The. food was served by the Sophomore girls and the Sophomore boys helped them wash the dishes. The tables were decorated with many kinds of pretty flowers, which gave a little extra-special beauty to the banquet. Speeches were given by Don Hoffman, president of the Junior class, and Leroy McVey, president of the Senior class. After the banquet the students remained to dance. Some of the Seniors try out their square dancing. And it was enjoyed by all. 15
