P x y s A N 'D ,A X., nj jg, 'Whewl It's donel' 'Um-ns-ml' This year the Junior Class decided to bulld their booth for the Pottacazzar ln the form of a church. It was white with red and blue stalned glass windows made from cellophane. We won second prize of five dollars for neatness, originality, and the work that it required. In this booth, we sold fancy goods which were given by friends or made ln the Home Economics and Industrial Arts Classes. As well as having the booth, we sold chances on an electric 'steam and dry' iron. We also had a dart game, with small toy animals as prlzes which proved to be a lot of fun. The Junior Class Advisor, Mrs. Hmllton, helped greatly to make our part in the fair a success. Our class treasury was increased considerably during this time. Marilyn Robinson '53 The Sophomores are proud to proclaim that their efforts at the Pottacanaar this year were attended by success. After a great deal of planning and work, the Sophomores presented their booth, which represented a chuck wagon, complete with driver. Tanned and unshaven he carried his rlfle across his knees and looked as lf be were about to open fire on snautaudlng Indians. As well as winning first prize, this booth was much praised for its orlglnallty. 29

Pottacazzar Pottacaznar for the Seniors this year was very enjoyable and profitable. Our booth was a restaurant on the stage. The front of the restaurant was strips of wire strung from the floor of the stage to the ceiling. The wlre was decorated with fir boughs and different colored lights were strung up and down it. Our rnaln colors were green and white, our class colors. lnslde our restaurant there were tables and chairs set up to resemble booths, with wire covered with crepe paper to look like curtains at a window, separating the booths. Each booth was a secluded spot with a sprlg of fir around a candle, while was lighted when the occupants wished lt so. Many different ltlnds of foods were sold at our large counter A new attraction was added to our restaurant this year. It was a small, table sized 'jttke-box . lt was played continually from the time our booth was opened until lt was closed at night. Many people, besides the Seniors, enjoyed it very much. Our restaurant won third prize. Along with our restaurant, we had the 'penny-pitch' game. This brought us a considerable amount of money. We sold 'chance' tickets on a Fri- Well. This brought us a small profit. Beverly Ann Dolloff '52 ,,,.fv ' ,Y I . 1 fm Vxw fe. we at We'te ready. Soup's on. 28 N Nu

The Sophomore Class sold pastry and fudge ln their booth. They also sold chances on a Decca phonograph, which brought a good proflt to the class. Another source of proflt was the rlng toss game, which caused much interest and was tossed considerably. Everyone enjoyed the fair very much ldne partly to the fact that classes and assignments were shorter during this perlodl and looks for- ward to neat year when the falr wlll be held agaln. Roberta Gllllam '54 On the twelfth of December, 1061, the Freshman Class of Potter Academy began worh on their booth for the Pottacaaaar which began at one LM. on the thirteenth and fourteenth of that month and closed quite late each of those two alghts.
