ALL FOR BOOKS '42 Hey, step right up Lad-ies and Gentlemen! Step right up, hey. hey — This familiar cry of the side-show barker advertising his products was heard at the Library Carnival April 17, 1942. It certainly was a gala affair. From the moment one stepped on the mid-way (the main hall) until he ended up in the main tent (the old gym), it was an affair well worth remembering. Remember the Hawaiian show where those lovely Polynesian gals gave forth with a little of their own songs and dances? And the Gay Nineties act. a melodrama such as was never seen or acted in 1890 s? Among other fectures we sew Willy, The Wild Man, caught by ten soilorettes in the Jungle of Borneo; Mr. Plate, the tattooed man, whose entire body was covered with tattooing; Basco and Hasco, the Siamese twins; Gerilda, the human monkey: Ajax, the strong man; fortune tellers who told the past, present, and future; and the negro minstrel show in which the Solid Seven gave a few new turns to a few old jokes. There were also Bingo, a wrestling arena, the mystery show, a Chinese (not Jap!!) tearoom where Chinese food was served at a very small fee! Then the climax of the evening came when a freshman, Betty Keller, winner of the beauty contest, was crowned Queen of the Library Carnival. Yes, the carnival was positively stupendous: and all of that work collecting paper didn't go for nothing, because the profits of the carnival enabled us to hove $265 worth of new books and eight tons of Jap-slapping material. —Carmelita McKemie
