CCARNELIAN JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION Following the custom established by the Class of l90l, the Class of I923 entertained the Class of I922 at the junior-Senior Reception and Banquet held Thursday evening, January nineteenth, nineteen hundred and twenty- two. When the guests, the members of the Classes of '22 and '23, the mem- bers of the school board and faculty, had assembled a most enjoyable ban- quet was served by Mrs. Hoenes. The dining room was artistically decorated in red and white, the Senior colors. Large '22's festooned the wall. The color scheme was also carried out in the favors, which were small red baskets containing white candies. Mr. Brown acted as toastmaster and introduced each speaker with a few fitting remarks. Donald Group, the President of the Junior Class welcomed the guests and the response was made by Ralph Jewell, the Senior President. Interesting talks were given by Mr. Wolfe, Mr. McFarland and Mr. Sheen, who spoke with enthusiasm upon the subject of Athletics. We then returned to the dance hall which was elaborately decorated in yellow and white, the junior colors. Long streamers of crepe paper enclosed the orchestra in the center of the hall while others extended to the sides. A flash light picture was taken of the guests after which dancing began and was enjoyed until one o'clock. During intermission a very clever and in- teresting chalk talk was given by Ferdinand Johnson. The junior-Senior Reception, surpassing all former ones in elaborateness will remain long in the memory of those present. Page Twenty-five

CARNELIAN THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY This the third year of the Class of '23 has been one devoted to hard work. We began the year by electing the following officers: Donald Group, Presi- dent: Charles Lusey, Vice President, and Sumner Bentley, Secretary-Treasurer. Our first activity was the presentation of the I-Iallowe'en float. After re- ceiving first prize we felt that our efforts were amply rewarded. We then turned our attention to preparation for the Junior-Senior Recep- tion. To meet the expense we presented two plays, The Little Man, and Tents of the Arabs, and also held several bake sales. We were determined to make the junior-Senior the best ever held and bent every effort to do so. The reception held on January the nineteenth proved to be all we had hoped for. When, early in the year, came the call for enrollment in the Athletic Asso- ciation, the Juniors showed their spirit for the Association by getting one hun- dred per cent. membership before any other class. For a reward we were given the Athletic Association Cup for I 92 I - I 922. Not long afterward came the challenge for an inter-class basket ball series, and the offering of two cups-one for the winner of the boys' series, and one for the girls. The Junior boys easily carried off the honors and won the cup. The girls were well toward winning their cup when the series of games was cut short. Besides this we furnished many of the players for the regular l I. S. team. Late in the winter we took a rest from our work when, on a cold snappy night in January, a few members of our class went to Cutting on a sleigh ride. Everyone seemed to have a good time and to be none the worse for it. As we look back over our Junior year we feel that it has been one of pleasure gained through activity. Z. S., '23.
