Junior-Senior Banquet SNOW WHITE AND 3 5 DWARFS Sh! Don’t break the spell of the land of makebelieve ... Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It’s off to glen we go to a banquet given by Snow White’s best friends, the dwarfs. After being met at the door, we were escorted to the wishing well where we made wishes, and much to our surprise came a flow of very delicious cider. At this time the Dwarfs presented their most honored guests with nosegays of jonquils. The glen was festooned with flowers and beautifully decorated tables, carrying out the color scheme of red and white. In the far distance you could see the wicked queen’s lighted castle. The entire assemblage sang the famous Heigh Ho!” which gave the shy Dwarfs courage to continue a most interesting and entertaining program: Beyond the Seven Mountains The Wishing Well .
