THE SPUD 15 Junior-Senior Banquet On Saturday evening, May 1, the Juniors gave the annual banquet to the Seniors in the High School gymnasium. The room had been transformed from the hare place of physical training to a beautiful summer house whose latticed walls were of the lavender and white. Flowering vines clambered over the walls and dainty butterflies sipped the dew from the blossoms. Larger and more gaudy butterflies hovered overhead. The table decorations were also lavender and white. The flowers used were lilacs, violets, sweet williams and apple blossoms. The guests assembled in the lower hall, which had been transformed into a cozy reception room, and from there led by Miss Canfield, marched to the banquet room. The menu was carried out in lavender and white. The banquet was a most sumptuous one and heartily en-joved bv all. MENU Grape Ice Opera Sticks Tuna a la Creole Maryland Chicken Duchess Potatoes Peas aux Macedoine in Patties Parker House Rolls Butter Picklrs Olives Fruit Gellee Salad Nut Bread Bombe Glacee Angclfood Cake Cafe Noir Mints Nuts The serving was done by the following Sophomore girls: Gertrude Madden, Neva Howe, Matilda Frankie, Rose Carlson, Helen Rice, Della IIol-sten, Vera Albro, Florence Atz, and Mable Grassman. The toast list also carried out the idea of a summer garden, and was worked out unusually well. Miss Marian Mote, who was the Queen of the Garden, most fittingly introduced those to respond, who were as follows: Queen of the Garden.....Marian Mote Lavender ...........
