O U SenlorSklp Day Senior Skip Day, l954, was held on Wednesday, April 28, in Des Moines. The eight seniors md Mr. and Mrs. Begg arrived in Des Moines at approximately 9:30 and upon arriving went to visit the Mmicipal Court House. Our guide showed us the various depart- ments connected with the operating of a city government as well as the city iail . With this tour completed we drove to Bishops for our dinner. The afternoon started with a visit to the Capital where we learned about many interesting historical things. None of us were satisfied until we had tired ourselves by climbing to the dome. Then to change the atmos- phere we went to the Airport Driving Range to try our hand at golfing. From the golfing range we traversed to the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant. Then to rest our weary legs we attended the RKO-Orpheum Theatre. After viewing a double feature we drove to the Municipal Air- port where we spent an enioyable dinner hour. At 9:00 o'clock we departed to the minhlfure golf course. From there we went to the East l4th Drive-In-Theatre where we saw 'Stalag l7 and Roman Holiday . After a long fit was then 2:00 A.M.i but joyous day, we began our ioumey home. Picture Day Changing the trend of the past few years, the Seniors of 1954, had their graduation pic- tures taken at the College Town Studio, Ames, Iowa, rather than iourneying to Eldora or Waterloo. The date was February l9, o day that started with bright sunlight and a glorious atmos- phere but ended in a deluge of downpouring rain. We arrived, the eight seniors and Mr. and Mrs. Begg, at 9:30 and proceeded at once to have our photos taken. After having our pictures taken, we rummaged through the College Town Music Shop playing records. Just before lunch we were taken on a tour through the WOI-TV Station by the wife of the photographer. After seeing behind the scene action we traversed the campus to the Memorial Union where we ate our dinner. After thus refreshing ourselves we spent the greater share of the afternoon bowling and playing billiards at the Union. From the Union we went to the College Dairy Farm to watch them ready and milk their dairy herd. Having toured the farm, we iourneyed to the Sheldon Munn.Hotel for an unforgettable supper. Again filled to capacity,we attended a movie and then ioumeyed on our different ways. And so ended our picture' day. A day that brought us a number of results. First, of course, it meant pictures for all of us. It also gave us a few more experiences to add to our long list of high school memories. And last, and truly the most disastrous of all was that the day after we had our pictures taken Mr. Begg came down with an unusual illness and missed two weeks of school. lHe always said the cause was from the riotous meal and wise cracks, plus the rain which was just too much to take., 27
