A gaily colored spectacle, with
all the usual shows, bankers, for
tune tellers, and freaks, featured
the carnival event staged by the
high school pupils and the men,
bers of the faculty in the Junior
High School Saturday night.
A happy throng of people swarm
ed through the auditorium and the
various rooms to witness the eff
forts Of the pupils, and all enjoyed
a rare feature. 1t was a commend
able effort on the part Of the in
structors and the pupils, and one
which should be featured annual
ly.
AS patrons entered the auditor
ium they were greeted by the
voices Of the bankers, and for the
small sum of five cents they were
permitted to view shows heralded
as the greatest on earth. Candy
booths, hot dog stands, tea room
and a number of skill games made
up that part Of the show in imita-
ton of the row where the carnival
grifter plies his trade.
A splendid array OF freaks, as
great as Barnum's fakes, was 10
Gated in the gym, and contained
the famous fat lady, dancing girls,
two faced man, gum eater, a
giant and a midget, the tatooed
man and the largest baby on earth.
Here the bankers were extra good,
Another show, wax figures, splend-
idly portrayed by a number of
young ladies, was also well worth a
visit. The Hall Of Terrors was a
popular place and the shrieks
which emitted from the fair sex
from within, were proof of the fact
that it was good. A splendid athlet-
ic show consisting of school and
amateur talent was splendidly at
tended. Several boxing matches
were staged and the spectators
thought, in some events at least,
that the old grudge was playing its
part for their entertainment. A
visit to the third floor Of the build
ing proved highly entertaining. A
one-act play, coached by Miss Hen
kels and Miss Wilder, a farce COM
edy, which during every minute of
its presentation was filled with
laughs, brought the house down.
1t was filled with wholesome COM
edy, and to say the least, was a
grand success.
Phyllis Svenneby, in a field of
four contestants, was selected by
vote as the carnival queen, and
amid regal splendor, was crowned
and placed upon the throne. She
was loudly acclaimed by her many
loyal subjects. The other contest
ants in this event were: Lillian
Conkey, Betty Webber and Ros-
eanne Schoenhoff.
A stage show and style event
were featured before the browning
of the queen. Several splendid tap
dance events were given and all of
the latest gowns and frocks for the
well-dressed woman were display
ed in model fashion by pupils of
the high school. This was an inter-
esting feature for the ladies.
A country store, fish pond, and
skill games provided amusement
for the more adventurous, some of
whom were awarded with prizes
for their efforts. And for the friv-
