Encouraging students to be con¬ cerned with charity and the plight of the poor, the annual Mardi Gras was scheduled for Thursday Febru¬ ary 20. It was held, as in the past, in the old gymnasium from 6:30 to 9:30 in the evening. Participating clubs and organiza¬ tions set up booths and game areas, allowing the students to browse at will in the free-style at¬ mosphere. A few of the varied ac¬ tivities which took place were the Biology Club ' s fish game, Human Relations ' dart and colored board games, Pan Am ' s bean bag throw, GAA ' s basketball throw, C-Teens ' throw ball through tire game, hulla- gan by the joint efforts of the Pep Club and the cheerleaders, pick up bottle with ring on stick by the Gymnastics Club, stuffed animals by Health Occupations, cartoons and the grand prize game by the Yearbook staff, and the Student Council ' s cake walk. A number of refreshments were available to the spectators, including tacos by the Pan Am Club, candy on behalf of the Honor Society, and the con¬ cession stands with hot dogs, chili dogs, corny dogs, and beverages. Twenty per cent of the total profits earned by each organization was donated to a charity chosen by the Student Council, which was the actual sponsor of the Mardi Gras. The clubs kept the remaining funds to cover the costs of their booths. Clubs and Students £ All out
