One of the Student Council's major projects is hosting the Academic Banquet. The banquet was for about 275 people.
I looked for bids and hired a caterer. This year the menu was chicken fried steak, buttered potatoes, salad and bannana pudding.
We decorated the invitations and mailed them out. We Shanghaied the Home Economics teacher into decorating the main tables with linens and loaning her silver punch bowl. The kids covered all the other tables with blue, white, and silver table cover. We used our glass gloves and tea lights for atmosphere.
After looking and scrounging around, we came up with deocrations for the banquet. This year we laid out books with academic materials such as flasks, beakers, microscopes. All the members were assigned tasks and were lectured to death on dressing appropriately. After the banquet, the clean up takes forever but is finished.
The pics below show my STUCO in their everyday dress, and the night of the banquet when they are all gussied up.
Country life flows quietly, happily, and simply. The mourning dove coos in the morning, and squirrels scamper up and down pecan trees in the backyard. Ferns, a chimenea, and wooden rocking chairs make the patio a comfortable sitting place. My husband and I are educators and live a content life filled with family and friends. ~Glenda Beall~
