Y, . PEP PAGE SEVENTEEN PINTEXICO FAIR The Mexico High School Gymnasium took on the appearance of a show room December 13 and 14 when the Pintexico Fair got off to its start. The gym was a scene of much activity in those days of December 13 and 14, with students assembling carrying out last minute details of the fair. Orglnality was the keynote of the past year s choice of booths, and the decorations amply proved that a great deal of thought and planning went into the work. The Class of 1946 was represented by a red-brick fireplace. The theme seemed to be based on the legend of Santa Claus and the chimney. The fireplace was com- plete with logs and a mantel. Clever nov- elties which anyone would enjoy receiv- ing in a Christmas stocking were on dis- play at this booth. In addition a quilt was sold by the Seniors. Mrs. Murphy directed the entire project. The Class of 1947 borrowed their idea from the American Indians. Food of all types-in fact, everything except the cus- tomary pipe-was served from the Junior teepee. The tent, lavishly designed and decorated, harbored a quantity of delicious odors. As a special feature, the Juniors served a baked bean supper for which tickets were sold in advance. The Home Economics Department of the High School under the sponsorship of Miss Rollins pre- pared and served the supper. Mr. Norton of the faculty served as director of the class booth. Anchors Aweigh was the basis for the Sophomore Class booth. A grey U-boat loaded with pastries and candy, made its way into Mexico High School. Drawn to scale, it was a source of attraction for it- self as well as for the food display on, of all places, the conning tower. From the blunt nose to the periscope it was com- plete as a submarine. An electric iron was displayed for sale on this booth. Mrs. Thomas and Miss Perry sponsored this project. Harvest Hut, the Freshman road-side stand, found its shelves loaded down with canned goods. Decorated with blue and white, that stand was a replica of those one sees in the country in the fall. The Class of 1949 also sold a live rabbit, some SENIOR FAIR BOOTH JUNIOR FAIR BOOTH SOPHOMORE FAIR BOOTH V. 5. 1 in 'if'
