Caddo Z It,s rather hard to talce, Pat. Ginger will don her cap and gown tomorrow night and with 261 other graduates will receive her diploma. She Says that she has been worlc- ing toward this goal for four years, lout when it at last draws near, she regrets to leave her friends at school and all the good times she had there. Some of the lcids in our gang are going to junior college here: so I guess all my May 16 found all the seniors dressed in old clothes and laden with lunches ready for the senior ditch day. From my typing room upstairs l watched their busses leave, and I still envy the fun they must have had spend- ing a whole day in Kern River Parlcl Ginger said that she had a great time playing games and bicycling, hut that the food was the hest part of the day. I can imagine Iriends aren't forsalcing me. DDRENE K. AARON G.A.A. I,2: Tumbling Cluh Ip Drum Corps I it would he to her elephant appetite.
