(3) The Senior-Nine program was designed to help the freshmen make friends with upperclassmen and thus feel more at home in the Upper School. A picnic at the Leavenworths' began the year’s program with food, frisbee, football, and volleyball. As the year progressed, the seniors and their nines attended football games, parties, hayrides, and Dudley Riggs. These activities have shown students that they can have fun together, in spite of their age difference. (1) Oh, O.K., Wood, what have you been up to?? (2) It's the battle of the sexes — or should we say classes. (3) Hey there! Hay where? Hay everywhere!!! (4) All right, let’s hit the senior munch and have the freshmen for lunch! SENIORS MAKE FRIENDS IN NINES NOT PAIRS LIFE 23
