Sponsoring a mammoth masquerade ball Thursday night, the Hotel Commander offers College students a bevy of real live pumpkins to adorn their broomsticks in celebration of Halloween Eve.

Presented under the auspices of the Carleton Club, the fracas will feature witches from Wellesley and Simmons, residents of Boston, and even a smattering of 'Cliffedwellers peering in at the windows. Stags are urged to come dressed as something more original than a college student, with mask as the absolute minimum, since an undisclosed prize will be awarded to the wearer of the most startling costume.

Ducats can be obtained at 14 Plympton Street this morning at 10:30 o'clock.
