AT THE CARNIVAL

The Entertainment Committee tried a new stunt for the first «ocial evant of the year on October 7 and came up with a carnival.
The Central High School gymnasium underwent an extensive overhauling by Carole Hinson's crew and took on the look of an old
time carnival. Booths were arranged to take care of several concessions including a shooting gallery (darts were used in the interest
of safety and the public peace), a gypsy fortune teller, a penny pitching game, an artist, and a booth where kisses were dealt out
(don't get excited, they were molasses filled with peanut butter.)
A stage show was arranged featuring Jaques Macy, young son of Dr. & Mrs. Pierre Macy and a blackface act by Crayton Rowe and
Fred Young. Jaques performed numerous feats of magic and turned in a performance like a seasoned trouper. Crayton and Fred
put on a song and dance number that was good for plenty of laughs. Herman Lawing MC'd the show and conducted the bingo game.
We had our photographer drop around and are printing some of the fruits of his labors. The first picture in the top row is of Miss
Cone and Deanne Richardson, one of CC's graduates last year who was a visitor for the evening, discussing the proceedings near
the punch bowl. We would say that Mcirtin J. Sherrill was looking on, but Martin can't see—he's got his eyes closed. In the second
picture, fortune teller Jo Mahalic predicts what seems to be a very happy future for Mrs. Pierre Macy: Dr. Macy is an interested
spectator of the card-reading. Our ex-photographer forgot to find out what clown Bill Kennedy and balloon salesman Harold Par
ker, shown in the third picture were discussing.
In the second row, the first picture shows some of the crowd registering for the bingo game. Funny how Sherrill gets in all these
pictures. The middle picture shows Jacques Macy performing some of his slight of hand tricks. In the third picture, Warren Wal
ker, Jack Nisbet, and their dates are shown taking in the sights.
You won't believe it, but the first picture in the bottom row is Crayton Rowe doing a buck and wing. In the second picture,
lightning artist Andy Turner, a visitor from Carolina, does a sketch of Carole Hinson. The last picture shows master of ceremonies
Herman Lawing reading out the names in the bingo contest. We don't know who that is looking over Herman's arm unless it's Kil-
roy. Looks a good bit like Hugh Adams, doesn't he?

A TREE
Of all the things that I could be
I had to be a darned old tree—
A tree that stands out in the
street
With little doggies at my feet;
Nothing else to be, alas.
But a comfort station in the grass.
I lift my lazy arms to pray
Get away, little doggie, get away!
A nest of robbins I must wear.
And what they do gets in my
hair.
Of all the things that I could be
I had to be a X X tree.

Gruff customer; “Where’s the

Waitress: “Down the aisle and

“When we were first married,”
said the sailor’s wife, “you used
to say I had a shape like a
beautiful ship.”
“Yeah,” said her husband, “but
your cargo has shifted.”
A prominent judge sat in a
box in the opera house awaiting
the curtain and watching the
fair ladies in lowcut gowns being
ushered to their seats. After look-
around the house with opera
glasses, one of the ladies in the
party said, “Honestly, judge, did
you ever see anything like it in
your life?”
“Never,” gravely replied the
judge, “never, since I was wean
ed.”
Rosie’s are red,
Violet’s are blue,
Lillie’s are pink;
I saw them on the wash line.
