The 1940 Willamizzou SENIOR CARNIVAL The annual Senior Carnival was held on November 7 this year. A large crowd attended and helped rid the stands of their loads of candy, gum, novelties, pop and ice cream. The bingo stand was one of the main attractions of the eve- ning. The Hawaiian night club was a popular spot with its soft lights and waitresses in grass skirts. During the evening a closely contested race for the Carnival Throne was held between Seniors, Edith Pennington and June Brittell. After the floor had been cleared, the Queen processional began. It was led by last yeafs Queen, Miss Jo Lovan. She was escorted by Laura Lou Lovan and Keith Pennington. They were followed by the Attendants, June Brittell, Jeweldean Skaggs, Naomi Honeycutt and Edith Bottom. Next came Newton Brill carrying 'the crown and finally the Queen, Edith Pennington, with Prince Charming, Elliott Nelson. After the Queen had been crowned, members of the different classes pre- sented a program for her amusement. The Freshman Class held a fashion show with such lovely models as Rowe Findley and Don Phillips. The Junior Girlsi Quartet sang several numbers and Sadie Hawkins Day featuring the Weaver Brothers and Elviry was the presentation of the Senior Class.
