Junior - Senior Carnival The annual Junior and Senior carnival was held October eighteenth, 1949 at the D Community Hall. The fates seemed to favor the festival for they granted fair weather. People also were kind and came in great numbers to find pleasure in the various activities that the students had planned for them. Phyllis Odell and Glenn Himelick had charge of the fish pond which proved to be a chief attraction for the grade children. At one time there was a line almost all the way across the hall waiting to take turns at fishing for the prizes. Phyllis and Glenn being behind the curtain and out in front. One took tickets while the other on the hook. A convenient hole in the curtain gave each a chance to size up and so give an appropriate prize.

They also sold chances on a big live turkey. Ben Jester won the turkey-which he later reported as gracing his Thanksgiving Day table. ' 30

Reed Holaday, Marilyn Fisher, and Joyce McGunegill coaxed people toward the Bingo stand. There were many beautiful prizes to be given away there, so every one was eager to play. All these prizes had been donated by business houses of Losantville and surrounding towns. Some were quite valuable and winners seemed satisfied with their gifts. Reed used his loud speaking outfit to call numbers. He conducted this and the auction sale of remaining prizes in quite a professional way. Pat Quate took care of the king and queen votes. After a close race, Mearledean Corkell was crowned as queen and Dean Lester was crowned king. Mearledean was given a corsage of roses while Dean was given a leather billfold. Both gifts were donated by different businessmen. Virginia Metsker, Mary Pangborn, and Mike Wiggins were very busy all evening at the refreshment stand.
