LLY BEACH Photo by Walker JUNIORS DISCLOSE SECRET Tliey tell how they uncovered sneak FRUSTRATING over a half a year ' s careful planning, the Juniors not only discovered the site of the Seniors ' sneak five days prior to S Day Nov. 10. 1949, but they also revealed the des- tination of this annual outing to many an ignorant Senior. After much guessing and speculation, the dejected Seniors falsely concluded that a phone call to the bus station the night before had been the means of dis- covering this closely guarded secret. In reality on S Day, minus five, the actual location of the sneak was gleaned from the contents of two over-heard conversations. One uncovered the site as being either near Charlotte, N. C, or else at Folly Beach, S. C. The other re- peated Folly Beach but gave Poinsetti State Park as the alternative. Thus this high priority information was obtained a full three days prior to the searching of a certain Senior ' s desk which contained further information. This enabled Burt Harding, Harold Sells, Ed Walker and Tommy Watson to depart for Folly Beach with previously prepared signs a full hour before the Seniors posted an ultimatum containing their unconditional surrender. A con- firmation phone call the night before made it possible for Hubert Addleton, Cecil Hawkins, Archie Davis, Frank San- ders, Lee Kirkpatrick, John Knopf and Pierce Barnes to be aboard the chartered bus when it arrived at school at 5:15 A.M. on S Day. The secrecy employed by the Seniors in telling only a few of their classmates of the site boomeranged by enabling the victorious Juniors to inform many an unsuspecting Senior of his destination. This was accomplished by shining their flashlights on a huge Folly Beach Spe- cial—Best Wishes— Juniors sign plastered on the side of the bus. This victory was put in song by Sophie Graham and given its premier rendition at the breakfast table the same morning. Huge Greyhound bus signs and Folly Beach photographs placed on the Stu- dent Association bulletin board formed a vivid exhibit of this great success.

Assuming the responsibilities and privileges of upperclassmen, they en- gaged in several social activities of which the Junior-Senior Banquet, an Earl- wood breakfast hike and a progressive party were the most successful. Adopting the program of the Apostles, the Juniors endeavored to put into prac- tice their year verse:. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. — Acts 6:4.
