Banquets Create an Active Interest. The food is good and so is the company! The Elyrian and Herald Staff members enjoy interesting conver- sations following the meal and after dinner speech. The banquets in the spring are a sign of the school year drawing to a close. Almost every organization sponsors a dinner or some type of recreational activity. The programs are perhaps the most important part of the banquet. A speaker must be invited in advance, a toast master is appointed, and a theme is chosen. Even though a great deal of planning is required, time is the only element involved and the result is usually a very successful program and an enjoy- able evening. Each year Iatin Club holds a Roman Ban- quet. The officers and more accomplished members.of the group are waited on hand and foot by slaves. The masters bid for their slaves at an auction which precedes the banquet. The new editors of the Elyrian, Dawn Schnur and D5ug Fox, and of the Herald, Sharon Stamitti and Ivan Braun, receive congratulations from Mr. Martin Katz. Being speaker at the Publication's Banquet, he gave the staffs a look into the everyday life of a typical newspaper reporter.

High School Life. The guests at Class Night were enter- tained by members of the Senior Class. A terrific amount of preparation went into the Senior Promg but, gee wasn't it worth it? Aren't you glad you saved your money for that handsome new suit or gorgeous formal? Didn't your date look like a dream? An orien- tal theme was chosen and after the decorations were set up, the gym looked just like the Orient. The guests admired the Chinese pagoda which added to the atmosphere. The couples had a mar- velous time dancing and dining to the music of Chuck Hargrove's Orchestra. Harold Mischka's act, shown, was only one of the outstanding performances. The 1961 Class Night started with a delicious meal served by the mothers of senior girls. After the dinner there was a program composed of talent from the Senior Class. An informal dance in the gym followed the program. This was the last social event the entire class would share together. 25
