The annual Junior-Senior ban
quet will be held Thursday,
February 27, according to plans
made recently at a combined
meeting of the two classes.
This plan is a departure from
the custom of past years which
have seen the seniors entertain
ing the juniors in the fall and the
juniors entertaining the seniors
in the spring. This year there
will be only one banquet with
each class sharing equally in re
sponsibility.
According to preliminary plans
made at the meeting, the banquet,
as usual, will be held in the col
lege dining hall. Music is ex
pected to be furnished by the col
lege orchestra.
A group of committees was ap
pointed by Wallace Kernodlo
president of the,senior class, and
W. L. Hobson, president of the
junior class, following decision to
proceed with the banquet.
Those on the program commit
tee are: seniors — Evelyn Holmes,
Mary Claytor, Dwight Gentry!
and Wallace Kernodie; juniors —
Edna Barrier and Marjorie Hun
ter.
Those on the design and pat
tern committee are: seniors —
Mary Walker, Christine Eaves.
Margaret Pennington and Shirley
Powell; juniors — Angie Hcnrv
and Pansy Miller.
