After looking over to improve upon them by adding a better cover, expensive trimmings. But where was the money the staff shook their pompadours and thought, in silent gloom. Then, gradually, they evolved .the idea of the race. The annual s.taff, this year, has the books of past years, they decided color pages, view sections, and other to come from? The young men of On a big banner hung in the hall at school was shown a race track with four racing cars, one to each class. The track was marked off to show the number of votes secured. Every day each racer was moved forward according to the number of votes it received. Each sale of an annual counted one hundred votes. During the week and a half of the contest, Earl Hussong and Merle Swalley developed writers' cramp signing receipts for advance payments of half the price of each annual. About three hundred and fifty annuals were sold. The prize for the winning class was not a loving cup, nor a hundred-dollar bill, but something better,-the right to the name of The Livest Class in School, plus the privilege of being entertained at an All-school party, plus the disposal of two whole pages in the annual itself. Our Hudson thought such prizes worth winning. Slowly it drew up alongside the big senior car, an Oldsmobile 1912 model. Finally, with a tremendous burst of speed it drew ahead, and stayed -there until the tape was reached. The All-school party was a grand and glorious carnival. One can always have a Hkeenl' time at a carnival, this one helped, too, to bring in more money for the annual. Juniors were admitted free to the shows and refreshment booths. For some reason nearly everyone was a junior. Strange, was it riot? About six hundred students and parents attended the carnival and abandoned themselves to the gayety of the occasion. It was considered .the best All-school party ever held in the history of .the school. Some of the main attractions were: the big show, An American Harem, given by the Dee Dee club, the Kiss Auction, which was particularly well attended, Blue Beard's Cave, the Bathing Beauties, Athletic Stadium, and Baby Show. Stands of refreshments and carnival novelties furnished the real Mardi Gras atmosphere. Clint McCollister as the Ballyhoo, and Henry Dorsey's band furnished hilarious entertainment for the crowd. Later the juniors held a contest to dispose of the Space in the Orange and Black, Persis Kandt was selected by the class as the Prettiest girl, Morna Zell Wagstaff as the Most Popular Girl, Ralph Everly as the Handsomest boy, and Niles Smith as the Best Allround boy.
