26 THE LAWRENCIAN Freak Day B ABY carriages, the modern and ingenious conveyance to school; gay nineties bath- ing suits, the latest fashion for campus and af- ternoon tea — at least that’s what Annetta and Charlotte Hubbard portrayed on May 19, when L. H. S. held its annual and traditional All Freak Day. And thus it goes, from one ex- treme to the other, when vivacious and witty seniors put their heads together and emerge with something a little more freakish than usual. Although Joe Duck was considered the most original and ingenious, Tiger, our self-appointed mascot, immediately disagreed with the majority and took a violent dislike to the appropriate costume, and thus enlivened the freak parade with a bit of fancy barking and dancing. Among the participants in this imposing procession were included Grandma and Grandpa, Indian Chief, Hula Hula dan- cers, and everything under the sun , even a bit of embellished statuary. Farewell Message Tis not the thought of leaving you That fills our brains with worry. We think, no doubt, that tears are due, Yet w ' e do not feel sorry. A tragedy will soon be born The truth we must confess. This school can never carry on Without our class in L. H. S.
