SENIOR CARNIVAL The annual Senior Carnival was held Tuesday night, November 12, in the 01d gymnasium and was a grand success. There were many attractions, including side shows, night club, bingo stand, picture show, fish pond, ball-throw, and many others. In the closely-contested race for queen, Frances Mitchell emerged the winner. Dressed in a beautiful blue gown, she came in with Prince Charming Gene Clingan, who placed the shining crown upon her head. Attendants were Katherine Lovan, Naomi Honeycutt, Louella Strome and Mary Sass. Crown Bearer was Mickey Rhodes, and Jean Callihan was the Flower Girl. Mrs. Gooich was the lucky winner of the beautiful lamp on which chances were bought. A program, highly amusing, and very interesting, was presented. 1 A11 in all, it was a ttswell carnival, and we feel right proud of our- se ves. - JUNIOR HIGH ACTIVITIES The junior high had a very entertaining school year, engaging in many activities. The basketball team won six games, lost two, and won the con- solation prize in the tournament. During the year the junior high gave several plays which were .very en- tertaining. Mr. Atkinson organized the How and Why Club. The officers are Robert Bruce Ferguson, president; Van Bunjer, vice president; Elmo Spencer, secretary; and Jimmy Nelson, reporter. We did many stunts at the basketball games and took part in the May Festival. Many of the junior high students play instruments in the high school band and orchestra and attended the contests. Mr. Plummer has taught us ttfree-hand't drawing and the making of pottery, both which have been very interesting. Altogether the school year has been very successful.
