JR. SH. BANQUET A TOUCH OF HAWAII To the Bellevue Juniors and Seniors no event of the year is so en joyable as their anticipated Jr. Sr. Banquet. And surely their Ir. Sr. Banquet on December 6, 1947 at the Y. W. C. A. in Wichita Falls. Texas was the beautiful realization of all their expectations. A touch of Hawaii truly helped to make this Banquet a colorful one, and one to be remembered for many years. Each one found his place in the banquet hall by his own Hawaiian place card. and remained standing until the invocation was offered by Mr. W. M. Roberts, Principal of the Bellevue High School. Then every- one followed the pleasing custom of the hospitable Hawaiians by decora- ting himself with gay leis which were found by his place at the table. Finally the happy group was seated to joyfully partake of the delicious meal, to enjoy the well-arranged program, and to look forward to other diversions of the evening. Nelson McCord, President of the Ir. Class, gave a pleasing welcome greeting by recognizing all guests. seniors. Board of Education members and their wives, faculty members and their wives or husbands respective- ly, and class fathers and mothers. Billy Sweazea, President of the Sen ior Class. gave a warm response. Ann Davis presided as mistress of ceremonies while the guests en- joyed a menu of fruit cocktail, chicken-fried steak, potatoes, English peas, pineapple salad, hot rolls and butter, tea or coffee, and ice cream and cake for dessert. During the meal much fun was afforded by various members of the banquet party, and a Hawaiian good time was had by all. As soon as the meal was finished. two dancers from Gross Studio in Wichita Falls. Texas presented a very artistic Hawaiian dance. Then Doris Ann Sullenger, a Bellevue Sophomore, entertained vocally with Sing Me a Song of The Island accompanied by Mrs. hhomi Elmore. Mr. B. H. Dyer. President of the Bellevue School Board, followed the musical renditions with some very excellent remarks. And last Ann Davis very graciously introduced the speaker of the evening who was Supt. Lee Powell of Bellevue. Mr. Powell certainly made a wonderful talk, a talk that could be helpful to any young person. Each one was grateful to him for all he said, and also for his keen in- terest in the whole school. The guests were now directed to the recreation hall in the Y.W.C.A. amd the remaining part of the evening was spent in other forms of past- time.
