746 W'- On the ninth of February, the Class of '46 presented the third Annual Carnival. Always a big event, this yearis carnival was really an unprecedented success. With Mina Shumwuy as our chairman, the entire class pitched in to put the proiect over us the biggest and best yet! The wonderful dinner, prepared by the senior mothers and served by the girls of the class, started the evening off in the right way. The credit for the arrangements for the dinner goes to our president, Patty Anderson, and Barberu Mueller, chairman. After dinner, visitors could patronize any or czli of the various concessions. These included a bake sale, a hog calling contest, a dart game, penny pitching, the white elephant sale, the old book sale, the Country Store, a check room, and, of course, refreshment stands. Under the direction of Stan McCracken, each class and school organization planned well and worked hard to contribute toward the seniors' goale this unnuult The prize for the most successful concession went to the freshmen, for their bake sale. At eight o'clock the main event of the eve- ning, the big Variety Show, attracted a capacity- plus audience--bigger even than weld hoped for. This success was well deserved, for the show was packed with talent,- and, as directed by Barbara Spelman, it went off like clockwork. Climaxing the evening was the Carnival Dance, managed by Chloe Schmidt and Laird Durham. With the Dance Band furnishing the music, this was one of the year's best dancese an appropriate climax to an evening of fun. We wish to express our appreciation to all who helped, most especially the mothers who so generously gave their time and efforts. Thanks also to all the classes, whose co-operation made the carnival a success. We hope that other classes will give you the same generous support that you have given us. PWQ 75c 66mm of '46 65 LL
