I K The Football Banquet t HE annual football banquet was held on December 4, 1926, at six o'clock at the Central High School building. The long table was placed in the hall on the first fioor, and was very beautifully decorated with large red and blue candles placed alternately the length of the table, and in the center a large bunch of red poinsettias. The red and blue nut cups and the place cards with the pictures of the squad on them added to the attractiveness of the table. The favors were large round blue pins with P. H. S. printed on them in red. Suspended from the pin were red and blue silk ribbons to which was attached a small football. At six o'clock the team appeared and after some searching succeeded in finding their places. VVhen the dinner, which was served in three courses was completed, Mr. Gates, who was toast-master, called upon the various members of the team for talks. Some of the boys seemed bashful but managed to say they hoped the coming season would be successful. Mr. Dietrich, Mr. Sims, and Coach lYertz gave splendid talks. The newly elected captain, Frank Babbitt, in his talk said he hoped he could fill the position of captain as well as Robert Comer had in the past year. Following this the boys presented the coach a handsome traveling bag with the understanding that he wouldn't take it as a hint to pack up and leave. The cooks and waitresses were called into the hall and given a cheer for their excellent dinner and splendid service. The banquet then broke up, the seniors rather regretting they wouldn't be back next year. The committees who had charge of the banquet were, Miss McKinney and Miss Nixon as decorating committee, and Mrs. Cashner and Miss Long in charge of the dinner. KATHERINE HIGGINS. High School Parties HERE have been two high school parties so far this year. The first one took place Saturday, October 23, in the form of a costume party. The teachers in charge were Mr. Gates, Miss McKinney, Miss Ruth Wilkinson, and Miss Motschman. At 7:30 a program was held in the auditorium. A clever play entitled Not Afraid was presented there. The cast consisted of Eleanor White, Clark Gabriel, Marion Rhoades, and Bobby Binford. The second part of the program was a Jack-in-the-Box dance, given by five girls. After the program, everyone went to the gymnasium where several prizes were awarded for the best costumes. Dancing was then enjoyed for the rest of the evening with Red Crabtree's orchestra. Both the junior and Senior High students attended, which made a large number of young folks. Everyone had a wonderful time, and returned home with another good time to add to his or her memories. The second high school party was held on Saturday, December 4, after the Football Banquet. The entertainment committee was made up of Miss McKin- ney, Miss Nixon, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Mote. A program was held in the auditorium at 7:30 to start the party. The Girls' Glee Club put on a clever program and an auction of lost articles was held with Clark Gabriel, Bob Comer, Mac Freshour, and Herman Chrowl acting as auctioneers. The letters were awarded to the members of the team and some of the boys received beautiful red sweaters. Later everyone went to the gymnasium which was beautifully decorated with red and blue paper and the school Hags. The dance music was very good and made everyone feel in the dancing spirit. Everyone had an enjoyable and satisfactory time and went home with happy memories. MARY MAURER. 84
