' unv k-2 -7 .4 T ORP E D0 'P THE JUNIOR CARNIVAL The presenting of a Carnival seems to have become an annual event for the junior class, but it will be noted that the class of 192-1 started the cus- tom. As a usual thing the money obtained from this event is used by the Juniors to feed the Seniors at a banquet that is given every spring. VVe are told that the carnival this year will far outclass the one put on last year, but only time will tell. There are to be many and interesting attractions, some of which are to be side shows of various sorts, fishing ponds, fortune telling and the like. There is to be a stage erected, we are told, on which will be given a series of peppy vaudeville acts. Refreshments will also be there in abundance, awaiting some unheeding purchaser. Hot dogs are to head the bill of fare, while pop, pop corn and candy will come a close second. Clowns and Cops will be found there, doing their duty, kidding and arresting poor innocents that are brought before them. Last but by no means least on the schedule of entertainment, we are told, is in the shape of a clown band. This band is to furnish both jazz and high classtfj 'music for the benefit of the patrons of this carnival. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior-Senior banquet, put on by the junior class, will be held the first week in May. This banquet is the big social event of the school year, and is looked forward to by every class that enters High School. Each class tries to put on a better banquet than has ever been put on be- fore, and as a result, this event has become one of the main events of grad- uation. The Juniors claim, as every junior class has done, that this year the banquet will be the best ever put on. The entertainment is to consist of toasts by the various members of the two classes, music, and a short program of stunts.
