Cindy Hendrix peers from fortune teller booth for prospective customers. Grass and hippies make scene at carnival Free 'grass', peace symbols, and hippies were on the scene for the 1970 Senior Carnival, Octo- ber 31. The theme, Rock Festi- val, chosen by the Senior Coun- cil, offered new ideas to the annual carnival. The carnival offered the annual sponge and dart throw, kissing booth, fortune teller, casi- no and dance. New ideas includ- ed a stack of hay advertised as free 'grass' and psychedelic pos- ters proclaiming peace. The spec- tators and workers were attired in blue jeans, tie-dyed shirts, bare feet, and beads. The carnival was climaxed by the crowning of Janis and Jimi, Marsha Plunkett, senior, and Joe Dickinson, junior. The student body nominated and paid a penny a vote to elect the crowned couple to reign over the carnival. The winners received free entrance into all booths.
