May 5, 1932 The annual Junior-Senior banquet was held in the high school gymnasium Friday evening, April 29. The banquet room was made into a Dutch garden, surrounded by a white-covered fence. The overhead was blue for sky and stars. The guests were seated, in the candle-lit garden with 15 small tables decorated with tulips and roses. Each Senior received a rose. The eight waiters and waitresses were dressed in white with white Dutch caps. They were: Lyle Jay, Pauline Rhoads, Milo Dodd, Isabelle Neale, Charles George, Genevieve Weld, Clarence Kassel, Muriel DeBusk. The banquet was a great success with the help of the Junior mothers who prepared the following menu: Fruit Cocktail, Baked Ham, Scalloped Potatoes, Creamed Peas and Carrots, Radish Roses, Combination Salad, Buttered Rolls, Strawberry Sundae, Angel food Cake, Coffee, and Nuts.

Class Prophecy: What a wonderful thing it is look into the future and see our classmates of the good old school days, as they are journeying down the various paths of life. We will now imagine that 20 years has passed since that eventful day, May 20, 1932, when the Seniors were assembled for the last time.
