Juniors Bid Seniors
Au Revoir at School
Parties Next Friday

All plans are virtually completed for
! the biggest and best junior ball and
banquet in the history Of the custom
of such appropriate farewell entertain
ment for high school seniors. The
Meadow Lark Country club and the
dining room of the Hotel Rainbow will
be arrayed in gala celors for the two
events and a special room at the coun-
try club will be ~rejuvenated for the
party which will be staged for those
who do not dance. Friday night. June
8, il the date set for the affairs.
Miss Johanna Velikanje of the high
school faculty is advisor and sponsor
of the junior class and it is due to her
that the third year organization is pro-
committees at work on the many de-
tails Of the arrangements and prepare
ton of the three events have been bury
since early in the semester and the
present plans as formulated by them
indicate more ~extravagant entertain
ment than has ever before been at
tempted.
All this il due, to a great extent, to
the extreme size of the 1922 gradual
ing class which is more than so over
last years total. Then. too. the jun
Tors of this year number close to 100
more than those of 1921. ,
AS a result of the unexpected num-
bers of juniors and seniors, it has been
necessary to limit the attendance as
much AS possible since there will not
be sufficient spnce for dancing at the
country club. Plans Indicate that 500
may be cared for but there are many
more who would be eligible to attend
under the same ruling as before.
Therefore. it has been necessary to
exclude the freshmen and s%ophomorcs
from attending as classes. All alumni
and their escorts, juniors and seniors
and their escorts and members of the
high school faculty. Under this ne
eessity no outsiders will be allowed to
attend, even If with escorts of the two
upper classes. All these restrictions
have been imposed because there are
over 200 juniors and more than $50 in
the fourth year sroup.
The problem of transportation was
undertaken early in the year and, as a
result. many juniors and seniors have
volunteered the use of their automo-
biles. If such a circumstance should
arise that there are not a sufficient
number of cars. motorboats will prob
ably be resorted to asa last means.
However, it is not thought that this
will have to be done.
The banquet will be served promptly
at 6 o'clock and the program will be
completed by $50 o'clock. This will
leave ope-half hour to go to the Mead
ow Lark Country club. There will be
dancing from q o'clock to - o'clock.
Pierce's original orchestra has been en-
gagged for the event.
Special tickets for the ball are being
issued to those alumni who have regis
tered for them. The regular invita- |
tons have arrived and may be secured
from Miss Velikanje.
The party is a repetition of one given
last year in conjunction with the prom
enade in the gymnasium of the high
school. Since this proved quite sue
mates all adversely of entertaining
those who do not dance. the same af-
fair will be given this year.
