Football Banquet Our football banquet, which was held at the American Legion Hall on Friday evening, December 1st, was a fitting climax for our Championship Team. The banquet is an annual affair and is underwritten for the players their guests and school officials, by the joint -Chambers of Commerce of Calipatria and Niland. This year, for the first time, parents were invited. The presence of ,those parents attending enhanced the spirit of the evening. Approximately 100 people -were seated a.t the long banquet tables which were cleverly decorated with hand-painted Cutouts in 'wood of football players as center pieces, flanked by tall yellow candles. The stage boasted a large drawing of a football player which contained the names of all the players. A much smaller picture, representing Coach Erickson, was a sculpter, with mallet and chisel, molding his team. At the other end of the banquet hall large pictures of the present and first cheer leaders were on the wall. Beside each plate was a clever place card -with a picture of a football being booted by a football-shoe clad foot. These placecards contained the menu, which was a delicious dinner serv- ed by members of the American Legion Auxiliary, and the program for the evening. Herman Howington as Captain of the Championship football team wel- comed the visitors and called upon the co-captain, Melchor Abubo, to say a few words. Howington also introduced the Homecoming Queen, LaRae Hubert, who took a bow and spoke of her appreciation of the honor be- stowed upon her. Paul W. Cook, Superintendent of Calipatria Schools, -was asked for a short talk and he expressed his pride in the record of the football team and the school spirit which had been shown all year by the students. Howington then introdluced the 15 Senior boys who have all been on Calipatria's first string this year. They were Melchor Abubo, Steve Benson, Paul Dumbrique, Raymond Harp, Duane Howland Herman Howington, Melton Huffman, Donald Jones, Charles McLaury, Jack Mer- rill, Haskell Nickell, Gilbert Rosas, Gene Sones, Jim Sparks and Rich- ard Thurman. Musical entertainment included a solo by Shirley Baird, who sang My Foolish Heart , and Joyce Henderson who sang La Vie En Rose . A short football skit participated in by four players game small footballs to the winners. To Dwight Lamb and Raymond Harp go congratulations for the hard work and cleverness of their art work toward the banquet theme and de- corations. And thanks to several others for their aid in coloring, decor- ating, etc. ' The Banquet was followed by a dance for the entire Student Body and guests.
