Thurtene Carnival​​​​ swings onto campus

Thurtene Junior Honorary organizes this annual charity event, which has been a part of campus life for more than 100 years. The entirely student-run carnival features rides, game booths, fun foods and well-rehearsed plays and musical performances. Students work hard all year writing scripts, rehearsing and building “movie-set” structures know as facades. Carnival proceeds this year benefited the Guardian Angels Settlement Association.
