Carnival Regally Moves Indoors Threats of rainy weather on October sev- enth demanded last minute changes in plans for Carnival ’72. On Friday afternoon before the carnival, students, under the supervision of the carnival chairmen, prepared the gym and cafeteria for the following day’s festivities. Boothes for games, shops, and white elephant sales were assigned to the gym while the food booths were set up in the cafeteria. Months prior to the carnival, faculty sponsors, Mrs. Helen Bohart and Mrs. Barbara Pickering were hard at work making plans for the day. More rides were in operation this year, including a merry-go-round, ferris wheel, train, plane, aerial swing, a fire truck, and ponies. Special guest appearances were made by Ronald McDonald and Sgt. Joe Cifala. Raffles were held for a used car and a motorcycle, courtesy of Falls Church Chrysler- Plymouth and Cycles Inc. The soccer team gave demonstrations all day on the muddy field outside the school. Assorted goodies were sold by various clubs including French and German pastry, tacos, foreign breads, and pizza from Hector’s. Most of the classes, clubs, and organizations did not make the financial profit they had in past years. However, the weather failed to dampen the spirits of carnival -goers, and ev- eryone seemed to enjoy the day. 28
