The Junior-Senior Banquet 955999 At seven o'clock on the evening of May fourth, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, the Junior Class entertained the Senior Class at a banquet. At the given hour the Juniors, together with their guests, entered the banquet hall through an old fashioned arched gateway. Their first impression was one of tranquilness illumined by soft lights, while over all floated the soft melodious strains of a tenor banjo. No less impressive was the scene which the hall itself presented. Gray lattice work, on which old fashioned flowers climbed, cover- ed the entire wall. Overhead was observed an evening sky, illumined with bright silvery stars and a balmy new moong which cast rays of light over a bench from where the strains of music could be heard. In the center of the floor was a large fountain-like pool on which floated several pond lilies, which device added to the realism of this old fashioned garden. Soon these schoolmates found their places. At the farther end of the banquet all was the head table where sat the toast- master, the guest of honor, and the speakers of the evening. Six smaller tables were ar- ranged about the room. The centerpiece of each table was a low bowl of sweet peas, the Senior Class flower. At each cover there was a sweet pea place card, a rose and gray petalled nut basket, and an old fashioned girl with the program and menu concealed in her rose and gray skirt. The following four course dinner was served: Grape Orange Cups Whipped Potatoes Creamed Chicken Buttered Peas Parker House Rolls Fleur de lis Salad Wafers Ice Cream Angel Food Cake Nuts Punch Mints While between courses and afterwards the following program was carried out: The Bud - - Welcome to Seniors Lyle Castles .
