HAYRIDE The festivities on the evening of September 24th began with the initiation of the new members in the G. A. A. After these ceremonies were concluded, all members went on a hayride out to Crooked Creek. Each girl brought a guest, and the entire group filled two hay wagons. When the group reached Crooked Creek, a hugh fire was built near the bridge. Refreshments were served, and the evening was spent in story telling and singing songs. FRESHMAN INITIATION October 1. 1946, marked the end of Initiation Week. During this Week the members of the sophomore class made the freshmen earn their place in high school. This year's crop of freshmen had to wear pigtails and carry dolls as well as carry eggs and wear peculiar clothes combinations for an entire week. Then. on the last evening of the week, all were present at the initiation party. After being forced to undergo various tortures, the freshmen were admitted as full fledged students and were allowed to enter into the fun of the evening, PIE AND BOX SUPPER This year a pie and box supper was given for the benefit of the Hoyle- tonian for 1947. The night of October 24 was one of the worst of the fall seaso11. but we had a good crowd to bid for the pies and boxes and to take part in the cake walks. Mr. Paul Fark was the auctioneer and did a fine job. The most spirited bidding of the evening was done by Keith Klosterman, but he finally won out and got the box of his choice. x AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK OPEN HOUSE The fifth annual Open House in commeration of American Education Week was held on the night of November 13. Approximately 300 friends and patrons were present to see some of the work being done by the pupils and to meet the teachers.
