SENIOR CLASS FUNCTIONS Senior Ditch Day Loads of enthusiasm and pep fwho could it be but the Seniors?j left about 5:30 A.M. Monday morning, March 10, for Forest Home. VVe felt that the teachers needed a rest and we would make the rest of the school feel our importance by our absences for as they say, UAbsence makes the hearts grow fonder. After a great deal of excitement caused by stopping for breakfast, water boiling in radiators, and cars just absolutely refusing to work fyou might ask Mr. Hedstrom about the latterj we arrived safe and sound. Hiking was the chief diversion, although many others were enjoyed. Groups hiked together and pictures tell the tale of their wanderings. Most everyone assembled at camp about twelve bells to take on a little food Qspecial stress to be laid on littlej after which snow lights were enjoyed. A great many events of interest happened during the day. Some people got their faces washed, some boys were seen to carry pipes, some girls were the unfortunate victims of mistletoe gatherers, one teacher had to stop playing the xylo- phone and a Ford was towed part of the way by a Cadillac. Vifhen it was time to leave everybody was telling the world what a suc- cess the day had been. The only thing that we regret is the fact that our absence caused untold weeping and heartaches to our beloved under-classmen. l30l
