SEWING ROOM CARNIVAL One of the most lively, fun-making events of the school term took place in the school gymnasium on November 4, 1939. On that evening people from Star- buck and the surrounding territory came to enjoy themselves. Side shows, concessions and movies made it a gay and noisy scene. Prizes of value were contributed by wholesale houses through our local dealers, adding an incentive to try the many and varied amusements. Later in the evening a fine program was given by the students, which was brought to a climax with the crowning of the Carnival Queen. Each of the four classes had elected a candidate for the honor. The Seniors chose Naomi Foss, the Juniors, Betty Overson, the Sophomores, Doris E. Hagen, the Freshmen, Betty Mae Forde. All the ticket sellers worked hard for their candidates. The Seniors were victorious and Miss Naomi Foss was chosen Carnival Queen of 1940. The carnival has always been a success both finan- cially and socially. It is sponsored by the High School Athletic Association, and the proceeds are used to help defray expenses of athletics, music, and declamation.

A modern youth who comes to snear - He falls for Florence, the eldest daughter. An officer who comes to arrest Cal, the spoiled son - He is captured instead by the alluring Sue.
