Slip Junior-Mentor Sanquet The annual Junior-Senior banquet was held in the High School gymnasium Friday, February 26, 1915. The halls were brilliantly lighted, voices and laughter filled the air and all hearts were light and happy. For this occasion the usually quiet and orderly gymnasium was changed into a scene which could easily compete with the most beautiful reception room and banquet hall. The plain white walls were literally covered with pennants representing many educational institutions and organizations. The figure ’15 made of pennants attracted special attention. The Black and Orange were artistically interwoven in many ways. After a social hour, couples were formed and marched down the stairs to take their places at the long table, which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. A daffodil was gracefully curved in the form of a semi-circle around each plate. When we were seated an elegant five-course banquet was served by Miss Simpson’s well-trained waitresses and waiters. As the banqueting proceeded each of us realized more than ever the truth of Holmes’ statement that “The true essentials of a feast are fun and feed.” After we had eaten. Alverta Buchta acted as toastmistress in a very creditable manner. Ralph Reed responded to the toast, “Seniors,” telling us of the regard in which the Seniors were held by the Juniors and of their appreciation of our friendship. Esther Wieseman gave a toast to the “Juniors,” characterizing each member of the class. Supt. Moore having the subject, “The Crimson and the Cream,” drew for us great and wonderful pictures in the work of Engineering, Art and Science, which might be accomplished by graduates of the school whose colors are “The Crimson and the Cream.” When the toasts were given the banqueters were favored with vocal solos by Misses Col-lings and Bess Gylling, and an instrumental solo by Miss Glenis Anderson. The evening was in every way a great success and will be remembered by all members of both classes as one of the most enjoyable events of their High School life.

The Senior Class was informed by their president that the Alumnae of the Osceola High School would entertain in honor of Mr. Moore and the Seniors on Friday evening, May 7th, at the school house. We all looked forward to this event with great anticipation because we knew how capable they were of entertaining. We were met at the door by Leah Shaw, Winnie Johnson and Florence Miller, and were then ushered up to the hall on the first floor. We spent the time visiting and renewing old acquaintances. When all the guests had arrived we were led by Mr. and Mrs. Moore in a grand march to the lower hall where the table was arranged. It was beautifully decorated with lilacs and tulips and the place cards carried out the scheme of our High School colors, the Crimson and the Cream. We were served a delicious five-course banquet. which we all enjoyed. After each course a musical number was rendered. The first number was a vocal solo by Miss Vera Peterson, the second number was a piano solo by Miss Mildred Richmond, and the third was a piano duet by Misses Vera Peterson and Ruth Walker. After this delightful program we were favored with toasts by different members of the Alumnae. Mr. Pearce acted as toastmaster. The first toast. “The Allies,” given by James Mickey, represented the Alumnae. The next toast, “In the Trenches,” was given by Myrtle Dolan, and represented the different lines of business in which the Alumnae were engaged We were next favored with a violin duet by Geralyn Walrath and Marie Mickey with a harp accompaniment by Maurine Walrath. Then Leah Shaw responded to the toast, “The Recruits,” which represents the Seniors and inspired us to be loyal members of the Alumnae. The next toast, “The Aerial Squad” representing tin Faculty, was given by Esther Campbell. After this. Ray Leibee responded to the toast. “The Submarine.” Then came “The Victory,” by our superintendent, Mr. Moore. After this we dispersed and went to our homes, resolving in our hearts to be loyal always to our Dear Old High School. A SENIOR. Twenty six
