activities and showed much skill and
originality on the part of the juniors
in getting the arrangements for the
banquet prepared as cleverly as they
did.
The decorations of the hall were
really a triumph of artistic taste and

of time to prepare by the young peo

The arrangements for the banquet
were in charge of a committee from

efficiency evident in the execution of
the entire program reflects great
credit upon both the committee and
its sponsor. The unique and original
ideas expressed in the decorations

the occasion and will be credited
largely to Miss Keith who worked
