SENIOR SPRING CARNIVAL On May first and second the Seniors sponsored a HSpring Car- nivaln, the first of its kind, in the high school rooms under the sponsorship of Marian Henry, class Adviser. Many interesting forms of entertainment were offered. These included a NFun Housen managed by Ben Lamb, Bob Wilson, and Charles Hoff, a bingo game, directed by Mr. Henry assisted by Norma Frits and Mildred Pearsall at the tables, attracted many players during the course of the evenings who hoped Lady Luck would be on their side and they would draw at least one of the many valuable prizes offeredg a fishpond, supervised by Pat Walther which never failed to reward the Ufishermanng a bas- ketball throw in charge of Ed Sullivan, Robert Eckelberry, and Roger Vickroy rewarding the one who Hmade a basketn with a prizeg a novelty booth, in charge of Dolores Skelton and Mary Stearnsg a balloon board in charge of Darrell Griffin and Frank lin Bachman where for a thin dime customers could aim sharp little darts at balloons iand mostly miss 'em7.
