f' 'J Yeninr :mixer QBUR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES of this school year were ushered in by the annual Senior Mixer held on September 27, 1929. This event not only proved to be an enjoyable occasion but it gave the students an opportunity to become acquainted with their new school mates and teachers. The Seniors wanted to make their party a success so they decided to punish each class and the faculty by making them contribute some stunt to the program. Many laughs were derived from each stunt, but, much to the envy of the classes, it was decided that the honor of having the best stunt should go to the faculty who certainly strutted their stuff in the March of the Wooden Soldiers? The bold, bad Highwayman's appearance on the scene was provided by the Juniors. The Sophomores in, i'Needed-a Wife made us all feel sorry for them. As for thrills, they were furnished in the Spanish Bull Fighti' presented by the Freshmen. A mirth provoking characterization of the wedding of John Coolidge and Florence Trumbell was given by our baby class, the Junior High. At the conclusion of this delightful program, we all adjourned to the gymnasium where dancing and the playing of games proved to be a diversion of the evening. The refreshments served by the Seniors, consisted of cider and doughnuts. After this, everyone left voicing the one thought-that ri good time was had by all. 7 reslimen Qfieneptinn EHE FRESHMAN were given a reception by the Sophomores instead of the usual initiation. The effect of this kindly treatment has been refiected in the students all year. They are such models of behavior we think this pre- cedent should be followed. Our class colors, purple and gold, brightened the gymnasium in which the jolly company of Freshmen were entertained. Refreshments of cake and ice cream were servedg after which the guests departed with many expressions of a happy time. -E. E. P. '32 Page Twenty-seven

YJ C fUunior Glarntoal EHE HERALD for the Junior Class proclaimed the Carnival to be held on the night of October twenty-fifth. This was the gala night of all Junior ac- tivities. The large crowd first assembled in the auditorium where a delightful program was given. Features of the program were: selections by the orchestrag The Ghosts Walk, presented by the eighth gradeg a vocal solo, When My Dreams Come True, Regina Theriaultg Cat Pie, by the Juniorsg and the crowning stunt, The Rainbow Chorusfi which consisted of twelve boys train- ed by Miss Pike. This stunt took the crowd to the open doors of the gymnasium with cheerful expressions. The gymnasium seemed to be fairly alive with booths of various descrip- tions, all decorated in brilliant colors. The audience took great pleasure in viewing the Room of Horrors, Great Dogs of the World, and Men Only. The Beauty Parlor showed them how really good looking they could all be, and the Nigger Baby Stand and Fish Pond gave every one a chance to try their luck at getting various prizes, while being showered with confetti. Oi course the Hot Dog and Ice Cream stand never lacked customers. During all this hilarity voting for the Queen was going on. At ten 0'clock the voting ceased and the Junior candidate-Rosella Williams, was chosen as Queen. Dressed in a royal robe of white she took her place on the throne. Grouped around her were her attendants: Elve Wilson, Neta McDade, Regina Theriault, and Genevieve Rush. Our superintendent, Mr. Murphy, formally crowned her the Queen of the Carnival. This seemed to be a signal for increased hilarity for a jazz band struck up, the floor was roped off, and was soon covered with dancers. Most of the audience were so happy over having such a completely good time that they literally danced their way home. Sophomore Igarig for 1112 Siuoeni going A CONTEST was held to see which would buy the most student body tick. 'j ets: and as we poor Sophomores lost, we had to give a party for the student body.
