Junior-Senior Banquet The Junior-Senior Banquet was held on May 20 at the Arcade Hotel. The dining room was beautifully decorated in the Senior Colors, Green and White. The banquet tables were arranged separately. As the guests entered the door they were given attractive favors in the form of dunce caps which were put on immediately, adding much fun to the occasion. Soon each found his place and was served with a tempting salad course. During this course several toasts and responses were given. To the Seniors by Lucas Sparrow, response by Pink King; to Mr. Thornwell by Woodrow Lewis, responded to by Miss Henderson in the absence of Mr. Thornwell; to Mr. Hungerpiller by Martha Carnes, responded to by himself ; to Mr. Durrett by Pierce Parrott. In between times some very pleasing dances were given: the Gypsy Dance by Beatrice Heustess; the Egyptian Dance by Mary D. Chambers; the Doll Dance by Juanita Ingram and Mary D. Chambers; the Highland Fling by Margaret Phoebe Reynolds and Laura Twitty. The last course of ice cream and cake were served while we were entertained by music from a colored quartet. Music was furnished during the entire evening by Mr. Goldman’s Orchestra. This occasion is one long to be remembered in the hearts of the Seniors. 31

First Oration Against Catiline” by Henry McKinnon, and a story wad read in Latin and translated by Fred Carpenter, a star pupil of the eighth grade. Mildred Miller read a paper on “If Cicero Should Come To Earth Today,” and Marguerite Miller a sketch on “Aeneas in the Twentieth Century.” Mrs. J. G. Wilds read a paper on Virgil which was especially interesting to the Virgil Class. Before beginning her talk, Mrs. Wilds told in an interesting way of the four generations of Latin students present. The closing number was a speech of greeting by Professor Durrett. This was rendered in Latin and delighted the Latin students for many of them found that they could understand spoken Latin. Mr. Hungerpiller closed the program with a speech in his usual happy manner which also proved that he knew Latin too. Posters, ships, and a bust of Caesar made by students of the different Latin Classes gave a real Romanesque appearance to the room. Sophomore-Senior Banquet Very novel invitations were issued from the Sophomores to the Seniors to attend a garden party on the lawn of Mrs. C. M. McKinnon. The invitations were not more novel than the party itself. The lawn was lighted and at one side was a Senior booth decorated with the Class Colors, Green and White, from which sandwiches were served. Another booth in the opposite corner was arranged in Red and White, the School Colors, from which delicious red punch was served. After the guests had assembled, they were conducted through the air on an airplane ride by Vance Tatum, who pointed out all the stars and attractions in the heavens which were made interesting by local hits. A feature of this ride was the stop to converse with the Man in the Moon, who told many tales on the lovers present. The ride was concluded by a quick descending from the shooting stars, made real by the shooting of sky rockets. After the return to earth partners were chosen for a contest to test their knowledge of famous men. Following this, the real fun of the evening began with a mock track meet hotly contested between Seniors and Sophomores. Each event called forth much laughter. At the end it was found that the Seniors had won five points out of the possible eight, and thus won the beautiful tin loving cup which was very suitably presented by Mr. Hungerpiller. A Shakespearian contest followed the track meet after which delicious refreshments were served. The Seniors gave a yell for the Sophomores to which they responded with cheers for the former. The party ended with a farewell poem read by Genoese Montgomery. The Senior Class voted the party a brilliant success through the leadership of Miss Henderscn and the efforts of the Sophomore Class. 30
