She often wished father would not snore so loudly. But that wasn't what had made her awake so suddenly. Romeo was waiting outside. In a few minutes she was ready. Romeo had climbed on the roof of the porch under her window, and when she came out, he took her suitcase. Are you all ready, Juliet? Are you sure you have everything ? in- quired Romeo. I think I have, she replied, but why are you looking so alarmed ? I thought I heard something then. You did, but that's only father's snoring. By this time they were on the ground. Oh! Romeo, she whispered, I forgot my powder puE. Let's get it some other time, said Romeo uneasily. We'd better leave in a hurry, or they might wake up before we start. They walked about a block to where his roadster was parked, and got into it hurriedly. After they had left Blackford a few miles behind them, Juliet started talking. I didn't hear you at first because I was still asleep. I didn't in- tend to sleep so long, but I was rather tired. I had to help entertain father's friend, Mr. J. S. Burns, who was visiting until last night. I don't know Where he lives. He marries a lot of people, and, in jest, he asked when I wanted him to marry me. Father said I wouldn't be old enough to get married for several years. I didn't say anything though, she added. It was such a lovely moonlight night that she looked at the fields they were passing for a while in silence. Then she thought of her powder puE. I'll get you a dozen after we're married, he said. After they had reached Higgsville that morning, about eight o'clock, rnd Romeo had their license, he asked where the justice of the peace was. When he had found out, they immediately went to his office. They were both rather excited as they went up the steps, but when they opened the door, she fainted. For there was J. S. Burns, himself. -Paul Geiger. AN EPITAPH Here lie the bones Of Bobby Jones, Who fell ill at the table, A pill he took But failed to look First at the bottle's label. -Wilbur Zbinden. 1926 IPAGE 501

The losing team gave a party in honor of the winners, the Meteors, who won by a scant majority over the Rockets. The Party was called A Trip To The Moon and it was certainly enjoyed by all. After a few games refreshments were served and the guests and hosts went home. , THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The 1926 Junior Class gave a banquet in honor of the Senior Class on Thursday evening, May 20. The banquet was held in the Methodist church basement. At 6:30 o'clock the Junior and Senior Classes and the Faculty sat down at the candle-lighted table with its navy blue and orange decorations. The first course of the banquet was a fruit cocktail. Second was the salad. Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, escalloped corn, and rolls were served next, with ice ceam, cake, and coffee as the finale. The Sophomore girls clad in white were the waitresses. Paul Geiger, toastmaster, welcomed the Seniors. He then introduced Paul J . Brenner, Senior Class President, who thanked the Juniors for the honor which they bestowed upon the Seniors by entertaining them. The toastmaster called upon Prof. Sullivan for a toast. Mr. Sullivan responded with a toast which will be long remembered by all who were present. The toastmaster next introduced Lawrence Baylor, who, although unprepared, was there with a snappy bit of repartee. This concluded the banquet, but the evening's entertainment had only begun. The Juniors had their cars outside in which to take the Seniors to the Lorraine Theater in Hoopeston. The show, Tramp Tramp Tramp, was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Juniors, however, being capable enter- tainers, did not intend to stop at this, but resolved to make a night of it and escorted the Seniors to the Sugar Bowl. There they ate, drank, and were merry. At a late hour all returned home, the Seniors knowing that the J unior- Senior Banquet would always bring back memories of a wonderful event, the Juniors feeling pride in such a successful undertaking as this. This was the first Junior-Senior Banquest ever held in our school. Probably there will be others, but none will ever be better remembered than the one given by the Juniors to the Class of 1926.
