ORANGE AND BLACK Junior-Senior Banquet ■« The banquet given by the Juniors in honor of the Class of ’21 was to be given on Friday, April 15, but was given the following evening, as April 15 was the opening night of “Mikado,” the home talent show given by the Elks. The guests upon ari’iving were received by some of the Junior girls in the reception room, which was fixed with enough furniture to make it cozy. As Hester Porr played the grand march, the banqueters marched to the dining room, which was decorated in the high school and Senior colors. Orange and black and purple and gold streamers hung from the center to all parts of the room. A row of pennants covered the north and east walls and purple and gold streamers formed the west wall of the room. At the south wall was the emblem of the Senior class pin in orange and black. The program and menu cards were in Senior colors as were also the place cards. The banquet table was beautifully appointed in white linen, silver and cut glass. The banquet was served by twenty Sophomore and Freshman girls attired in white middie suits. The banquet was a success and will be an occasion long to be remembered by those who attended.

ORANGE AND BLACK Junior Class Notes 8? It was in the fall of nineteen-twenty that the best-ever class entered the F. C. H. S. as Juniors. At our first class meeting the following officers were elected: Xenia Fouts........................President Ruth Goldner..................Vice-President Francis Yoder....Secretary-Treasurer The Junior classes are said to be noted for their wise selection of class sponsors, and so it was with us, Miss Beckett being chosen. We take this opportunity to thank her for the help she has given us throughout the year. At the beginning of the second semester, our president entered the Senior class and Russell Pollard was elected to fill the vacancy. On November nineteenth we gave a party at the High School in honor of the Senior class. A program was given in the assembly room, after which a luncheon was served in the gymnasium. The Nebraska City and Falls City football teams were guests. This year we were well represented in athletics. Six Juniors won their letter in football: Murray Whitford, Lorene Buising, Joe Uhlig, William McCool, Earl Sherritt and Russell Pollard. For the girls’ basketball team we furnished two of the stars, Bessie Parsons and Ethel James, and on the boys’ team, Murray Whitford, Lorene Buising, William McCool and Russell Pollard. The boys won the class championship by defeating the Seniors by the score of 50 to 29. The programs given by members of the Junior class at different times during the year were thoroughly enjoyed by the entire High School. We feel that we made a very good selection in our class rings and pins. The Seniors acknowledge them to be better looking than theirs. To the Seniors we extend our best wishes for a happy and prosperous luture. We are looking forward to our last year in the F. C. H. S. as the one of most importance, so we shall return full of pep and ready for work. R. P. Seniors, Freshies, Sophomores, No! Juniors, Juniors, all the go; Juniors, Juniors, well I guess, We are the leaders of the rest! Page Seventeen
