Finally after a hard days work these were the results: Downstairs the cafeteria was decorated tothe theme of HThe Gypsy Tea Room' and the girls were serv- ing lunches to the large crowd which came that night. Over in the ath- letic room the results were not as tasty as those in the cafeteria, for this was the NTomb of Terror.H Having viewed the hanging mice, the corpse in the coffin and being uit by wet mops, one was even willing to walk on the final egg-shelled floor to get out of there. Then upstairs the main events were going on. In a side room was the NBlue Roomu which had the gypsy and her crystal ball. In the gym was the Souvenir shop, and its de- tested confetti, the art room, basketball throw and the dart game. The carnival was also kept going by the cake walk, telegram booth and votes for the queen. At last the evening was drawn to a close by the crowning ofthe Carnival Queen.

Everyone dressed up in their formals and best suits entered the stage on a walk and found a scene representing a street cafe scene at the Mardi Gras in old New Orleans. It was a gay place with all the bright colors made with crepe pap- er and many balloons. On each of the small decorated tables was a lighted can- dle and each table was set up so as to represent some of the famous old cafes of that colorful city. They were served a very delicious meal of surprise punch, baked ham, parslied new potatoes, green beans, confetti salad, strawberry delight, relish plate, rolls, and coffee.
