We struggled through two nights, and at the end of Our streak of originality, partly restrained for years, came . ., forth in full glory in our Junior year. Our brain-child was 'Junior V Day , which was a delightful day, culminated by a mock graduation. In V our crepe paper gowns, made in our temporary 'class colors', black and -gi ' blue, we performed with great gusto. As Juniors, we also exhibited ourselves to the public at Com- mencement. In our best 'bibs and tuckeren, we paraded through the sud- ,iif flower chain. all before we had reached the pinnacle of .V w 1' I .I I rg xxx i QQJZ 'K . , achievement. we were Seniors. Exercising our newly found privileges 1 u as Seniors, we arranged a Halloween dance. Enthusiastic preparations were made for the 'Spook House' and the 'Fish Pond'. We decided that - 'e, 1 1 a trip to Elmira was a necessity. Hours stolen from English, Latin, I Math., were spent in stringing skinned grapes, arranging leaves, and EQ? inventing 'booby traps' for unsuspecting customers of the 'Spook ke -A !Iouse'.
