Annual Banquet
By NELL GRANTHAM
With a lovely banquet following
the theme, “April Showers,” the
Freshman class delightfully enter
tained the Sophomore class on Fri
day evening,. April 14, 1950,
eight o’clock.
Invited into the beautifully dec
rated dining hall of the O. Max
Gardner Memorial, the guests, in
extreme skirts and “ties,” entered
through a trellised gateway and
were directed to the places of their
choice. The tables were very color
fully decorated. Each plate v
marked with a dainty umbrella o:
walking cane and programs in the
color scheme of pastels. Centering
each table were bouquets and pan-

After the invocation given by Rev.
J. L. Jenkins, the guests enjoyed a
very delicious three-course dinner
served by Miss Janie Odom, die
tician, assisted by the girls of the
local high school.
The highlight of the program,
guest speaker Gus Travis, was in
troduced by James Stamey. Mr.
Travis upheld his reputation as a"
entertainer by using familiar cair
pus names in his yarns, and he sue
ceeded in captivating our attention
and holding it throughout the e'
