THE BANQUET, 1937
The guest of honor at last year's banquet was Miss Hurrey, who gave us a delightfully amusing speceh, putting us in just the right frame of mind at the start. Thelma Duemler, the toastmistress, acted in her capacity with a great deal of non­ chalance and with that certain "Duemler" touch we always associate with her. The cup given by Mrs. Wigton for sportsmanship was awarded to Betty Brown and could not have been given to anyone more deserving it. The letters were given out, and finally we learned which team had won the banner. There was wild applause when it turned out to be the Whites, the members of both teams joining in with equal heartiness. After this the seniors gave their skit, a take-off on a day in school, showing typical (and very funny) scenes of various classes. Soon the Annual was given out, and everybody was very busy getting signatures. Dancing to the sweet strains of the Country Club radio ended the evening, and we all went home with pleasant memories of another banquet.
B. G., ’38.
The big social event of the winter season was the Lawrenceville concert and dance on January twenty-second, arranged by Miss Hartridge. During the concert, which was led by Mr. Woods, Andrew Irnbrie played several piano selections. The soloists were Benjamin Whitehill, Burtis Horner, and Long Ellis. This year the Lawrenceville singers were answered with two songs by the Hartridge Glee Club directed by Mrs. Garden. During the intermission of the singing the audience was entertained by a very clever “Swing Trio,” deservedly spoken of as “Lawrenceville’s Pride.”
After the concert, the floor was cleared, and the junior and senior girls re­ mained for the dance. Peggy Wight, Barbara Mason, and Ethel Somerville, the program committee, had arranged for the partners. Miss Hartridge and Miss Mapels- den were both present, and Miss Theodora Smith and Miss Frances Thurston were chaperons. The dancing was an immense success, and the "Big Apple” figured as a high point of the evening. At twelve o’clock refreshments were served, but the orchestra played for another hour—to everyone’s delight.
