1011 M55 Carl Thompson Saturday, August 28 Dear Mom and Dad, . . . Remember how I told you about that real big formal banquet we have every year, the Junior!Senior Banquet? Well, it won't be held until April, but already they've appointed co-chairmen to work on it CGary Augustine and Pam Grahamb. Can you believe it-less than a week since we've been here and already they're drafting peo- ple . . . Tuesday, September 2 . . . Guess what? Remember that banquet I was telling you about? Well, you should hear the neat idea some of the guys came up with. You know how this year is the bicentennial? Well, we're going to have a multi-media presentation on how Christianity has affected our nation. It will depict people who played major roles in shaping our country's Christian heritage. The way they described it, it ought to be pretty good . . . Wednesday, September 24 . . . Well, it was just a matter of time. I should have known. I mean, how can you have a multi-media presentation without people to write a script? Gary asked me if our Jrn. 201 class could help with the writing. Like a dummy, I said, Sure! Never volunteer others for a project. They almost crucified me! So, I went to Gary to take back my sure , I got the others off the hook, but somehow I managed to remain on the committee. Oh well, after all, I did want to help in some way. And it probably won't take up too much time. I mean, with the banquet a whole six months away . . . Senior Inherit Wednesday, October 22 . . . We had a class meeting last night. Gary Augustine filled in everyone about the Junior!Senior Banquet plans. Committee chairmen were officially appointed and sign-up sheets were filled out. Gary's a regular F.D.R. He's even got committees for the committees! I think it's neat how they're trying to get everyone involved. I figured I should do my part. So I signed up Chuckie. Wait'll she finds out! Thursday, October 30 . . . Oh yeah, remember when I told you about the entertainment we have lined up? I think you might have misunderstood me. NO-we aren't doing a baby skit. When I said strollers , I was talking about two gals who will walk for strolll around the floor as they play their accordians and sing. It's really neat how we happened to hear about them. They're both Christians and are employed as entertainers at a restaurant here in town. It's a good thing we've asked them far in advance so they can plan for it . . . Tuesday, November 25 . . . S.O.S. PRAY! It's taking us hours and hours of research for the banquet script. Fred Long and Gary Augustine are going to write the actual script. I'm just one of the people helping in the research end of it. But that's plenty to keep me busy. The really frustrating part is that I'm not finding much information. The others are having the same problem. It seems like we have to seive through whole volumes just to scrape up a paragraph of relevant info. And to top it off, I've got assignments due, plus finals just around the corner . . . The Sonday Singers , ll group from Hinson Memorial Baptixt Church provide entertainment at the banquet.

the Nation Sunday, November 30 . . . Boy, I'm sure glad I'm not in Shirley Brown's shoes. She's got a lot of respon- sibility as our class treasurer. I learned a lot just by talking to her today. I never knew banquets were so expensive! But it's exciting to see how God has used our financial limitations to prompt us to creativity . When Fred Harris fthe site chairmanb told our class cabinet how ex- pensive it is to rent a room just for the reception, Mr. Needham four class ad- visory came up with a super good idea. He suggested that we hold the reception in the faculty members' homes . . . Tuesday, December 9 . . . Guess what? We're having a Junior guy and gal at each faculty members house to act as the host and hostess for the recep- tion. I talked to Marion Snyder today Cshe and Nevelle Kuckuck are the reception co- chairmenb, and it looks like I'll be one of the hostesses. Boy, I hope I'll get invited to the banquet Monday, January 5 . . . Good news! !! You can stop praying - I'm going to the banquet! . . . john Legas, Slmron Liitleton. Melody Gorbet and Smit Hamlin relax at lbe receplion at Prof. john Lawrencek home before the banquet. Thursday, January 15 . . . Things are really shaping up for the banquet. The chosen site has been con- firmed. It's going to be held at the Uni- versity of Portland. We're trying to get the Sonday Singers ffrom Hinsonl to perform as a part of our entertainment. You might pray about that. Chuckie's assisting Nadine Olberg on decorations. They've got some creative ideas to work with. The tables will each seat eight people with five tables in a group. Each group of tables will be arranged around a hub to make them look like stars Wednesday, February 11 . . . Well-God did it again. I hear that there were some minor personality clashes causing problems, but they all seem to have been ironed out. In fact, some of the people involved have found that they do like each other after all! . . . Tuesday, February 17 . . . I'm beginning to feel that we struck out as far as timing for the banquet goes. Mr. Groenlund is giving some talks on ma- jor revivals in our country's history. I hope he doesn't steal all our thunder . . . Carl Thompson l l Ill KDS M53 Q13 Fm svvm
