Every year, the hands-down much anticipated event at this private school is the Junior Senior Banquet, or better known as JSB. JSB began in the 1940’s here at Canyonville Christian Academy. Back then it was called Canyonville Bible Academy. Yet the Junior Senior Banquet was and continues to be a dressy evening out full of activities for the upper class-men (Juniors and Seniors). The tradition is that the Junior class takes the Senior class out for a fun-filled evening. Activities on a JSB night have ranged from dinner out at a nice restaurant several hours ride from Canyonville, a movie, or roller-skating, sometimes ice-skating in the middle of the night, put-put golf fun, family fun center, sometimes bowling. There have been scavenger hunts held in other cities, limousine rides, early breakfasts out after a night of fun and more. Preparing The girls look at dresses for weeks ahead of the Junior Senior Banquet, some have looked for months! Then they hold their breath waiting to see if they will get their dress approved or not. Once approved, then the serious planning begins – how to do their hair, what shoes to wear, makeup, evening wear.. will it be cooler, or raining.. what other clothes to bring and on and on it goes. The younger classmates, such as the freshman and sophomore classes dream of their turn to plan, prepare, hear their name announced, to walk out of the front doors of Hinn Hall, to be greeted and escorted out by a special someone. Oh, the excitement, the planning, and finally the big day arrives! Excitement The day arrives when young ladies are beautifully dressed up, excited and nervous for when their name is announced, and they walk out to the words of “requested the presence of” by a Junior or Senior gentleman...

Canyonville Christian Academy seniors were honored by the junior class at the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet. The traditional event, which began in the 1940’s, included an evening of activities. The anticipated event is highlighted by Junior and Senior young ladies being “requested the presence of” by a Junior or Senior gentleman who walks up the stairs to escort them out of Hinn Hall. Beautifully attired in gorgeous dresses of vibrant colors, sporting beautiful hair styles after hours of preparation, these young ladies rocked the house! The young gentlemen also spent time getting ready for their “date” wearing stylish suits, shiny shoes and colorful buttoniers, ready for an evening of relaxation and fun. Here’s a few snapshots of this year’s event (pictures courtesy of Amanda Gibson): Do you remember your JSB? What was your favorite activity?
