Enjoying the af fair with the juniors and sen iors were the faculty and their guests, the trustees and their wives, and the school bus driv ers and their wives. The gymnasium was trans formed into a camp at the foot of a mountain. On the camp site were the covered wagon, the camp-fire, trees, and even the glitter of gold dust. To get to the camp site the guests went through a “parlor,” typical of 1849. In evidence here were the spinning wheel, the glow from a kerosene lamp and the family Bible. Two girls dressed as 49ers were serving and piecing a quilt. In the camp setting the tables were placed. The place cards, the memory books, and other table appointments further ac centuated the ’49 theme. A delightful four course dinner was served.
