19 31 SENIOR FRESHMAN DAY April Fool's Day, 1931 A. D. QA Depressionj was very appropriately set aside for Senior Freshman Day. The sixth period was turned over entirely to show the Freshies how, insignificant they really are, and how superior and necessary the Seniors are. Costuming was not compulsory, but much originality was shown in the costumes worn. Howard Hall was thrown wide open with the warning from Miss Howard that if any excess waste was found on the floor, it would be up to the Seniors to clean it up. Arthur Rogers in his usual inimitable way provided one of the best stunts produced. He was dressed in a long. flowing night gown, and rode in a baby carriage which was pushed by Rex Congleton and Louis Hough with the assistance of many others. During the confusion someone acciden- tally upset the go-cart, and Art fell out, spilling his milk on the floor. Miss Howard, immediately, as is her way, made the baby, night gown and all, get a mop, and mop the floor. In the contest held for the different types of costumes, the winner for the ugliest one was Richard Agnew. Dick said he wasn't even half trying to be ugly because he didn't want to frighten the rhinies . Zuanette Campbell was chosen as the best dressed for the occasion, while Karl Irish Fulnecky won the prize for the cutest dressed. He was attired in a charming play suit which, it is said, he wears after school and on Saturdays. Perry Merchant caught the fancy' of several of the Freshman boys, when he entered dressed l24l

19 in a red dress and rolled socks. llis lower extremities were protected by several pairs of flaming bloomers. After a short intermission, during which it was necessary to catch the bride and groom, a mock-wedding was held. l,ouis Hough, the tallest Senior, and Jane Sertain, the shortest Freshman, were united i11 holy wedlock by Brother Charley lj. French. There was such a difference in the stature of thc participants that it was necessary for the bride to be held up to receive the binding' kiss. It was necessary during this time to take the baby, Arthur Rogers, from the Gym. so that he could be pacified, This was the first time the under classmen had seen such a performance of gum chewing, candy eating, marble playing, sham battling, and other riotous fun, displayed in a school building. They were equally surprised to find the serious. pious, studious Seniors capable of such outlandish doings. Needless to say, they were a willing audience and laughed until their sides ached. The fun was cut short by the seventh period bell. when it was necessary to return to classes. The Seniors remained and with the aid of the janitor's brushes, hrooms, dustpans and supervision. cleaned up the mess they had made. They were then herded onto the bleachers where a group picture was taken by Mr. Hardy. This was the first Senior-lireshman llay since the spring of l927, when it was suspended by school authorities. lt was through the efforts of the social committee of the Student Council that permission was obtained for this one. NVilliam Brittain acted as master of ceremonies. WN GQ l25l c it WH? 5' X.
