The Queen and the Royal Court led the merry subjects to the Carnival. The booths were: bean bag throw, fortune telling, bingo, fish pond, telegraph, refreshments, and candy.. The side shows were the Can Can danced by Beth and Alene Russell, and Norine Hinkley and the Chicken Reel danced by Jack White, Joe Stephens, Jack Zabransky, David Rand, A1- fred Holden and Donald Adams. Both dances were under the direction of Miss Kennedy. The latter part of the evening was enjoyably spent dancing to the music of the La Grande Aristocrats. The gym was beauti- fully decorated in lavender, white and green. The aim of the carnival was to raise money for the high school student body. Everyone put forth a great effort to make it a success and consequently 3600. was a welcome addition to our insufficient student body fund.
