys
and girls from ten to sixteen yoars,
with tlie adult section bringing up the
rear, Special entries will follow the
adult section.
At exactly eight o'clock the marchers will start up Broad Street, and will
first go by tho reviewing stand, whore
many of the borough's loading citizens will judge the Costumes on tho
basis of all-around excellence. Three
grand prize of ton, five and three dollars in cash aro offered adult participants, Whilo tho younger onos will com-
poto for sixteen fine merchandise prizes.
Thoso splendid gifts aro on display at
Sloan's Pharmacy, and aro an expres
sion of their interest in tho celebration on the part of the borough's merchants and business houses.
Turning left on Beaver Street, the
merry throng will wend its way to
Blackburn Avenue, continuing up that
street, it will then proceed to Centennial and Straight, and turning right
will move to Beaver again — thence
to Broad Street past the stand once
more, and dismissing at the intersection
of Broad and Thorn Street.
Upon the dismissal of the parade,
tho great Bovinian impresario, Ivan
Basso Kadabblo will present a platform
program the like of which, I am assured by Mr. Kadabble himself, has
never been witnessed in this Valley.
In addition to ten contests for girls and
boys with prizes for every winner,
there will be a number of real vaudeville acts to delight young and old. In
tho course of the program, a vory special event will make some gentleman the proud possessor of a fine . . .
well, you just wait and sco. All these
things, you can easily sec, will make it
definitely worth whilo to bo among tho
crowds about the revicwing-stand.
The mysterious Mr. Phalanx, whoso
prosonco in our midst last year created
so intonso ail interest and enthusiasm,
lias promised to be on hand again this
Saturday evening. He has warned, however, that this year he will look very
different than he did in .1937. Tho formula for recognizing him is this—you
approach the person you suspect to be
Mr. Phalanx and say, "You arc Mr.
Phalanx." If that is the case (and
for you, it may be), Mr. Phalanx will
present credentials to identify himself,
and will escort you to the stand where
you will he. presented with a crisp
five-dollar bill. Sounds pretty simple,
doesn't it? And so it will be for tho
person who is willing to repeat the
magic sentence often enough. Mr. Phalanx, if approached in any other fashion, may deny his identity if he so
wishes. When properly approached, he
must admit his truo self.
Listen for the announcements from
tlio platform which will give clues as
to when this elusive gentleman may bo
found.
And now, something of especial interest to the boys and girls of tho Valley.
On Friday, teachers will give tho students up to and including tho eighth
in Glen Osborne, Sewickloy, and EdgO-
worth, sonio littlo paste-board tickets.
If you will keep this little ticket vory
carefully, and present it between 7 and
