THE 1928 FALL FESTIVAL
Bonnie Deich

The Fall Festival is one of the most
interesting events in the school year.
1t took place last Friday and Satur-
day evenings. The high school gym
| nasium was beautifully decorated in
/ the most festive manner.
The ice cream and candy booth was
/ one of the prettiest booths. 1t was
/, decorated with pale yellow crepe pa
per and violets. A turkey was auc-
toned off at booth which was at
! +-ac+ively decorated in orange and
black.
One Of the most unique features of
the festival was the baby show. The
babies were Laurence Williams, How
ard White, Bennie Sidel and Hubert
Coats. The babies were very m s.
chievous and persistently attempting
to "swipe" pop from the neighboring
booth, much to our dismay. In tn e
freak show many interesting things
were exhibited such as the smallest
, horse in the world, Andy Gump, the
chinless wonder. the biggest monkey
in the world, the dog that eats moth
ing but sawdust, the Siamese twins
and some midgets elaine Rozell and
Max Galusha.)
The country store (owned by "Si"
Perkins) displayed articles from in
ner tubes to babies stockings and cab
bages. Cider was sold for refresh
ments. The stockowners of the coun-
try store were as follows: Mr.. Bruce
Campbell, Johnson & Walrath, Jules
burg Motor Co.. Chas. Petersen, Mr..
and Mrs. W. w. Vaught, Cleveland
& Law. Julesburg Pharmacy, Well
worth Dept. Store, w. ]. Mccoy, G.
H. Austin. Labarees,' Mrs. John Nc
Cart, G. A. Reed, R. s. Dye, A. Galu-
sha & Son, Pound & Law, Julesburg
Milling Co., C. B. McCampbell, Wal
rath & Sherwood, Pool Hall, Jules
burg Lumber Co.
Quite a little interest was manifest
ed in the Popularity Contest. Miss
Florence Williams, the Freshman can
didate was the winner in this contest.
8. C. H. s. wishes to thank all who
helped make our festival a success.
The Japanese tea room was especially
attractive. It consisted of lattice
work of pink and green. Tea and
cake were served. The Western I'm
ion Station was a success. Among
the other booths the fish pond, pop
corn stand. the nigger baby booth and
fortune telling booth.
Buster Keaton in the "Pale Face"
was the movie given in the auditori-
UNI. A Koogle comedy "The Halo
we'en Adventure was played by the
students. The Snappy Six Chorus
danced between acts. The students
worked enthusiastically and the re-
suits were better than we had con-
templated. We took in $454.71, of
which $4,000 was clear.
We are all tired from the effects
of the carnival. but we expect to be
rested and ready to begin our school
work with all the more zest after
Thanksgiving.
