THE GOLF EXCAVATION THE SENIOR 41 One-two-three-Pore! To the green, to the green Send the Word, send the word to the green That the ball is coming, The ball is coming, The ball is coming, we hope. Then we hike, and we hike From the rough, to the rough, in the rough, For we're all beginners, We'll soon be winners, We'll never ever have enough. Rough, trap, fairway, hole! Rough, trap, fairway, hole! Yeah! Sunkl 41 EXCURSION All preceded by considerable primping. lt Will Be All Right on the Night at Schroon Lake Camp-and it was, with Evvie kept pretty busy and Helen just a Dancing Lady. .lean sang beautifully as usual. The Cayuga Prom, however, was the nearest thing this summer to adventure in a night club, what with red-checked table cloths, balloons and refreshments. lt was such a hot night at Wakonda, with nary a breeze a-blow- ing, one boy sported three shirts in an effort to keep cool. We had A Girl to Order for the occasion, featuring a hero who pranced around the stage half in and half out of Bev's' borrowed rairnent. Our last trip out was a Paradox-ical triumph and a good punch line to the season.

ON THE TICONDEROGA VVARPATH Our Senior Squaws met the Schroon Lake Braves and out came the warpaint. After a hearty luncheon, they took the fort by storm-through historic gateways and musty dungeons, up and down creaking stair- and hall-ways, to say nothing of an underground tunnel. E'ager1y they examined ancient documents, broken pieces of china and pewter, and impressive, though long silent cannon. Phyllis Merson doubled up like a pretzel trying to snap a picture and Muriel Helfman almost got lost searching for the entrance to the dungeons. But it was in the village that our braves did the most damage, attacking sodas and ice cream in ferocious manner. BY COVERED WAGON Blossom was the lone Voice crying in the wilderness of Saratoga. She wanted to see the racetrack and the springs, but she remained just a minority. Bing Crosby in Rhythm on the Range provided some consolation, because Izzy and Blossom were able to sing along with the familiar tunes. Nat and Gloria frightened the townsfolk by making so much noise with their popcorn. Lake George, means fudgicles and the speed-boat. Claire, Selene and Gloria engaged in much discussion about the back seat in the boat. CP. S. Gloria got the seat.j Zooming along on Lake George, making the spray fly is an exhilarating experience. When the shopping sprees were over Muriel Simon discovered, to her regret, that she had the one magazine that everyone was clamoring to read. However, the Glens Falls trip of the year was unquestionably the Robert Taylor hike where 70 palpitant young females traveled on the season's last trip to see the new national heartbeat. THE AUSABLE ADVENTURE Generations of Indian trail-blazers must have preceded the Rondack braves down Ausable Chasm, but their reaction to each new wonder was just as fresh as if it had never been experienced before. Helen Lewis and Joyce Bachrack finally found satisfac- tory post cards Cand were they hard to pleaselj. After lunch came the Great Descent, down thousands of steps-well, almost -into the gorge. Speaking of Nature's infinite variety, Frances Pearlman found Elephants Head pretty convincing- for a mere rock--and everyone looked hopefully through the post oHice for a possible long lost friend. Two very remark- able spectacles were the tree with the roots on top and the little girl on the dock who kept crying for more lollipops. The boat- ride took us through the deepest and wildest part of the Chasm, and back for the homeward trek to our own Covered Wagon.
