NORTHWEST TERRITORY USED AS THEME FOR 1 9 3 8 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET WHEN the gates of the Blockade were opened to all of us in the Junior and Senior Classes, we were somewhat astounded. So re- alistic was the scene reproduced that we almost felt that We were really back in the days of long ago. There was a campfire in the center, while surrounding it were small covered Wagons keep- ing watch. Directly above the fire was a large wagon wheel which was the symbol of the evening. The red, white and blue checkered tablecloths carried on the pioneer spirit. Hav- ing glanced around, we began seating ourselves accordingly as the fates so desired. It was the year for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Northwest Territory. It was from this affair that the theme of the banquet originated. Throughout the evening we were guided through the wilds of the forest by the able scouts and Indian guides. A tabloid presenting all of the important dates from the beginning of the Northwest Territory to the present time, entertained us. Even the birthdates of the Juniors were included. Our candles were dimmed and we were start- led into reality when our large, modern electric lights were turned on. Looking at each other rather dreamily, we almost wished that we had lived way back in olden times. This feeling was soon forgotten, however, as we thought of the plans for the evening that were yet to come. Soon we wandered out of the blockade, and the gate slowly swung shut on another scene of festivity.
