seniors are going to close the year
with q genuine. full-fedged, formal
banquet. A class meeting was held
yesterday afternoon to decide what
the class would do with the funds re-
celved from the senior play. The con-
sensus of opinion was that the seniors
ought to treat themselves to a real
time for once in their high school ca-
reers and perhaps establish prece-
dent for other following classes. II
was voted to have the president, Guy
Cahoon. appoint a committee TO lool;
into the matter of having n formal
banquet, to close with dancing, Mt one
of the local hotels or possibly the
Elks' club. .....
Kenneth Macbeth. Ralph Hammett
and the president were appointed on
the committee and today secured bids

After the class exercises this after
noon the class will meet In business
meeting to listen to the report OF this
committee. Some very elaborate speci-
ications were inserted in the bids FOL

terialiZes IL will beyond O. doubt. ex-
