JANUARY SENIOR ACTIVITIES Senior Picnic October 15, 1936, the day of the Senior Picnic! At 1:30 p. m., packed tight in cars, the members of the class motored to the Masonic Park near Marietta. The swings and seesaws were kept busy from the time the first persons arrived until the last left. The program arranged by the entertainment committee consisted of games and contests, with prizes' for the winners. At 5:30, the call, Come and get it, was followed by a veritable stampede. They came and got it! After everyone had eaten until he couldn't eat any more, and the clean-up committee had performed its duty. the Senior Picnic was over and everyone left for home. 'Color Day On December 9th the Seniors came to school adorned with their class colors, crim- son, blue, and gold. The girls wore hair ribbons and the boys, bow ties. The Color Day program represented a reunion which took place in the 'home of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Phillips fthe former Ellen Sherwoodj in the year 1957. Among the guests attending the reunion were Mr. and Mrs. William Guice fthe former Pauline Schultzj and their twelve children, and Professor Rat McMahan, who was still carrying his yo-yo. When all the guests had arrived, a 1937 Parhischan was brought out and as the pages were turned many good times were recalled, The pictures came to life and entertained the guests. Senior I-II Party The Senior I's entertained the Senior II's on the evening of January 18th with a movie party in the auditorium of the high school. Sweetheart of Sigma Chi pro- vided the entertainment. After the show, refreshments were served in the cafeteria. where the cafeteria orchestra provided further entertainment with a musical program. Everyone had a grand time. Junior-Senior Banquet The Masonic Temple banquet hall and balcony on the evening of January 19th. when the Junior II's entertained the Seniors, resembled a motion picture studio set for a picture of a fashionable party. Handsome, well-dressed young men, beautiful girls in fluffy long dresses, flowers, and all, might have been used for a colossal production. The banquet hall was arranged like an artist's studio. Favors and programs, designed in the Senior class colors, were the artist's brushes and palette. Balloons strung from the four corners of the balcony added a further festive touch. After the banquet, Toastmaster Bailis Bell presided over an entertaining program. FRANCES HYRE page twenty six
