Walloons, clowns color Carnival v 22 “Wow! This is strange! It i really feels like I’m floating in space. I think I ' ll go buy some more tickets so I can go on the Moon Walk again!” The Moon Walk, sponsored by the juniors, was a favorite which returned again this year at the annual Carnival held in the fieldhouse. Besides the Moon Walk, other games from the past :■ years were enjoyed by people of all ages. These booths in- cluded Project Biology’s Gold Fish Toss, the Freshmen Class’ Pie-Throwing Booth, Marching Band’s Basketball Throw, and Paragon ' s Pick-A-Pop. I Some new attractions that were added were Rifle Corps ' Feed the Shark, and the Kiss- ing Booth. The shark game was played by throwing bean bags into the jaws of a shark and it mainly appealed to the 1 children. The Kissing Booth at- ; traded all the eager kissers. For two tickets anyone could kiss whoever was in the booth. All together 1 8 booths were set up inside the fieldhouse. To promote the Carnival to the younger children, senior girls, dressed as clowns, invited all elementary students to attend by visiting their schools. Admission was 25 cents at the door. Carnival goers could then purchase tickets for 15 cents each or two for a quarter. Most games could be played for one or two tickets, but some clubs charged more, hoping to make a bigger profit. The Carnival, co-sponsored by the Junior and Senior Classes grossed approximately i $1,000, which was divided among the groups according to how much their individual booths made. The Junior Class showed the greatest profit booth-wise, while the seniors accumulated the most money by charging admission and sponsoring two concession stands. Carnival
