Q cniors in hebruary began counting days until graduation. Some faithfully circled numbers on 'sweat sheet calendars taped inside locker doors; others, through an uncanny sixth sense, knew to the minute how much time remained. Yet the end of May seemed vague, far off. so upperclassmen aimed first at 'staying with it' until May 9. Sneak Day. A bus conflict resulted in Kruita’s having to move the traditional 'day away’ to May 16, and the hours seemed endless again. Never lacking for resourceful- ness, seniors threw themselves into the intriguing task of planning parties. Lying on the spring lawn at lunch, they planned parties for the evening before Sneak Day. Walking down the halls between classes, they pooled ideas for parties the day after Sneak Day. And on Sneak Day. they made elaborate prepa- rations for parties following graduation. But waiting for the 3:0$ buses was often the best part of any day. although snowing substitute teachers was a kick. too. In spite of the fact that seniors wore an outward mask of lassitude, members of the Class of '68 gar- nered more scholarships and scholastic laurels than other class in the history of Wildcat academic essays.
