the enthusiastic students danced? Indeed, this dance was dif- ferent, not only because the students gave it, but because it was impromptu, and marked with the finest school spirit. Also different from the ordinary routine of school dances and entertainments, was the Million Dollar Senior Caniival on February 21, the biggest perfoiTnance of the year, and with- out doubt, the one which you remember the most about. The carnival is hoped by many to be the first of a series of car- nivals to be given, one each year, by the Senior class. That the first one was really a millon-dollar carnival was proved by the fact that here was a wide variety of entertainment, some- thing for everyone. If the persons, seeking amusement, were not satisfied in the wondrous side-shows, the general mer- chandise store, and if in none of these, surely in the jitney dance. The auditorium was disguised to such an ex tent that one felt he was in a strange place as he looked at the attrac- tive ceiling and the bright-colored booths. But by now your mind is more active than mine as it revives this first success- ful Senior carnival, so I shall let you complete the picture for yourself. March the 17th will long be remembered by the students of N. A. N. S. for two reasons: First, that it was St. Patrick ' s day, and second, that the Junior Prom took place on that day. Perhaps it would have been sufficient to have mentioned but one of these reasons, for St. Patrick ' s day certainly reminds you of the green and white decorations of the auditorium on this night, and the Prom certainly brings to your mind the green programs, the Ii ' ish decorations, all of the color of the shamrock, which remind you that it was St. Patrick ' s day. With all of these holiday reminders, together with the fine dance music, the Junior promenade, the confetti, and delicious punch, do you wonder that the Junior Prom was such a big success ? In reading over this column, I see I have neglected men- tioning the many dances we had for our visitors after athletic events. Do you remember what happened after the games with Jerome, St. Johns, Prescott, the Basketball Touniament, and the Track Meet ? Worthy of mention in the Society of La Cuesta are the school picnics which everyone recalls with pleasure. With the springtime in Flagstaff comes a change from the winter storms and winter weather to delightful sunshine and all nature ' s entertainment. This desire was satisfied by the two school picnics at Lake Mai-y. The ball games, the rowing, and the delicious fried steaks all help the students to remember these picnics. Something entirely new to this school or to any other school happened this year on May thirtieth when the en- tire student body of N. A. N. S. as well as faculty went to the Grand Canyon of Arizona, one of the seven wonders of the world. This fact alone assures the success of the picnic, and the success of the picnic assures the possibilities of the school taking similar trips in future years.
