SENIOR SNEAK DAY On Friday, April 22, the Senior lass skipped High School (much to the teachers delight) for a peaceful day, We started from Mr. Parker's residence at 8:00 O'clock in the morning--—Bingham Springs being our destination. Our trip to Pendleton was very peaceful—there being just a few yaps and yawns now and then. Pendleton stood us long enough to give us a chance to look around for awhile. Y hen we were on the other side of Mission on a nice steep hill guess what wc got t A flat tire t Out jumped all the boys to change it (the girls spent the time picking flowers). Yes, we had no patching cement, tire irons, or pump. The little place of Gibbon came to our rescue. We borrowed the necessary tire fixing equipment and went merrily on our way Of course the first thing we did when we reached Bingham was eat I After which we all went fishing—some hunting bugs and the others trying to persuade the little fishies to bit . After two hours of trying to persuade bugs to come out and fish to bite we gave up and went swimming. The little water-battles and innertube incidents were very amusing. We snapped many flcute pictures at the pool. Swimming was getting tiresome so we climber hills and played baseball. By this time our appatites were very good so the food was drug our again. After eating we went back to Pendleton where we enjoyed a double feature Checkers and Squadron of Honor at the Alta Theater. A very tired and sleepy Senior Class were we when WW cam© home around——that time H rX
