57: ,- ng 1. :D 9 fn., 33- , -Q., C: Senior 'Ditch Dag lt was the hour before the dawn. .-'Ns yet. no sign of light could be discerned over the eastern hills. and lixeter was still sleeping soundlv. But look! XVhat were those two dark shapes that stole silently to the high school lawn and crouched against the flagpole? lVas the school to be robbed? Gosh! let's hope not. Quickly a car came spinning' down Pine street and stopped with a squeak against the curb. Out slid a hunch of boyseno, wait. they weren't all boys, some were girls in knickers. More mystery! XVhat could it have been? Ah l, I know, it must have been Senior Ditch Day. So it was. for the Seniors were off on the truck before the roosters started crowing for daylight. VVhen the truck left the high school. it was loaded: when it reached Merryman, it was packed: and when it reached Lemon Cove, it was sardined and a few extra poor fish were riding on the cab. After enduring' cold feet and chilly ears and then riding along on the truck in the warm sun light for several hoursfhot stuff-the Seniors arrived at Giant Forest and proceeded to empty their lunch baskets and fill their bread baskets. Then they all got skis and toboggans and went up to the slides. Many thrilling spills were witnessed in the first few minutes but this didn't satisfy the Seniors. They wanted fun, so they built a mound of snow in the slide and set about to see who could land the hardest on the other side with the skis or toboggans. Sh! Don't tell any one, but this is why some of the Seniors re- cited while standing up the next day, At last, the joy-bubbling Seniors piled on the truck and started for home, where they arrived sometime after dark. Senior Dress Up Dag Can you picture a dignified Senior dressed up as a hobo? If you don't believe it, you should have been here on Senior Dress Up Day. lt was certainly a howling success this year. Even the Juniors. Sophomores, and Freshmen will have to admit it. Some of the Seniors galloped up on their dashing black steeds, others came in carriages. and still others preferred walking. It would be difficult to describe each Senior's dress in detail, or to even mention it: but cowboys, lramps, '49'ers, old-fashioned ladies, and hula hula girls were all well represented. This day ended too soon for everyone, but it left a little doubt in each person's mind as to whether or not beautiful ladies of long ago, who wore hoop-skirts and satins, were quite as undignified as some of the Seniors portrayed them. XN'ell. perhaps it fum' being done those days!
