Tip Toe Through The Tulips fr. - Sr. Banquet The junior class and their sponsor, Mrs. Albert Nichols, entertained their guests, the senior class, faculty, and Board of Education, Thursday evening May 4 in the beautiful land of tulips. The audi- torium was decorated in blue, representing the sky. Two large wooden shoes with Holland Haven written across them brought out the theme of the occasion. Along the north wall was a lighted wind- mill surrounded by a tulip garden. The year, 1950 representing the graduating class, was written on the arms of the windmill. A stone wall and many tulips completed the scene. Tulips and blue candles were used in decorat- ing the tables. The individual nut cups were wood- en shoes on which were painted tulips and little boys and girls. The nut cups also served as place cards, The words Holland Haven were printed on the programs and napkins. The food was prepared by the junior mothers. The freshman and sophomore girls dressed in white aprons and white Dutch hats, served as waitresses. The menu consisted of tomato juice cocktail, ham, creamed new potatoes, green beans, cinnamon apples, hot rolls and butter, pineapple- cottage cheese salad, celery, olive, radishes, carrot strips, jelly, brick ice cream, angel food cake, cof- fee, nuts and mints. ter was as follows: Invocation ........................... ....., M r.

Following the program there was a short intermission while the floor was cleared for dancing. Music was fur- nished by the Bob Cummings Orchestra. Everyone enjoyed a delightful evening and agreed that the Junior-Senior Banquet was very successful. Junior Play The Junior Class of 1949 presented the play New Fires on Thursday night, December 22 in the High School Auditorium. The play was under the direction of Miss Lucille Burroughs assisted by the class sponsor, Mrs. Albert Nichols. A week-end trip to an inherited farm home in the Ozarks proved to be an extended visit, and quite a turning point for the Santry family. , Stephen Santry, a writer-sensitive, idealistic, who proposed this jaunt, hoping the clean, whole- some, country life with the rules he set up would somehow change and inspire his family. Anne, his wife, 'had gone to the evil of ,position and wealth. To her, the first few days on the farm were a nightmare. Olive, a daughter of Stephen's and Anne's, a spoiled, selfish girl, found rural life in- tolerable. They threatened to leave immediately, but fate, and Stephen, and time defeated them, Phyllis, another daughter, and a neighbor farm friend, Mary came down with scarlet fever in the Santry's home, the family was all quarantined and forced to remain. This in one was a stroke of fate. Then Stephen sets up a ruling no work, no eat policy, at first the children didn't like it, but grad- ually they respected his strength, and the justice of his rules. Jerry Sperry, son of the hired man knew all about guns and wild life, and for once Bill, Stephen's son. didn't know it all. Dick, on a honeymoon with Eve, and suddenly without his dad's support, buckles down to fruit farming in earnest. Olive and Anne held out the longest, but when firm-handed strong-willed, country doctor, Lynn Gray, assuresaplace in her heart that chang- ed many things. As for Anne, she learned how to run her household and recovered a zest for life, and an interest in the happiness of others. The cast were as folows: Stephen Santry an author ........ .....
