Togas, Mothers And Decorations Require Time BR anquets Highlight Clubs’ Special Activities It’s about time we had our moment. All language students and F.H.A. members anticipated the events of their big highlight for the year — banquet day. It finally arrived but not without hours spent pre- paring the program and decorations. It all came off a great success with each of us experiencing the anxiety of performing before an audience of classmates and parents. The memories we acquired from these nights will linger and our imaginations are working now to create another season of banquets. Right: Preparation for the language banquet is supervised by Mrs. Smith (middle), while Suzy Davis gives suggestions and Debbie Osborne helps decorate.
