flag? 3Wttj-stx FOOT BALL BANQUET According to previous arrangement between the Foot Ball Eleven and the High School girls by which the latter agreed to entertain the team at a banquet after each game that they won. After the game between the M. H. S. and Watseka, which resulted in a score of 9 to 12 in our favor, graciously issued an invitation to the team to a chicken pie dinner at the Episcopal Rectory, Monday evening, October 18, 1908. The invitation was readily accepted and on Mon¬ day evening about forty in all, including the faculty, assembled at the beautiful Rectory. Each one was allowed to draw a small paper foot-ball on which was written the score of the game and a name. The boys drew girls’ names and the girls’ drew boys’ names, and as they corre¬ sponded each received a partner for dinner. The tables were beautifully decorated and brilliantly lighted with candlelabras. As the crowd was rather late in gathering, they heartily welcomed the dinner, which consisted of the following: MENU Chicken Pie Pickles Cranberry Sauce Coffee Rolls Pumpkin Pie Doughnuts After dinner was served all arose and sang favorite High School songs to Mr. Bainum’s well accompaniments. Soon afterwards they all departed and in a crowd walked through the village streets giving school yells. At a late hour the party broke up, with an expression of sincere thanks on the part of the boys for the splendid time they had had. And we fully appreciate the kindness shown us in giving us the free use of the Rectory and the splendid dinner and the royal entertainment given by the Ladies’ Guild. Junior Year Book, THE TURNER ART EXHIBIT. The Turner Art exhibit was held in the Philomathian hall, Octo¬ ber 14, 15, 16, 17, 1908. This was the second time our school has had the exhibit, and the exhibit was open to the public both afternoon and evening and all school children who had purchased tickets were allowed during vacant periods to study the pictures. The exhibit consisted of reproductions of the most famous mas¬ terpieces in painting, sculpture, architecture and many of the mod¬ ern paintings. The exhibit was one which could be enjo yed by all and this was probably the cause of the good attendance. In the evening, programs were given by the different classes. The first evening by the Freshmen, the second by the Juniors, the third evening by the Seniors and the fourth evening by the Sophomores. On two of the evenings short plays were given. The programs were very interesting and successful. The candy booths were also centers of attraction. On the day the class had charge of the program, that class also had charge of the candy booth. The classes bought pictures with the proceeds from the sales. The purpose of the exhibit was to purchase pictures for the school. Since each picture adds to the general appearance of the room, each class was anxious to receive its picture. The .following pictures were purchased with the proceeds Kind Frame, Wide, List Picture Size. Brown. Margin, Mat. Price.
