THE BEURO JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET OF 'zs The Class of '29 wanted to do something in honor of the Class of '28 so they gave a junior-Senior Banquet. We left school about one o'clock and went to Deer Park. We went through most of the canyons and some very interesting and beautiful places. From there we went over to the Starvecl Rock Hotel. We were pro- vided with dressing rooms and made ourselves ready for the Banquet. At six-thirty we were ushered into a private dining room where we found our places at small tables that were arranged in an oval shape so that we made a large but rather elongated circle. ln the center of each table was a basket of white roses and these were joined together with blue rib- bon. The Class of '29's flower, the white rose, and the colors, blue and white, were used in the decoration. The Menu was: Fruit Cocktail Olives Pickles Roast Spring Chicken Stuffed Mashed Potatoes June Peas Head Lettuce With French Dressing Nabisco Sundae Coffee Mints The programs were blue imitation leather with a small white rose slipped through the cover.
