May 4 found the halls of FBHS rather quiet, compared to most of the other regular school days, for the seniors had picked this day not to appear on the scene. Instead, the seniors were happily on their way to the Gates of the Mountains, since their other plans had been washed away. During the course of the day, different students were found doing different things: playing softball, eating, doing flips over a large pile of gravel, eating, hiking up the different mountains, gathering driftwood, just about anything in general, or eating.
