Candid Camera Snaps Senior Class as they E•njoy Themselves and Each Other at the Senior Banquet. - Photo by Lawson.
The coveted day finally arrived. At 3:05 P. M. Thu rsday, May 20th, a wild cry issuing forth from the mouth of some 28 seniors heralded the ar- rival of the day of freedom, the day of the senior banquet.
Among the envious stares of the lower classmen the exalted group took off in various groups for nine hours of heavenly freedom.
The afternoon was spent by many in preparing for the evening by vari- ous and sundry purchases and prompt- ly at 6:30 the Columns was graced by the spirited bunch. There a glorious meal was served by that famous waiter of waiters, Marcellus. It was
generally agreed that Marcellus could tell the best story as was proved by the applause that greeted one of his wild tales.

The only disastrous occurrence was the breaking of a chair by Ape Hunt who was attempting to show little Milt how strong Glouster men really are.

The school as a whole, and more especially the varsity baseball team, would like to express to Mr. Lee their sincere appreciation and thanks.
Without his long hours of hard work, a state championship team would have never been possible.
So to the man who was sometimes the chief grounds keeper and ball chaser but always the coach, we would like to say THANKS.
