118654 NSNEAK DAY! Wheii the senior class prcsi' dent proclaims the arrival of Sneak Day, all stu- dents stream from the classrooms and head for the parking lot. One by one the cars turn their noses toward their destinations-Mt. Echo Park. A day of wholesome games, such as baseball, volleyball, and football, lies in store for all ambitious enough enough to join in the activities. Those not athf letically inclined are usually content to sit and root for the others. Two delicious meals highlight the day, and a period of solemn devotions brings it to a fitting close. We, as students, are preparing for many types of Christian service, but no matter which field we choose, a wellfbalanced personality is necessary for working with people effectively. Sneak Day con- tributes to the lighter side of our personalities. Since it falls at the beginning of the year, it sue' ceeds in hastening friendships between newer and older students alike, thus creating a closer bond of unity among the student body. It also provides for a deeper understanding and love between the stu' dents and the professors. Though this day consists mostly of fun and laughter, the roots of friendship bring the love of God closer to all. l. 'Tll watch this timef, I Z. One ball, two strikes, three -gg smiles.
