THE CATLINEAN CARNIVAL Six The athletic carnival was held on November 9th, the whole evening being full of excitement. The first thing heard was the barker for the Hay-Rack ride. In the lower hall, The Spook House proved to be a hair-raiser. The Penny Pitch board was a place to win pennies Cif you were luckyj, and the Doll Rack attracted many marksmen. sr lc On the main Hoor, the Country Store became the bargain center. The Old Heiddlebergh Inn was a favorite place for resting up, while the German band played old folk songs and the patrons enjoyed light refreshments. Many people attended the Ten Pretty Girls , a Sophomore skit, which became quite popular. In the upper hall, the Bingo Stand , with all its lovely prizes, was crowded every game. Many of the wonders of the world were witnessed in the Freak House . A balloon was given to every person who made a shot in basketball. The main attraction for the dancers at intermission was the Gobblers' Inn and the pop stand both, in their way, refreshment stations. All these things wound up in the dance hall. Dale Laking's Orchestra played in the auditorium decorated with autumn colors and dimmed lights. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the queen. Three weeks pre- vious, each class nominated a queen, and votes were sold until 9 p. m. the night of the carnival. The various classes raffled off coal, turkeys, permanents, cakes, food, and other articles, to take in extra money. All classes showed great enthusiasm in collecting queen votes and putting the carnival over in a big way. I ,D Za Page Sixteen
