Page 18 SENIOR EDITION Skip School, Pull Hair, Burn Books, Hitch=Hike Are Some of the Suppressed Desires of the Seniors blow their sirens; Gone Smedley would like to practice golf next to a greenhouse, while Mildred Greger.se n would drive down a street one hundred miles per hour —if she dared! Yes. that's the catch! These hitch-hikers! Raehoal Little wants to hitch-hike to Oklahoma. and Evelyn Holland doesn't say where, but it could possibly be to Galesburg. When (ieorge Kline and Roy Andrews go to college next year, they’ll take a trailer and “cook themselves.” (Really — is that what they mean?) Joe Serangeli wants to travel, too. but to New York so he can jump off the Empire State Building. Happy landing. Joe. Best of all comes l ouise Strickfaden with the desire to become invisible.
