AIYUKPA O A I947 SENIOR CARNIVAL The evening of February 8, 1947, found the High School gymnasium gayly decorated a Carnival Hall. Bright colored streamers and merry music set the scene for every0ne's happy mood. People entering the door were greeted with handfuls of confetti and the blaring of horns and whistles. Vlfonderful prizes were given for Bingo, Ring Toss, Dart Board, and Fish Pond. One could amuse himself by pitching pen- nies or having his fortune told. And if you listened intently you could hear squeals of delight and laughter echoing from the Fun House. Mouth-watering eats of hot. dogs, pop, ice cream, potato chips, popcorn, coffee and doughnuts enticed people to forget their diets. One could relax and chat with his friends in the dining room which, when closely inspected, was revealed as the shop room. Votes for the King and Queen, and tickets for the ratfle and dance, were sold at the ticket booth near the entrance of the ballroom. At 10:00 o'clock came the opening bars of the first dance number of the evening. Happy couples danced to and fro to the lively rhythm ot' the local orchestra. The Grand March, starting at 11:00 o'clock, was led by the Carnival Queen. Jo Ann Asfalg, and Carnival King, Carl Kerbs. The Queen and her attendants were attired in pastel formals and crowns of white carnations. The King and his attendants were suits and carnation boutonnieres. The closing triumph of the march was the releasing of the hundreds of balloons from the center of the ceiling. At 2:00 o'clock, tired but happy people made their way homeward after a hilarious evening. This was quite an undertaking for the Seniors, but proved to be successful both financially and socially. kfN JUNICDR RROM The tenth of May found the Junior Rose Prom, in honor of tl1e Seniors. held at the community building.
