Phares. The occasion was a celebration of Mrs. Phares' 25 years service as grade school attendance officer.

The party was staged in the Washington school gym, where hundreds of gaily colored balloons formed the only decoration and served as the evening's most satisfactory fun material. First came the crowning of "Mary as the evening's queen of carnival. Teachers Kate Ives and Ruth RUdasill served as pages, with first graders Sharon Woizeski and Patty Herrington as train bearers. From her improvised throna silver haired Queen Mary surveyed the festivities, as party-minded pedagogues put aside class room dignity and were "kids again just for a night." Sail Paper Wads. Stunts included the staging of a mock trial, a barn dance, a day in the life of Dear Teacher, a debate on the subject, "Resolved, Women Talk More Than Men," and too close harmony by an impromptu quartet.

Top honors in noise making were won by Mischiefers Sarig and Pennington, for their balloon bursting activities. Proper atmosphere for the classroom scene was provided when paper wads sailed through the air, a persistent tattle-tale kept the boys in hot water, and the auburn pig tail of teacher's pet was dunked in the ink well.

Mr. Macon's closing remarks were, as he presented the honored guest with a wrist watch, "We'd so much rather be 79 years young than 40 years old." Miss Faye Glazebrook, principal of Lincoln grade school, served as general chairman in charge of arrangements, assisted by the following committee members: Decorations, Misses Grace Langellier, Bernice Conley and Lorraine Sylvester, Mrs. Lida Wainwright and Omar Spitzer; entertainment, Mrs. Mabel Mire, Misses Roberta Meeker, Leah Mayall, Mabel Marshall and Ruth Rudasill; and gift.
