JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET
The Junior-Senior Banquet
I which was held Friday night,
I March 11 in the Fire Station, was
I a great success, and everyone had
a good time. >
The tables were decorated with
beautiful flowers, and the ladies
I of the Eastern Star are to be con-
gratulated for the food, and for
I the wonderful way in which they
I served it.
The Master of Ceremonies for
I the event was Mr. Don L. Hough.
Mrs. Lewis was the song leader,
and the first song that was sung
by the group of approximately
115 people, was “Memories.”
First in a line of speakers was
Jerry Sagstatter, who, speaking
for the Junior class, welcomed
the Seniors. Florence Burlin spoke
for the Seniors in response to the
I Juniors’ welcome and thanked the
Junior class for their help during
the year. Nan Daniel, class his-
I torian, arose and gave the history
I of the class of ’49 from the first
I grade to the present. John Van-
I derburg played a very delightful
number on the piano.
Mr. Hough, who had been tell-
ing very humorous jokes between
each speaker’s talk, got serious
I for a moment and introduced
Superintendent L. D. Self, who
gave a short but helpful talk per-
taining to what a person with
ambition can accomplish after
graduation in the many different
fields that are offered.
Then a beautiful song, “Galway
Bay” was sung by Barbara Suitt,
Ruth Sheffield, Patsy Patterson
and Elizabeth Stringer. Willa
Mae Lockwood read the Class Will
in which each junior received
something from the thoughtful
Seniors. Coralene Williams then
added a humorous touch to the
program with her prophecies of
the future life of each Senior.
After “Auld Lang Syne” had
been sung by the group, and Jack
Jordan had yelled, “Happy New
Year,” everybody went to the
upper part of the building for a
dance.
All in all it was a nice banquet
with its serious side and its hu-
morous side, mostly the latter, and
was enjoyed by everyone.

DEAR DIARY
The seniors marked another
milepost on their road to grad-
uation Friday night with the Ju-
niors serving as hosts at the Jr.-
Sr. Banquet. The banquet was
spite of all obstacles, he finally
mad it to town where he im-
mediately went to a garage to
find out what the matter was.
After a careful examination of
the car, the mechanic told him,
‘Sir, your motor’s missing.” As-
tounded at the man’s words Jack
replied, (and not quite so calmly)
“Well, it was sure there when I
left home.”
N
part and everything went off
smoothly.
Joe Bell and Bobbie Harris
have started a fund. Well you
might call it a charitable fund.
They’re really in hopes that they

PATSY’S WEEKLY LETTER
Hello Helen,
Last week I told you I’d write
this week about the banquet. Ho-
hum, I still haven’t caught up
on my sleep. The banquet was
quite a success, and the Civics
students are still giggling over
Mr. Hough’s jokes. (Joe Bell was
reading over my shoulder and
noticed I said that I haven’t
caught up on my sleep. Joe said,
“Shucks, this is the first week
I’ve been able to go to Sunday
School and read the Training
Union report in the back of the
church!”)
Say, Helen, of you saw a bunch
of “hicks from the sticks” or
some “local yokels walking in
the Jefferson yesterday, it was
none other than Jay Collier, Pat
Perry, 'Betty. Worley, Richard
Farr, and Billie McGee. It seems
they dressed to go bowling; but
Jay changed their minds, so they
took in a movie instead.
Saturday night a gang went
over to Celia’s and played ping-
pong, ate fudge, and drank cokes,
danced and banged on the piano.
Time is slipping up on me,
Helen, and I'd better rush it be-
fore 8:30. Mrs. Prewitt thinks
Im copying someone’s English,
but I'm not. See you next week,

WHO’S WHO
The choice for “Who‘s Who”
this week is the very talented
artist, Graham Ward. Graham
came here his sophomore year.
The student body found out a-
bout his ability to draw and
elected him Art ■ Editor of the
Satsuma. His work on the draw-
ings for the annual was so. good
that he was appointed last year
and this year to continue as Art
Editor. Graham has drawn place
cards for several banquets and
has done other art work on sev-
eral occasions.
He is rather quiet but well-
liked by all the students and
teachers, and he was elected the
Senior Class Favorite this year.

JUST JACK
One cold winter day, when he
was still but a lad, Jack Jordan
set out from his old home town,
Sleepy Hollow, to go to the big
city he had always heard about,
and dreamed of going to, Silsbee.
He left quite early and in a de-
lightful mood, because he had
succeeded in obtaining his (?)
car. About half way on his jour-
ney, the car started sputtering
and just plain misbehaveing! He
was at a loss of what to do, be-
cause on the wide rolling plains
between his home town and Sils-
bee, there were no garages, not
even a service station. Well, in
