Music between acts was furnished by a music ensemble inder the direction of Mr. R. S. Forde.

This was one of the most memorable events of the school year. The guests were greeted at the door by clouds of con- fetti and other proofs of the gay surroundings which they were to enjoy. Movies, side shows and concessions served as the entertainment for the early part of the evening. Candy and lunches were sold. Numerous valuable prizes were given away by wholesale companies through the local dealers. All those who purchased adult tickets were eligible for the door prize of 1,000 lbs. of briquets. The evening was climaxed by the crowning of the Carnival Queen. Each class chose one of its mem- bers as a candidate for the honor. The Seniors chose Eloise Hagen, the Juniors, Eleanor Sylvester, the Soph- mores, Lorraine Brenden, and the Freshmen, Joan Hagert. All the ticket sellers worked hard for their candidates. The Seniors sold the most tickets and Eloise Hagen became the Carnival Queen for 1940-41. The net proceeds of this event were distributed among different activities, namely, music, athletics, declumation and a miscellaneous fund.-L. A. D. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls, basketball has been organized to arouse an in- terest in athletic sports among the girls. In the year 1937-38 we, as freshmen, joined the girls' basketball teams. We practised twice a week un- der the supervision of Miss Schendel. In the inter-class tournaments we lost to the well-groomed seniors, During our 1938-39 term, each sophomore seemed to make a resolution to win the tournament for that year, but as usual fate was once more against us and we lost to the juniors by a very small margin. During the year 1939-40 a combined squad of juni- ors and seniors joined the basketball team under the able supervision of Miss Dahlberg. On January 22, we were able to conquer the freshmen in a preliminary to a boys, game by a score of 17-10. In the inter-class tournaments we lost to the sophomores by a score of 27-24. During our 1940-41 year only half of our squad came out for practices, thus eliminating us from the inter-class tournaments. In a preliminary to a boys' game we lost to the juniors by a score of 29-19.
