Mardi Gras Bringing to a close the spring social season was the annual French Club-sponsored Mardi Gras, held on the high school tennis courts. Lending a romantic air to the festival were the candle-lit tables outlining the floor, casting a mystical glow upon the dancing couples. Entertainment was provided during the intermission and refreshments of punch and cookies were served throughout the evening. As European history students know, the Tennis Court Oath was an integral part of French Revolution activities. GPHS tennis court was Frenchified for the occasion of the Mardi Gras, one of the banner yearly dances.
