High School Juniors Eclipse All Form
er Affairs at Their Annual BAN
quet Last Night. -

Perhaps one of the most elaborate
affairs ever given by a local high
school junior class was the annual
junior-senior banquet last evening
given at the Columbus hall. Every
available space was decorated for the
occasion, a different scheme being car
RED out in each room. The recep>
ton room was perhaps one of the most
attractive. Overhead was a lattice
work of purple and white, the high
school %colors, and the walls were drap-
ed with a large assortment of BAN
ners. About the room was a series
Of cozy corners and easy chairs with
high school pillows n Grapes.
The dining room was decorated in
the colors of the individual classes,
red and black and orange and black
and the effect was very beautiful. The
chandeliers were shaded and stream
ers from the fixtures to the wall form
ed a canopy. On the tables were
marguerites and shaded candles. The
menu cards were very original, be-
ing diplomas in black and white, tied
with white ribbon and bearing the seal
'J-S' stamped over red and black
and Grange and black streamers.
The menu was a delicious one and
the service of the best. William Pear
and the programme of toasts was es-
pecially good. The welcome to the
senior class was given by Harold
k~urtzman, president of the junior
ma Pearson, president of the senior
class. The toast to the seniors by
Miss Margaret Meredith was very
unique. She im~personated a small
child n her tributes to various MEM
bers Of the class were received with
much applause. William Macfadden
gave a toast to the junior class in a
most capable way and the Words of
Advice from the principal, r. P. Rob
inson, were we'll received and duly
taken note of with hearty applause.
An impromptu talk was given by Sup
~erintendent Hoover which the young
people appreciated n Prof. A. L.
Smith was called upon.
The hall room was artisticallX ar
ranged with a Japanese color scheme.
In the centre was a huge umbrella
from which hung a shower Of tiny
lights. Trailers extended from the UNI
brella to the walls and on these were
hung a large number Of Japanese Ian
terms. The fixtures were shaded and
the balcony was screened with palms.
DIR. Putnam's orchestra neve played
better and the programme consisted
Of the very latest and catchiest dance
music.
cipa1 Robinson and Miss Hodge, and
informal dancing was enjoyed until
1920, when Hector Barnes took charge
and lead very successfully a pro-
gramme Of new and yerX much n
a bicycle race in which Fern Monsoon
and Murray Baldwin competed, the
former winning for his side the right
to dance. The young people were d.
vided into two sides, the puppies and
the whites and this color scheme was
carried out in a May pole figure which
was very effective. A tennis, figure
was also introduced, and a basketball
Der were formed in a grand march
abreast and the result was
very beautiful indeed, with the dainty
and various colored costumes of the
young ladies and the more somber at
tire Of the young men forming a field
of broken color.
The favors were Indian clubs, which
opened into fans, kodaHs, straw hats,
toy dogs and rabbits. and pearl COW
jorie Iceberg, Gladys Wellan and
Bailey presided over the
favor tables. Frappe was served dur
ing the entire evening.
The cotillion closed at 1890 and all
were unanimous in their praise and
appreciation of Mr.. Barnes as a lead
er and in the junior class as host. En-
tertainment was furnished for the
young people who do not dance, in the
in the class colors and a jolly
evening of games was enjoyed. A fact
which added greatly to the pleasure
the occasion was the presence of
the entire high school faculty who
served as chaperons. Every appoint
was perfect to the minutest de-
tail and the juniors are to be con-
graduated upon the splendid success
of their banquet, which is conceded
enjoyable events of the commencement
