Junior Senior Banquet at Rose
Croix Inn - Grange Hall
Scene Fine Exhibition
Graduation

On Monday evening, June LIST, the
annual Junior Senior banquet of
Winslow High school was held at the
Rose Croix Inn at Vassalboro. The
seniors, Juniors and teachers were
conveyed from Winslow to Vassal-
boro by automobiles, and there they
found a delightful welcome awaiting
them from Miss Charlotte Wrigley
the capable proprietoress Of the Inn.
The dining room was most attractive
ly decorated and the table was a
masterpiece of art. In the center was
"a large bouquet Of tulips and green
spray, while the place cards were tiny
flowers painted on small cards. The
splendid menu consisted Of fruit cup,
chicken soup, olives, pickles, roast
chicken with giblet sauce. cream
cheese, mashed potato. fruit salad,
icecr cam, cake and coffee. Thirty
seven happy and joyous young peo-
pie and their esteemed teachers sat
down to this delightful banquet
which was beautifully served in Miss
Wrigley's usual clever and fine man
ner, and after the fine delectables
had bene given full justice, Lawrence
Cole, a member of the Junior class,
acting as POSTMASTER, called on the
different members of the class for
speeches. They very ably responded,
and the merriment was at its height
all the evening. Miss Wrigley very
kindly offered the use of her spacious
dining room for the young people to
dance, and also the use of her piano
and victrola, the latter being very
eagerly accepted. Some Of the young
people danced, some sang, played
games, and all went outside to admire
the location and grounds surrounding
Rose Croix Inn.
The evening was one round Of Joy
from the beginning to the end. The
party returned to Winslow at a late
hour, declaring that no class was
ever more royalty entertained than
the class of 1925 One especially
pleasing feature of the evening was
that Superintendent of Schools Carl
Lord who has been i'll for some time
past, was able to be present.
