--K-'Ei Y 11 c c a The School Hike BANG! ZIP! BOOM! Fun? A good time? VVell, I should say we had, and much more. The big event of the year was the school hike. Everyone left school early Fri- day morning for Brookside Park. Due to the fact that transportation facilities were somewhat limited the majority travelled afoot. The hike was a very enjoyable one and everyone was happy. A series of tennis matches and an indoor baseball game were the outstanding features of the morning. Most everyone was busy having a good time and noon rolled around very quickly. Pop Hoyt served the eats in his own delectable style. After lunch lVIr. Edwards, our Physical Education instructor, organized a num- f I ber of races and games for all interested. Some continued their tennis matches 0 tie morning. When everyone had been a participant in at least one race, a challenge xx as issue by the college to the high school. The point of contention was the football title of the school. Accordingly the Rose Bowl was opened and the football warriors trudged out on the field amidst the cheers of the assembled students. The high school lost the game by one touchdown, but they gave the college a stiff battle. ' f h h d l.d When the game was over everyone left for home, agreeing that t ey a 11 a ,Y wonderful time and could really sing with sincerity, The End of a Perfect Day. -W. P.
