order that nothing might escape their

were suspended from the ceiling and
ornaments from that land were NUM-
erous and made perfect decorative

beauty and magnificence.
A Comparison.
The decorations during the past five
or six years at the high school for
this annual affair have been such that
1t. is difficult to make comparison.
The loyal Juniors last evening, thought
nothing could surpass their efforts and
the many seniors present were gener-
Gus in their praise and no words seem
ed too eloquent for the occasions. The
decorations were at least as good and
the equal OF any at the annual ban
Quet and nothing seemed lacking to
make tae affair a complete success.
During the entire evening the Juniors
set themselves to entertaining their
guests and until the march to the
banquet table started the reception
was a pleasant one.
Banquet Enjoyed.
At 10 o'clock to the tunes OF live
" march played by the RABIES or
chestra which furnished excellent mu-
sic from the landing between tae two
halls, the many present marched to
the long banquet table.
Every one found place card, hand
painted and containing the Latin,
"Esse Guam videri''"To be what
we seem to be" on the inside of the
cover, directing them to their seats.
The table which extended from one
end OF the long hall to the other was
decorated In ferns and contained many
candelabrums. The menu served in
| the best Of style was an excellent one
and reflects great credit upon the
supper committee.

No Speeches..
In years gone by it has been Gus
] tomary to have short addresses, or
1 after dinner talks given by the Senior
1 and Junior class presidents, the school
superintendent and members of the
faculty. This year the banquet was
/ original in the fact that all talks were
4 dispensed with and the many guests
were not required to remain through
several talks of Short or long dura-
ton, as the case might have been.
This plan seemed to meet with gen.
eral approval and when the menu had
been completed the guests repaired
4 once more to the lower hall.
j During the evening punch was sery-
ed by little Dorothy Reynolds and Ma
RE Moseley presiding over the bowl.
Lights Out.
{. While the many present were BAN
quoting the electric lights were turn
ed out by someone from the outside
and whap tho raft1rr, to thp IOwar hall
was made, everything was in darkness.
1t was necessary to transfer the can
delabrums to the lower hall and it
!. was some time before the damage
could be repaired.
The banquet was certainly one that
all the Juniors and Seniors should be
proud of and it at least equalled If
not surpassed all that have preceded
it,
