The Harvest Bazaar, this year headed by Mrs. Frank Hahn, was a booming success. Everyone had a great time , and there was plenty to satisfy all. The Nearly New Shop, the Flea Market, the Bakery, etc. had hundreds of value-priced items. For the young at heart, the carnival was a place of great enjoyment. And if one needed to take out his frustrations, he could throw wet sponges at his favorite faculty members at the booth sponsored by Interact. Because of the great times enjoyed by everyone , and because of the unbelievable bargains , next year's Harvest Bazaar is eagerly awaited .
