Afro Club Holds First Carnival and Ball The Afro Club sponsored a first in April - an Afro-Carnival and Ball. Booths were set up in the gym by various clubs and organizations in the school which paid an entrance fee of ten dollars. Some of these booths were: a fishing booth, a jail, a gold fish throw, a ring toss, and a kissing booth. Though the turn-out was much less then expected, some of thefclubs managed to make a little profit. Reverend Earp and the Deacons played for the small crowd at the Ball later that evening. The crowning of Linda Green as Queen of the Afro-Ball was the highlight of the evening. s if g ssll T 5 ig 2 s T tii- - Y L.: 'T 1 e ' is .
