DITCH DAY Sunrise Thursday morning, April 3, found a carefree, happy-go-lucky group of thirty-five on their way to Lake Mead. Within a few miles of the dam the bus broke down, but with the very able assistance of every boy on the bus, we were soon on our way again. Immediately upon arrival the boys hiked about a mile to the dock and rented boats. That was practically the last time they were seen until lunch time. Several kids donned bathing suits, but found Lake Mead a swell place for polar bears and decided to let them have it. Some went for walks and picked wild flowers, while others sat around on the beach or went boat riding. Then came LUNCH and did we eat! We built up our resistance and then the fun began. If anyone went hungry it was his own fault because there was plenty to eat. Sam admitted that that was the first time he had ever had as much as he could eat. And believe me, he didn't eat pieces of cake, he ate whole cakes. After lunch, things (mostly sand) really began to fly. ''Hannie'' put the net up and we played volley ball. At least they called it volley ball, but it was mostly a continual argument as Hannie” was on one side making rules as he went along, and Boogie was on the other side struggling in vain to play under them. More boat rides, a few naps , and some other amusements made the afternoon pass very quickly, and it was soon time to eat again. Some of us were too full to eat very much, but others dug right in. We packed up what we hadn't eaten and put it in the bus for further use. We decided to go to Boulder City to the show. We left the beach and arrived in Boulder City a little after 6:00. We wandered around until the theater opened and then we attended the show Buck Privates . We left for home immediately after the show. As soon as we were well on our way the food was passed around. The day was climaxed by a minor accident about forty miles from home that delayed us for a little over an hour. And would you believe it, as soon as we started on our way again they passed the grub box around again and it was nearly cleaned out this time. There were quite a few sore bones and muscles over the week-end, but there were no regrets because everyone had a grand time. LILLIAN BRATCHI 22

JUNIORS NORENE JONES President HAROLD GRAVES SHIRLEY PEEPLES MR. HOWARD CATE Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor The Juniors started out selling candy and pop at the football games, and they had several candy sales that were very successful. Their excellent luncheon, October 29, was very profitable. Besides their regular dances, they had a Barn Dance which was very different. The Junior assembly program was a Truth or Consequences quiz program. All the teachers and some of the students took part in it. The Juniors climaxed the year with a Prom for the Seniors. At the entrance to the gym was an arched bridge, and the waitresses served from little huts at the other end of the hall. The orchestra played from the base of a large old-fashioned candlestick holder with a large flaming candle. Each table was in a private booth. This lovely Prom was greatly enjoyed by the many who attended. 24
