The Junior Class had the largest returns with S180 net. The play room was the location of the event. Booths, strea.ers, confetti and people were all over the place. Bingo, roulette, baseball, shooting galleries and fish pond, beauty-traps, fun-house and cafe were all given a very busy time. An estimated 250 people attend- ed, spending about 32.00 apiece. Concession most liked by the children was the fun- house, and for the adults there were bingo and the base- ball throw. The hilarity went on until almost one o'clock. The food was naturally enjoyed by all. The queen contest at a penny a vote was won by Miss Betty Wright. She was crowned by Miss Barton. The recreation room was the scene of the fun fest and was by far the best decorated to date. Bigger and better carnivals are anticipated in the future. wa wish to thank everyone who attended for their active and beneficial co-operation.

JUNIOR PROM k SENIOR BALL The Annual Junior Prom was by far the most beautiful Promenade every beheld in Ye Old Murtaugh High. The extravagant decorations done in blue, greens and pinks conr plete with mermaids and King Neptune captured the eyes of the very large crowd who attended. In the center of the floor a huge castle dominated the scene. Queen Joyce Carlson, reigned over the evening. The Grand March which included all members of the high school was a colorful spectacle. Ernie fieed and his orchestra furnished the dovmbeat and the couples glided 'neath the waves. nUnderseaN being the theme, everyone was overwhelmed with the beautiful decorations. The eighth grade girls took charge of the refreshments. Two weeks' preparations were necessary, and a great deal of work was involved. The Junior Class offers it's profound gratitude to the faculty and all others who co-operated in this effort. Two weeks later the Seniors staged their Annual Senior Ball. The Junior Prom decorations were again used. The Seniors are also indebted to the Junior High Girls' who served refreshments. Bob Bai1y's orchestra provided the rythm.
