Joyce 'Payne and Elva Messenger carrying the heaviest speaking parts for the girls, and Bob Wendt and jack Sowell leading theboys cast brought many laughs and high- lights to the play. The story was a clean cut picture of a girl who was supposed to be very bashful and retiring, but in reality she got what she was after, and her bashfulness seemed to no longer prevail. The cast was composed of the following: Nancy Adams .,....,...........,.................. .,,....,. I oyce Payne Grace Adams ,... ........,.,....,........,....,,,, ,......

The Personnel: Fourteen cold but happy Seniors headed for Crescent City and an eventful clay. A H The Plot: After embarking, undaunted by the light rain, in cars belonging to Jay Hayes, Jim Baldwin and Montee Heald, the group arrived in Crescent City around seven o'clock A. M. After assuring the population of fthe coastal town fxvhich was thin at that hour, that we were there, a damp and breezy hour or so was spent in beach comb- ing, wading, and taking snapshots. Through the course of the day we enjoved a trip thruogh the aquarium and the ad- joining museum. Also a tramp on Pebble Beach, coming back to a fire and lunch, con- sisting of the usual sand, potato salad, sandwiches, potato chips, baked beans, cookies, fruit olives, pickles and sand fleas. The group, with some sickness but not enough to dampen spirits, returned home, arriving a little after six P.

To greet them upon their arrival was a group of happy Seniors, beaming with authority. In addition to their night clothes, the Freshman had ribbons of green in their hair and around their necks. On the ribbons were strung an assortment of tin cans and pine cones. ' ' During the day they were kept busy carrying books for Seniors, praising Alah, and doing other tasks given them by the Seniors. At noon they paraded through Kerby, showing themselves off. - In the evening they came back to school for the purpose of finishing up the day in fine style. They were taken for an airplane ride and they rolled burned corks across the floor with their noses. Fonfrefreshments they were served tempting morsels of plain gelatin, oysters and sour grapes. They then blew in water and in flour, which formed a thick paste on their faces. At the close of the evening they unsctambled their shoes, which had previously been tied together by the Seniors, and then some dancing followed. They departed fully initiated into- our midst.
