C994 -QQ -!oooo0 ooooss-QQ-TQOO JUNIOR BANQUET Banquets are just naturally a gran-d affair, but this one of 1940 is an extra special. The scheme is The Little Red School House and everything is cleverly arranged. Don't we all look sweet in the dunce caps? It brings back old memories. Goodness, there's so many juniors and seniors this year. However the juniors outnumbered the seniors two to one. Notice we said juniors two to one instead of Lucky Stripes. The attendance is nearly sixty. The girls all look lovely in their evening dresses, and thinking of it, the boys are rather handsome, too. Perhaps we had forgotten to tell you, but our toastmaster is Miss Jo Bryan. This food tastes good, too, but we must not eat too much or there will be a lot of making sashes and belts larger. Things are rolling along just swell. We know this banquet will be rehearsed in our memories many times. Yes, we are certainly building mountains of memories around the Junior-Senior Banquet of 1940. JUNIOR PLAY On November 17, 1939 A. D., the Juniors of 1939-40 presented one super colossal play- Here Comes Charlie. The plot concerned Larry, a young man, whose house was controlled by his aunt, Mrs. Farnham, and who adopted a hill-billy orphan wfho -he thought was a boy, but turned out to be a girl. From this situation there developed many laughs. The characters were as follows: Larry Elliott, the young man- Pat Haynes. Ted Hartly, Larry's college ehum- Virgil Garoutte. Mrs. Farnham, Larry's aunt- Dale Mullins. Charlie Hofpps, Larry's ward- Jo Bryan. Uncle Twiggs, Charlie's guardian- Leon Guthrie. Vivian Smythe-Kersey, Larry's fiancee- Peggy Whetstone.
