The Junior-Senior Banquet Ladies and Gentlemen, gather 'round, and I'll cell you of a great festival, The junior-Senior Banquet. Ar last the long-waited-for day arrived. Any other time April I5 probably would have been just another day, but not the April I5 of I94I. No, this meant saying farewell to the seniors as they leave Fort St. Anthony and travel into Fort Future. We were all dressed in our gay evening dresses. What a thrill! Each junior selected a Senior for her partner as we met in the living room before we marched to the banquet hall to see what awaited us there. And, lol as the doors to the dining room were flung open, such a beautiful sight met our eyes. For in front of us we saw our beautiful Flag draped at the other end of the room. On each side there were long red, white, and blue streamers outlining the table that was in the form of a cross. Tall red, white, and blue candles and flowers added the right touch, and showed us the way to our own fort. Each of these was of gray stone, with small American flags waving at the top. After the scramble for our places, we noticed the bowls of red,Xwhite, and blue stock. Pretty! A We stood while our dear Mrs. Goodwin, who was at the head of the tables, returned thanks and asked God to bless us and our food. And then-on with the banquet! By our plates we saw the American emblem, which, when opened, disclosed the menu and program for the evening. The program began with the address by Miss Clapper, the president of the junior class, welcoming the seniors to a festive evening. lvfembers of the junior class gave toasts to the Sisters of St. Francis, Miss Slief, Mrs. McAtee, Miss I-Iaines, Mrs. Goodwin, and a. toast to the Nation and to the Future. We regretted that Mrs. McAtee was unable to attend the banquet. We enjoyed immensely the solo by Miss Shouse and the duet by Miss Schier and Miss Strickland. Anchors Aweighu by the chorus of girls who played the part of waitresses for the evening was very fitting. They were dressed in white blouses, blue skirts, and gob hats, with a banner of red across their shoulders and looked like real sailor girls. Miss Allen told us in the class History of the happenings and events ofher class for the last three years. V The Class Will was read by Miss Wiemers. Before she began reading it, she said she hoped its contents would be taken in the spirit in which it was given. We were glad to know it was given in the right spirit. Miss McHugh and Miss Sims did a nice job of gazing into the crystal ball, so to speak. We are glad we already have a glimpse of our departing seniors as they will bd in Fort Future. As they know, we wish for them the best of luck and happiness. When the word banquet is mentioned one,naturally thinksof feasting, and that is exactly what we did. We had fried chicken with all the trimmings, and we certainly enjoyed it. - We weren't quite through eating when we thought we were, for, the next thing' we knew, nuts and red, white, and blue mints were being passed. They added the finishing touch. Thanksgiving was said by Mrs. Goodwin before we left the- dining room to meet again at the K. of C. hall for the long-awaited dance. Needless to say, on the evening of April 15, I94I a wonderful time was had by all. -MARIORIE FITZPATRICK. The Other Ghost I-lorrorsl What a show. Terrifying, outrageousf, The breathtaking story of The Other Ghost, enacted in our auditorium last evening, was surely the most sensational all-American, all-star performance brought to the stage in the history of St. Anthony's. In the setting of a spooky mountain cabin, on February 20, at eight o'clock, the Senior Class presented its annual play. It all began one autumn day in late afternoon when Dr. Thorpe Cplayed by Miss Berneyj and her friend, Eudora fMiss Streckerj, invited their hiking club to the cabin on Bear Mountain for the week-end. There they met Sylvia Kirkland QAgnes Attawayj, a frail, blind friend of Dr. Thorpe's, and Tibatha Moore QFaye Lambertj, her nurse. A , Those spending the night in the cabin were: Grace Gibson fGeraldean Richeyj, who liked her fun but terrified the audience with her blood-curdling screams, Annette Sales QMary Mcl-Iughb, who had been abroad and had much difficulty adjusting herself to the mountain cabin, Ioyce Penniman QVerna Mae WClmCfSD, who liked to be lazy and was
