All these experiences transformed the fieldhouse into a colorful carnival on April 6. Hearts of all ages became young once more as carnival goers poured through the gates between one and six o’clock to be captivated by the exhibits and games of chance. Climaxing the day’s festivities was a dance with music by the World Column. Pat Benchik was crowned Carnival King and reigning with him was Queen Shirley Teliga. Carnival profits were used to defray junior class prom costs in addition to senior gift expenses. Dick Good, president of the Munster High School Speech and Debate Club, assisted by Valerie Astolas, supervises the Pastry Shoppe. Club members put their culinary talents to the test and brought baked goods for the booth. Creamy pies, rich cakes, frosted doughnuts, cookies of all shapes and sizes and flavors, smooth fudge, chewy brownies and decorated cupcakes proved popular with hungry carnival goers. Sponsoring the pro- ject were Mr. Ed Burkhardt, Mrs. Helen Engstrom, and Miss Dorothy Christoff. ACTIVITIES 27
