SENIOR ACTIVITIES Junior-Senior Banquet. The Junior» and Seniors had a real party this—“eats” and everything. On Saturday, March 31, the ladies of the Episcopal Church served us a very fine dinner.

Other speakers and speeches were: Slams on Juniors ....................................... Marian Connell Slams on Seniors ......................................... Rath Carroll Slams on Faculty ....................................... Kirby Vosburg ' The Reason the Senior Class of '28 Is the Best ............Trot'. Elden Does Marriage Interfere With Career? ..................... Mrs. Forsell After being “slammed around, the party adjourned to the school where music was furnished for dancing and where card tables had been set up for cards. This party was a success in more ways than one. for it added a small amount to our treasury. SENIOR DANCE May 18 the committee in charge, engaged the Town Hall for this very momentous event. Although it rained very hard that evening, about fifty-four couples were present. The hall was decorated very beautifully in crimson and white. Les Purdy’s Orchestra furnished very inspiring music until twelve o'clock when the party wras over. This night, also, the Boys’ County Speaking Contest was held. As soon as Mr. and Mrs Elden arrived at the Town Hall from the contest to lead the Grand March, all of us received hats and noise-makers. This party was. to say the least, a great success with its pretty decorations, good orchestra, favors and delicious punch.
