1932 THE ATALANTA 1932 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The annual banquet of Atlanta High School was held at the M. E. Church Wednesday evening, April 20. The dining room was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The setting was a circus tent, the top and sides being buff crepe paper attached to a wire at the bottom for uniformity. The pillars were wrapped in the high school colors—red and white. Attached to each fork was the string from a balloon and the colors made it a gala sight. In the center of the guests table was a space about 14x24 inches, and a white and red elephant with other circus animals were distributed promiscuously. The center light was decorated With small colored crepe streamers. The whole effect was a pretty and pleasing sight, and should have been satisfactory to everyone. The banquet was prepared by the mothers of the Juniors and it pleased the banqueters in every way. The menu was as follows, and was served by six Sophomore girls gaudily dressed as clowns: The menu was as follows: Upset Fruit Stand, Chicken Hot Tamales, In and Out the Tent, The Clown’s “Lines,” Trapezer’s Trappings, The Spon-dulics Spin, Spicy Spangles, Between the Acts, The Grand Three-ring Finale with an Aerial Specialty, Elephant’s Delight and Black Java.
