order to defray the expenses of
their section in the high school an-
nual, The Trail, was a glorious suc-

sixty-one dollars, according to Miss
Jessie Frost, class president.

garden were the two best money
making attractions, she stated.

I popularity contest by a majority of
|about three hundred votes over
Gladys Oakest her only rival after
! the withdrawals of Jessie Frost, jun-
ior, and Zura Steer, freshman.
Real Oriental Dancer.
The Japanese tea garden was one
of the most popular of the booths,
for in it was featured the wonderful
harem beauty, Rubianca who is ori-
ental dancer or rare physical charm
obtained especially for the entertain-
ment.
The tea and oriental sweets were
served by girls dressed in kimonas
of the Far Fast, who, when their
tasks were done, settled down onto
the Japanese furnishings and orient-
al rugs among the palms to dream
away the moments until the dancer's
appearance under the spotlight.
Candies, popcorn and other dain-
ties were sold through the halls and
mighgt be bought as one moved from
the baby show to The Delphian
Oracle, or sauntered about in uncer-
tainty as to the properiety and
chances of slipping unobserved into
the show for men only.
Many Side Shows.
"Did you wish your fortune told?"
Down the great white way to the
Gipsy's booth was the place. The
Animal and Auto show, the Wild
Man, the Swimming Miches, and
the Doll Rack, all furnished their
varied forms of pleasure to the seker
for spice in life, according to Miss
Frost. /
The committee on arrangements
to whom the junior class is indebted
for most of the work connected with
planning this success was Lydia
ilaig, Ida Smith, Earl Langford,
