HIGHLIGHT EARLY SPRING ACTIVITIES The annual FT A Carnival and dance were held in the Griffith High School gym on April 29, 1960. The carnival was held from 6 to 8 in the evening, and was followed by a shoe dance which lasted until 11 that night. Each organization in Griffith High maintained a booth and the money each club paid for the rental of the space for its booth went to the FT A scholarship fund. Various types of booths were set up, some of which were a spook house, sponge throw, and a silhouette shop. During the dance, a king and queen were crowned from among those students chosen to represent their class. Voting for the Royal Couple took place at the carnival and the reigning monarchs were Marlene Smock and Bill Hutson. Mr. Dan Leslie furnished the entertainment for the evening by singing several popular songs. The basketball throw and the spook house were two of the most popular booths. Marlene and Bill took the spot- light as king and queen of the FTA carnival and dance. Among Mr. Leslie’s arrangements was “The Girl That I Marry.”
