The event was the Students and Teachers Join l in Evening of Festivity The traditional activities of the Senior Banquet once again brought fun to those students who went to the Ritz Ballroom for that event on May 27.

SENIOR FROLIC SKITS MARK A HILARIOUS DAY Old Harding Custom Re-enacted by Class of '47 On the afternoon of March 25, the majority of the senior class gath-' ered in the auditorium looking fore- word to being amused by their, fellow classmates. The event was the Senior Frolic, which consists of original skits given by the separates home rooms followed by refresh-l ments and dancing in the gym. Needless to say, there was much laughter, applause, and cheering as the audience encouraged those brave enough to actually get up on the stage and take part in the skits. Prizes were awarded to the rooms presenting the funniest and most, original skits. Members of the fac-1 ulty acted as judges. 3 senior trip for the Class of '47, which this year was a visit to the famous halls of West Point. This big day had been well planned under the capable super- vision of the class advisers, Mrs. Mary Craig and Mr. Milton Hooper. First on the program was the re- iewing of the troopsea privilege not offered to many people. While many students witnessed this spectacular review directly from the parade grounds, others looked down on the scene from the chapel steps high on a hill. The big event of the day --seeing a much favored Army team pitted against Columbia'-was indeed a thrilling sight. Although Army walked away with a 48 to 14 victory, the excitement was at a high pitch throughout the entire game because of the spectacular playing of Davis and Blanchard. Many of the stu- dents were lucky enough to get glimpses of Bob Hope, Pat O'Brien, and other famous Hollywood stars, In between rushing here and there everyone tried his best to take in as much of the beauty of the cam- pus as possible, along with the many interesting and traditional buildings. To climax the day the appetites which had been increasing with each activity of the day were checked by a delicious dinner at Bear Mountain lnn. This sharing of a meal together emphasized the belief that there is nothing like food to make a friendly crowd more friendly. Believe it or not these young people still had enough en- ergy to dance until the time came for the busses to depart. lt was a weary but happy group of students who returned from The Senior Class iTrip of l947.

peaabation . . . We, the Class of 1947, dedicate this issue of the Folio to the Freedom of Expression -without which, we feel, there can be no real freedom, no lasting peace 'foreword . . . F reedom-the very Word resounds like a bell in the heart of every American. Freedom of speech, of the press-these are guaranteed to the people of the United States by the Constitution. Together they form the basic liberty of all-Freedom of Expression. The students of Warren Harding High School, through the media of their general classroom Work, the Spectator, and other school activities, have not only learned this principle of democracy but have also put it into practice. With the once turbulent seas of War calmed and representatives of various nations gathered in this country charting a course for the peace-seeking World to follow, we, the Class of 1947, find this Freedom of Expression shining as a beacon light guiding the way. 5
