JUNIOR senior banquet
AND PROM APRIL 79
AT SEWARD HIGH SCHOOL
“Aloha" was the way the ju
nior class of Seward High School
chose to say goodbye to the
seniors at the annual Junior
Senior E uiqu t that was hold
Saturday, April 28, in the Home
Economics room oi the high

The banquet was probably the

some time. The theme that was
carried out for the banquet was
an imaginary Hawaiian least.
Members of Hu- Jreshman and
sophomore classes served th 1
amner dressed in print skirts
and flow .red shu ts with leis
around their necks. Hawaiian
music was played throughout
me evening anct artificial flow
ers and grass adorned the room
itself, while on the table were
bouquets of leal flowers. A
palm tree was painted on a mir
ror and drawings of Hawaiian
lads arid maidens were on the
walls. The island atmosphere
was completed by the leis that
the guests were given to wear.
The dinner was prepared by
the mothers of the members of
me junior class. It consisted of
grapefruit cocktail, stuffed to
mato salad, turkey and all the
trimmings, followed by cake and
ice cream.
The senior class history, pro
phecy and will w re read and
caused many a laugh. Little Miss
Debbie Brown entertained the
crowd with a hula dance and
Brenda Johnson also danced a
hula for the guests.
Following the banquet, the
entire high school joined the
juniors and seniors at the prom
in the study hall. Th roi .a was
beautifully decorated in red and
white, the senior class colors,
and a huge rose, representing
the senior flower, was painted
for the background.
The faculty and membr rs oi
the school board and their bus
bands and wives attended the
banquet. The seniors will ’ong
remember the evening as a mo.
wonderful one, a most fitting
going-away party for any class.

I’d Like
to Know...
You may have heard that
a suit has been filed by
the Antitrust Division in
Washington to break up
Standard of California as
well as six other West
Coast oil companies.
Many people have writ
ten us protesting this
action. Many have asked
pertinent questions. We
believewe should answer
these questions for every
one. We do so this way.
If you have a question,
we urge you to write:

"How much competition is there among major oil companies?7’
Harry F. Wood, attCi cy A Olympia, Washington, writes: “What type of competition
docs actually exist among the major oil companies1 Price? Service: Research? If it’s
research, we should find one oil company's brand of ^ ^ ^ n
oil, for example, gives better engine protection7.
The answer to this f|iiestion is much the same for the oil industry as for most others. Com
petition is intense in all operations, in oil. operations group under four broad headings . ..

.. products are either not good enough or too
expensive, we can't keep customers.
Competition in research exists indeed.
A company must keep pace or lose out. Cur
rent pace-setter is our new motor oil. With
tests using atomic energy, our scientists
reveal it reduces engine wear as much as
one-half, compared with conventional oils.
And competition shows up clearly where
our products are sold. This is partly compe
tition in service. (“We take better care of
your car.”) But it’s competition in price,
too. To get and hold business, every seller
has to hold his prices down to meet others.
