wnio1'fSenio'r Banquet Wilbur Schefstad President of junior class The Home of the Red Man Happy memories of high school days are associated with the annual junior-senior banquet. Traditions of St. lVIary's High School are most carefully preserved in this cherished event, which is always characterized by originality and revelation, yet remains ever the same in its purpose, namely, Honor to whom honor is due. Unusual co-operation and lively interest played leading roles when the Class of '46 presented a banquet par excellence on April 26, 1945. An Indian theme with its many possibilities was carried out making the ban- quet hall a veritable reproduction of the red man's habitat. Ever alive in the memories of the class is the fact that this junior-senior banquet was judged superior to other high school banquets and given rec- ognition in a magazine having nation-wide circulation. On April 25, 1946 the junior class honored the seniors with a banquet, program and dance. Preparations for this day exacted long and deep delib- eration from the not-to-be-outdone junior class. A stony silence and set pur- pose marked their activities and planning. Not until the gorgeously-dressed senior girls escorted by matchlessly groomed senior boys, entered the dining room, did they realize that the juniors had set time back for more than two centuries and that they had transported their honored schoolmates half- way across the continent into the scenic colonial southland. Realism and suggestion brought cotton fields, log cabins, spinning wheels, fire places and sturdy colonials to the fore. The artistically-decorated table offered deliciously-prepared colonial foods served by the mothers of the juniors. The Sophomore boys converted into adept Negro servants, waited on the guests. Enchanting southern music and familiar songs of old southland filled the room. Flowers, favors, colors, all in excellent form and arrangement enehanced the scene and created a truly colonial atmosphere. A prominent place was reserved for a statue of St. Francis, especially- chosen patron of the Class of '46, The intage was adorned in a fitting man- ner and became on that day, verily, Everybody's Saint. 43
