CARNIVAL 84 BOOK FAIR C ARNIVAL was once again a success in 1977, raising nearly S1300 to be entrusted to the Student Council for appropriation. February 11th was the fateful date, as eager hordes of parents, relatives, reluctant grandparents, etc., trouped into the confines of the gym UQ, accompanying their boys. One of the most unusual - and voted most original by the judges - was 7th grader Whitney Ransick's argument booth, where one could have a temper-venting 60-seconds of blabbering and com- plaining. All the while patrons of this booth were subjected to a steady stream of Ransick invective, including insults and moderate profanity. All in all, it was a popular venture, and most students want it back next year. The ludson family and 801 founded and funded a Wheel of Fortune, where legitimate prizes land sim- ply rubber lizards, spiders, etc.i could be won by lucky contestants. Then there was Locomotion, run by Nick Armington and Lars Lofas. This tested one's training driving skills - without forcing patrons to join a union! These booths - and many others, of course - made a gross of over 51500, aided by Mr. Gauger's ever-present hot dog and warm soda stand. Mr. Suter once again took up his spot selling tickets at the front door, and Mr. Harlan's overall leadership once again coordinated things - despite a sore lack of good door prizes contributed by patrons other than ludson. Frankly, Mr. ludson and family deserve much more praise than they got, as they donated the bulk of the quality door prizes.

The annual Book Fair, sponsored by the A-S Par- ents' Association, had another excellent turn-out, on November 16. New science equipment for the lower school and more books for the main library were the primary goals of the exercise. With Messrs. Webb.and hot julian as salesmen, the science target was easily achieved fas was Mrs. Rittenberg'si. The selection of books was opened to lower schoolers at 1 pm, and youngsters browsing found a new edition of the A-S cookbook, containing many recipes contributed by parents fit sold for the bar- gain price of 55.1. This handsome yellow loose-leaf volume is a must for every family, it contains prov- en dishes which kids acutally eat. Lower school boys, mostly fourth graders, scurried about selling raffle tickets to visitors. This year the prizes were exceptional, lzod shirts to Ranger - autographed hockey sticks. In front of the stage were the usual collection of posters featuring athlet- ic superstars of all sports. As usual, upper schoolers were the biggest buyers of these. Next to the posters was a new display: monogramed hats and scarves took the place of last year's T-shirts. In the center of the gym were the popular chance games. In the M 81 M game, the numbers 1776 and 1976 were guessed several times, as many thought they Had the system. But the eighth graders were over- powering, as Roberto DeVido took home a pair of Ranger tickets with the exact number. Runner-up jimmy Jacobs found many friends eager to share his second prize: the M 81 Ms - all of 'eml .1 V f,fXf,?'-avi-' ,X ,rf .-f -1- . 8.3
