SCHOOL CARNIVAL With the Student Council members as the chairmen, the high school planned for weeks a Carnival to raise funds for various activities. Tuesday, November 19, 1946, was set for the date. Each grade gave a home room program, the band presented a demon- stratlon, and the high school Choir sang the program that was to be broadcast the next evening over KFNF. After this the crowd was admitted into the gym where there was bingo, a cake walk, free throws, baseball throws, and various guessing games.
