ALUMNI BANQUET
"A literary evening is something
beautiful, educational and long lasting." Quoting these words from the
president's -welcoming address, a hap-
pv, successful year was brought to a
close by the annual banquet and
dance of the Alumni Association.
In the home-like atmosphere of our
school auditorium, decorated with
Alumni colors of royal blue and white,
a group of approximately 300 schoolmates and friends gathered to welcome the class of '36 and renew old
acquaintances Friday evening. Accompanied by Miss Vesta Mills the
processional welcomed the guests to
dining tables attractively decorated
with white peonies and blue delphinium. Favors representing graduates
proudly holding "their coveted diplomas marked the places. A delicious five course banquet was efficiently served by the Good-Will class
of the Federated church, who deserve
many thanks.
