l 7 amor Party Illtl strangest collection of characters that has ever graced the high school auditorium gathered there tor the first Junior party of the year on October 15, 1927. Pirates and colonial ladies danced hand in hand with goblins and cowboys. The class colors were carried out in a crimson and black pinata, hiding a white pigeon. Balloons and confetti added to the carnival spirit. A Night on a Pirate Shipl' featuring Benito Itlsparza, Alonzo Ancira, and John Dickinson was given. The pantomime A True Romance was read by Miss Tittsworth and acted by Ferol Perkins, Tommy Mann, and John Dickinson. A prize was given to the most attractively dressed girl and one to the most attractively dressed boy. The winners ol' these were Jeanette Taylor and Jesse Paul llewitt. Mr. Wade was present in borrowed tinery and proved that he could make a vcry beautiful lady. Several seniors were present, among them was l.'hiloman Gorman who en- tered into the spirit of the party and participated in a craekereating contest with Pete Olson. Another senior was Lasca. Fortassain, editor of the Journal, who was invited in order that the Juniors would get in the paper. Kings and witches alike rushed to the scene ol' excitement when refresh- ments were announced, and Pierrots helped their Pierettes to cake, sandwiches, and soda pop with the dexterity ol' long experience. The most enthusiastic guest was Shirly l3al'amara, who was dressed in regulation cowboy outfit and waxved a six shooter. llis interest helped make the party one ot' the most successful ones ot' the year. The class invited a good many guests and among these were the Laredo Tigers and the Devine football players. Sam Gurwitz, through the Lion Music Store, furnished the music t'or the evening.
