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. Then there was a Nmilk bottle standn operated by Dolores Hayes and Jac Kerr who enticed customers their way in honey tones, UOnly ten cents a throw--knock all the bottles down at one blow and win a prize The side shows were fun for all and drew large crowds, the most attractive being that famous black-faced comedy team, Larry At- kinson and Marvin Wuehle. Says Larry to Marvin, HI ain't igner unt. I'se just plain dumb.H Says Marvin, HYessir, youse dumb- er than what you-all look.W Larry Atkinson's circus with shapely Roland Mose in ballet cos- tume doing a tight rope act got a big hand. Dewey Lund dis- played his remarkable skill as a juggler. Alan Anderson's big biceps gave him the title of HStrong mann and enabled him to lift enormous weights Cwho'd think itb. Muggs Warren, armless since he was two, by a strange miracle suddenly found himself in possession of appendages when a big ripe banana appeared so enticingly before him. Then there was a movie in charge of Dick Ayers with three different reels of films, mostly comedy, which attracted crowds of children and added close to 5550 to the proceeds. The high lights of both evenings was the raffle of a basketball personally autographed in red by each member of the nRed Dev- ilu basketball squad. Bryce Frits Sr. and Sue Lamb were the two lucky winners. Muggs Warren was in charge. Blair Thornbloom and Frances Peterson operated a Uring tossn stand.

CDee Skelton's boy friendb, dressed as a clown with a very long red nose, offered this appendage as an attraction to the ring tossers in lieu of the pegs. The rest of the time Rusty sold balloons and did clownish tricks to the amusement of the children present. Frances Gilbert made herself very useful both nights of the Carnival by changing folding money into silver dimes for the benefit of fun seekers at the various stands. Joyce Tyler had a gaily decorated one-man stand which offered cold drinks for ten cents. Mothers of the Seniors served hot coffee with home made cake and pie in the Home Ee rooms, also offering cakes, pies and cookies for sale to highest bidders. As a climax to this gala event, a Carnival Queen was selected by popular vote from among all girls enrolled in high school. Each dime spent entitled the spender to one vote, extra votes were five cents. Top favorites were Sue Lamb, who polled the highest Mary Stearns, and Nancy Skelton. Sue was crowned Queen of Port Byron High School amid the applause of the aud- ience by Larry Atkinson, Senior class president. Two evenings of good, clean fun, generously supported by both the high school and the community, were provided through the efforts of the Senior Class and Marian Henry, their sponsor. Gross proceeds were 5448 of which S275 were net, and will be used to purchase a much needed electric score board for use next year at basketball games--the Seniors parting gift to the school.
