Everyone from the babies to the grandmothers are cordially invited to attend this unique function, where there will be fun for everybody. Each class has been tested during the last week on its originality, and all four classes have scored high. The Seniors affirm that their attractions cannot be outclassed, but the Juniors declare that since their adviser is the most original member of the faculty, the Seniors are mistaken. Seventy-on- e Freshmen have had such a stock of ideas that there isnt room for them inside the schoolhouse, so they are giving side shows outside. The Sophomores have been rather quiet, but after an hours meeting behind closed doors on Wednesday, these scholars have really appeared queer, and no one can get them to say a word about their plans. The carnival will be full of surprises. It is rumored that there will be a minstrel, a vaudeville show, a fun house, bathing beauties, the vtrong man, the wild man, shooting Magic gardens, gallery, etc., etc. fish ponds, fun houses, tea gardens, clowns, etc., will also be some of the attractions. Besides this carnival the king and queen of the North Sevier will be crowned at the dance at 10:30 p. m. at the Social hall. Classes are competing in this contest for king and The Seniors have been on queen. lead this week, with the Freshmen as close seconds. It is rumored that both the Sophomores and Juniors will bring in some surprises on November 25, when the contest closes. The candidates, the most popular ind handsome young people in the various classes are: Seniors: Amelia Hugentobler and Stanley Peterson; Tuniors: Laurine Jensen and Nyles Christensen; Sophomores: Thelma nderson and Ned Hugentobler; Freshmen: Varna Johnson and Claude Brown. 1H high-clas- Under New Management.
