CARNIVAL HIGHLIGHTS The 1948 carnival is a day to be long remembered by all the students of Austin-Cate Academy. It had been planned that the carnival would start January 30 at 7:00 P.M. with a basketball game at the Town Hall, but at the last moment, the game had to be postponed because of weather conditions. On the morning of January 31, it was still quite cold, but many of the students arrived to take part in the activities. The events began by sliding and toboganning on neighboring hills and skating on Scrrb ner's pond. At twelve o'clock everyone went to the Town Hall to eat box lunches. In the afternoon the temperature had risen a few degrees and many of the other students came to take part in the afternoon and evening events. The afternoon program included snowshoelng, ski- ing, and skating contests. That proved to many of us that Austin-Cate has real talent. The first prize in snowshoeing was taken by Carolyn Foss of the freshman class, and, first prize in skating by Donald Yeaton also a freshman. The skiing was very good. The first prize in downhill skiing went to a sophomore, Wesley French, for the boys' race and to Theresa Foss a Jun- ior, for the girls. The first prize in the slalom race went to Peter Brasse a sophomore, and second prize to Wesley French. The most interesting of the skiing events was jumping, with Wesley French taking first prize by a Jump of forty-eight feet and forty feet making a total of eighty-eight feet. In addition to the skiing contests, Mr. Uolby, our sports lnstruc- tor, gave us a demonstration of how an expert does it and Mr. Cohen showed us what courage can do. At six o'c1ock everyone went to Thomas Hall for a very tasty supper put on by the senior class. The evening program began by a movie, 'Winter Carn1val', followed b a dance in charge of the freshman class. Y At nine o'clock, the climax welcoming the king and the as queen and Richard Johnson the day were awarded to the queen.
