'-S'73 On April 16 at the Lakeside Inn, the senior class of 1948 was honored and royally enter- tained by the class of '49. The banquet was named 'Plantation Partynand was cleverly planned to bring a bit of the'Old Southn to the Lakeside dining room. The mem- bers of the faculty, guests, and juniors de- lighted in the entire evening from the delici- ous dinner and appropriate program to the fi- nal dance in the lobby of the hotel. Tim Poulton, the junior presids t, welcomed the guests with his speech entitled 'Welcome to Dora Hall.n Jummy Vincent responded with NNothing Could Be F1ner.' The president ot the sophomore class, George Sims, told the seniors NYou Is Mighty Lucky.' 'I's Here to Tell Ya' was the title of Mr. W. A. VLncent's address. Next came WDown In the Cornfield' by Helen Miles, who let everyone in on the latest gos- sip. Patty Claflin presented a peek into the future with nsome of these Days.' Mary Jo Burr and Roy Dutton asked '0h,Don't You Rememberf' as they revived memories of past happenings. Appropriate gifts were presented to the senior class of '48 by a member of the junior class, Adrianne Norton. The senior farewell speech was given by Carol Swort, who assured that'0ld Times Dar Are Not Forgotten.' These humorous and interesting talks were not all that was enjoyed, however. Plantation melodies played and sung proved to be one of the evening's highlights. Billy Lofroos, C.L. Keen, Clyde Mosteller, and Verdual Hamlin, the Plantation Boys, entertained as a quartet with the song 'Shortnin' Bread.' Pleasing selec- tions on the guitar and accordian were played by C. L. Keen and John Gargano. Mary Foucart demonstrated her ability, for writing whenvshe presented an amuslng skit in whlch sophomores served as the cast. A lovely solo, nRaccoon Lullaby,' was sung by Adrianne Norton, and a duet was given by Lois Driver and Barbara Shipes. . Thanks goes to the hard - working committee members of the Junior class who made the ban- quet a big success.
