Mr. Rickard visited the grave of Louis Beaudry in the marine cemetary on Saipan. Mr. Rickard was formerly boys’ adviser here. 7 All for Fun—Fun for All The “Fall Carnival” was a very gala affair on the Chemawa campus on the eve of November 16,1945. The decorations were carefully planned and exe cuted to add a luster to the booths. The doors opened at 7:00 p.m. and the first places visited were the pop and refreshment booths. Hot dogs, fruit rolls and coffee seemed the way to any one’s heart. The high spots were the bingo and fortune tell ing booths. They were most popular all evening. Many came out smiling, others were not quite so happy. The cake raffle was quite a thrill. Most everyone wished their number would be drawn because the cakes looked delicious. Everyone was as friendly as possible to the vistors helping them mix into our crowd very well. The financial returns gave us great pride because we know everyone had a grand time. We may consider ourselves fortunate having such a fine staff of employees with which to work, because it took everyone working together to make the carnival a success. "This ’n That” We wonder why our “senior class president” enjoys Saturday nights in Salem?... What train did you run into Tommy? Was it the N.P., S.P., or R.W.?... What is it that has Lillian H. up in the clouds lately?... Bobby, what happened to the side burns? Didn’t she like you asTurhan? ... Spud and Baby, do you often work at the barn after church? ... Fred M., couldn’t be the pretty lights that are so attractive in Salem, could it?... Who is this “Con nie” we hear so much about boys? . . . Wonder where R.D. picked up the name “Doodles”?... A certain 10-B girl has to send to New York for that "special soap”. . . What’s wrong, Herbie, can’t you make up your mind? Senior or sophomore? What’s in a name?-- Tuney, Calvin Picard . . . Woody, Bobby Eickmeyer . . . Keetso, Big John . . . Edgar, Oliver Henry, (oh,oh)... Van, Chester Ashman . . . Gin, Minnetta Simmons . . . Doodles, Delicate Dumore . . . Hayseed, Bernita Hayward . . .
