A large crowd was drawn by the shouts of barkers, antics of clowns, and the bright costumes of stand workers at the Junior Carnival on March 25. Some of the many attractions were Dunk the Clown; miniature golf; the cake walk; Madam Zingara, the fortune teller; and the auction that sold everything from sweaters to tailpipes. Side amusements included an original fun house and side show. A variety show sponsored by the student council followed the carnival. A balloon drop filled with confetti floated to the floor silently covering the crowd while they danced to the music of Ray Cisneros' Band. B. Paulson receives kisses from K. Olson and B. VanWinkle for finding the red heart. Carnival Starts Spring Activities After being dunked several times, this poor clown, B. Anderson, has to mop up the water.

Linda Flavin and Jeff Underwood, crownbearers, captivate the audience with their dancing and smiles. The seniors accepted an invitation extended by the junior class to spend an evening on Bali Hai. King of the Islands, Robert Gord, and Aloha Girl, Doris Trout, welcomed the guests to an attractive banquet and the after dinner entertainment. Karen Hardersen and Philip Lindner sang last year’s theme song, Raintree County. Junior Surf Singers then set the mood for the 1961 prom, Song of the Island, by performing melodies from South Pacific. The seniors were astonished by the full effect of the paradise which had once been a gym. A huge lava-streaked volcano greeted them with fiery red action. The George Nickles band seemed to be inspired by their grass-hut corner, for their version of Bali Hai was very exotic. Giant palm trees stretched up to a clear blue sky. The Island of Bali Hai sported an oversized yellow pineapple, in which Queen Ginger Phelper and King James Gavic were crowned. But the most beauteous and popular spot was the charming wishing pond. Four reluctant ducklings and a frog enjoyed swimming amidst the jungle of greens and flowers. The waterfall above this placid scene cascaded colorfully down amid the flowers and greens. The spell of this island paradise touched everyone with a magic bliss. Pretending to be native boys is exciting to Manuel and Oscar Cervantes, who unrolled the white carpet.
