Tradition plays a large part in the lives of Americans. Summerfield has a seemingly unbreakable tradition, an annual Banquet honoring the Seniors. The Juniors of ’48 faithfully and joyfully carried on. Invita¬ tions were sent for Friday 13thl Were they superstitious? Of course, no one was,but we should have known better than to tempt Fate,because Fate, in the form of the weatherman, stepped in and changed the date of the Junior-Senior Banquet to February 17th. The Bliss Banquet Hall was secured and dressed in Valentine array. This room became as real and as alive as the gaiety of the grinning boys and flustered girls. Tonight, Jeanie wasn ' t the stuffy little girl, who did your French and Geometry, but she was a cute li ' l number with spar- kle--leap year, you knowl Dolly Johnson, serving as Toastmistress, welcomed the guests. Then toasts flew back and forth, and little incidents evoked much laughter. Program booklets.being autographed by the famous people there, travelled around the tables, and on each go-round they were harder to decipher. From every side you heard someone say, I can ' t eat another bite , and then they would dig in the chicken again, heaped on their plates. After eating, and listening to numerous toasts, speeches, and musi¬ cal numbers, Mrs. Winchester taught us not to talk about ourselves so much, because when we said I , we forfeited a candy heart. Next we played a delightful game of dice hearts. Last, was an unrehearsed wed¬ ding. Rosebud Delicatessen (Mrs. Love) and Archibald Hercules Headlight (Richard Gamble) were married by a forbidding minister (Mr. Winchester). A number of Juniors and Seniors completed the wedding party. The Juniors bade the Seniors good-night, singing Now Is The Hour . Officially this night was over, but years later an incident will recall to the Seniors some part of their Banquet and they will make a mental note for remembrance. Thus reminiscing will keep them young.
