je? QQCLJ Nlan the capstanl Unfurl the sails! We're off to New Orleans and that gay, colorful carnival-- the far-famed Mardi Gras. So were the shouts of the Sophomores as they set out to attend the annual Sophomore Party, the first big event in their high school careers. Of course, it was only a take-oFf on the New Orleans Mardi Gras, but it certainly seemed like the real McCoy, as the gym was transformed into a gay riot of color and pageantry. Wherever one turn- ed, he saw clowns, myriads of great purple, green, and red devils, monkeys, ghosts, and ghastly skeletons. Colonial gentlemen passed through the streets with masked ladies. Night riders and jokeys paraded through the crowds. Harlequins amused the audience with droll tricks. Demure ballet girls and gay Spanish se- noritas danced to the captivating rhythm of the musicians. At the climax of the evening King Rex rode through the crowds in his royal chariot to meet his queen and both were crowned before the cheering throngs. The royal couple, who had been chosen by their fellow classmates, then led the dances and musical games which followed. The class advisers and officers very ably planned and directed the work which made the party such a success. They were assisted by var- ious committees. The decoration committee, un- der the direction of Miss Blanche Hutto, was made up of Connie Harrison, chairman, Russell Sunday, Mary Lou Feller, Mary Current, Ilo I-Iirschman, and Rose Marie Vogel. Elmer Kahl was in charge of entertainment. He was assisted by Julia Kaser, James Steiner, Martha Moon, Margaret Ann Meyer, and Jane Chenoweth. The committee in charge of invitations was headed by Juanita Drews. Others on her com- mittee were Fred Collins, Frances Weir, Marilyn 'Byerly, and Rose-Etha Brazy. In charge of refreshments were Martha Lee Wake, chairman, Pat Racht, Barbara Scudder, Herman Turner, Fritz'Kahl, and Martha Moel- lering. Mary Cleland was chairman of the reception committee. Assisting her were Jo Ann Schwartz, Betty Schweikhart, Joan Brubaker, Jeanne Seidel, and Colleen McCarty.
