F fm 4- fN 19. . PIONEER. .31 The Iohn Harris Fair The fourth John Harris Fair was sponsored by the Midyear Class of '31, the proceeds of which were used to defray the expenses of the year book, The Pioneer. This Fair, the greatest of all the John Harris Fairs, was held December 13, 1930, from twelve at noon to twelve at midnight. Everyone in the school aided in the sale of tickets, including the band, who re- ceived a percentage on the amount of tickets its members sold. Individual prizes, consisting of five dollars and two and one-half dollars, were offered to those individuals selling the most tickets. A ticket was given to each pupil in the home-room who sold the greatest number of tickets. A delightful program was presented in the afternoon consisting of a forty-five minute band concert, dancing by the younger pupils of Mrs. Ley's School of Dance Arts, songs by a quartet consisting of Betty Latham, Ethel Eschbach, Joseph Harvey, and Emory Buckeg dancing by Virginia Fox, followed by a movie. The evening program consisted of one-half hour band concert, dancing of various types by the pupils of Mrs. Ley's School of Dance Arts, and dancing by Virginia Fackler. Miss Thelma Snyder, a well known harpest of this city, gave a fifteen minute program, followed by a movie. From 9:15 to 12:00, a dance was held in the girls' gym, which was decorated in the class colors, green and gold. Music was furnished by Frankie Barbush and his Floridians. What an array of booths in the foyer, tastefully decorated! The booths consisted of Art and Novelty, Fancy Work, Candy, Cake, Country Store, Fish Pond, and Flower. The Art and Novelty Shop had a beautiful display of gifts, which were donated by the various business firms of Harrisburg. The Fancy Work Booth had everything for sale from aprons to gingham dogs and calico cats, which one could not resist buying. These articles were made under the direction of Miss Dorothy Martin, by the committee and other girls of the class. The Sweet Shoppe was just bubbling over with delicious candies and salted nuts made by the girls in the cooking classes, under the direction of Mrs. Avery. Who said anything about cakes? How delicious they looked and what a large quantity. One could certainly find his favorite cake among this huge assortment. The at last discovered one place, where we could fish without a license. Did you find it? At the Fish Pond everyone who fished was sure to get a bite. This proved great fun for the kiddies. If you didnit attend the Fair, you surely missed some bargains and fun at the Country Store. It was a typical General Store, with everything from shoe strings to canned goods and lemons with peppermint sticks. The Check Rooms, Bar-B-Ques and Games, were in the various rooms, while the Miniature Golf Course was in the boys' gym. It was made possible only through the kindness of Mr. Fecser and the boys of the committee. Say! did you try our Bar-B- Ques? If not, why not? They were the best you have ever eaten. They by far sur- passed those you ever bought at the Blue Pig. Bingo! NVho said anything about Bingo? And oh, yes, ski-ball too. What fun! Everyone desired to try their luck at winning a prize which was donated by some Harrisburg firms. The prizes consisted of lamps, toilet sets, blankets, pipes and other useful articles. The Committees and Chairmen were as follows: General chairman, Florence E.
