The night of March 3, the Junior High Auditorium, was filled with anxious seniors awaiting the time of departure for the long awaited trip to Big Bear. Everyone had a very enjoyable evening. Any re- semblance between this dance and a sock dance could have been due to the fact that it is rather difficult to dance with heavy field boots on. Then at last the time came to load the buses and start on our trip. Well, over already! What a week end! After the dance Thursday night 53 seniors and 6 sponsors loaded two buses with, suitcases and what have 'ya, and started on our way about 12:30 for a lost week-end, at Big Bear. Five hours later we arrived at San Bernadino, where we ate breakfast. Then, the excitement started, as we were almost there. We arrived at Big Bear about 9:30 Friday morning and without any trouble reached our destination, Inspiration Lodge, located three miles west of town on Big Bear Lake. The rooms were selected and then lunch was served. Later that afternoon Mr. Vertress drove us to Big Bear on bus No. 2 where everyone en- ioyed shopping for souvenirs. That night the lodge furnished our entertainment of popular music for dancing, pool, poker, dice or just plain reading in front of the huge fireplace. There wasn't much sleep that night, although most of us were tired because of loss of sleep. Breakfast was served at eight the next morning. Dressed in warm clothes, we drove to town where we rented toboggans, sleds and skis. After loading them we left for Miil Creek, about two miles from Big Bear. Everyone enioyed playing in the snow, although many bruises, and scratches from falls and snow ball fights were noticed. We returned to the lodge in time for lunch at l:O0. After lunch the bus took those who wanted to return to Mill Creek back for more . . . shall we say . . . exercise . Saturday night, we attended the show, bowling alley, and the big dance at the Wigwam. We re- turned to the lodge at 12:30 where we danced and furnished entertainment for ourselves. Those that stayed awake would have stayed up all night if Ed and Sport hadn't . . . suggested . . . that we go to sleep. Sunday morning brought the end of the excite- ment as we loaded the busses to return home. We reached Blythe at 6:00, tired and very glad to be home, where we could rest up. As we came through Blythe we really let the townspeople know we were back, with our loud chorus' of Hail to the Sons and other songs. We seniors take this opportunity to thank Sport, Ed, Miss Carson, Mrs. Darland, Mr. Mitchner, Mr. Jones and Mr. Miller for making our trip pos- sible and very enioyable.
