Then the high school was E 5 given the opportunity to vote on the proposition, and voted it to be carried 3 I out. Mr. Donovan then proceeded to the election of officers. Carrie Akers Q g was elected Business Manager. Then he divided the school into three teams, I I the school electing a leader for each and each team represented by different E g colored buttons.

E 5 As the clock struck seven, this group with the honored guests leading the Q 5 way descended the stairs. Classy music rendered by an orchestra served as f , an accompaniment. The music seemed to express the eagerness and fluttering g g anxiety of the Senior hearts.

The ceiling and walls had been covered with green branches, 5 g leaves, and fernery. Amid the green, Howers of all kinds were tucked. In a I I small adjoining room which served as an orchesra booth, the ceiling was E s lowered by means of greens and flowers in such a way as to form a canopy. f 1 japanese lanterns and paper-covered lights hidden among the green sent soft s R shadded rays to all parts of the garden. Small tables arranged to seat four g g were set around in the garden. On these the ornamentation consisted of small s g Maypoles: The streamers of these -in blue and white, the Senior color, were : s wound about half way down the pole. Then they extended to each plate : ! and were held in place by a small doll dressed in blue and white. By the : late a sunburst rose the Senior flower had l l 'l i ' P ,Q . , , ieen arc. 5 'I he Seniors, recovered from their astonishment, began to scramble E g about to End their places at the tables.
