This program was well worth seeing and fplayed to capacity crowds on both performances. ' j ',. n df - f' V ' One by one,the booths had to close' because the prizes were all gone and tired merrymakers started for home. One booth that was popular all evening remained open long after the othens had to close. 'Bingo had been played by capacity crowds all night and still had some players who were trying for the grand prize, a radio. At long last Mr. Yarberry, Mr. Valentine, Mr: Allen and Mr. Mathews rang down the curtain with a last game of Bingo, on-a grand and gloriours-carnival.

An interesting and exciting Indian dance was presented by the second and third grades under the direction of Miss Frusher. ' L .' , , - - - young people and old people filled the gym to'a bursting capacity. The sides of the gym were lined with booths of all descriptions. A novelty game which was new this year was the WHorseARaceH booth with Wendell Terwilllger as'barker5. .A big new up right wheel was presented for'the first time this year under the efficient managership' of Mr. Crozier , with Cecil Lewis assisting as barker.'

The source seemed to be the Jhh1QTtC18B6 booth, managed by Miss Htrleman. The booth was well stocked with serpentine and confetti to add to the merriment. V We venture forth again pausing to toss our pennies on the new improved penny toss watched over by Lorraine Blanchard and Laurence Allen. The crowd gathered around another wheel. Mr. Coreer with his coat off worked hard to keep prized on the board., In the middle of the floor was a long line of men wait1ng,the1r.turn' to demonstrate their skill at shooting free throws..
