$enion Cannian On Saturday evening, February 28th, the Senior Class presented the annual Senior Carnival. This was without a doubt one of the most important occasions of the year. The affair got under way at 5 P. M. when the din- ner of tomato juice cocktail, baked ham, escalloped potatoes, green peas, cole slaw, ice cream and cake, which was prepared by the Senior mothers, was served by the Sen- ior girls. They continued serving until 7:30, when most of Mariernont, Fairfax and Plain- ville had enjoyed this delicious meal. The concessions were opened at 5 o'clock and the public was entertained until 8:30, when they were closed in preference to the Variety Show. Coats were checked, books and plants were sold, fortunes were told, voices were re- corded, games were played, fish were caught, and the prize winning concession was the Bake Sale, sponsored by the Freshmen Class! Anchors Aweigh Plainville High was pre- sented by some of the more talented members of Plainville's student body, plus the Wasaka Boys' Club under the direction of Mr. Bernard Mason. After the show the concessions were opened again so the kiddies could beg for just one more coke. At 10:30 the dance, sponsored by the Alumni, was started, and at 11 the King and Queen of the Carnival, Bob Larson and Nancy Bailey, were crowned. This was the climax of the evening and Plainvilte's students, faculty, parents, and friends went home, having enjoyed the never-towbeefore gotten Senior Carnival of 1948. 104
