However, because of the cold weather which usually accompanies midyear graduation time, the January class held its outing on October 10th, 1933, at the Masonic Park at Marietta, Ohio. The early part of the afternoon was spent in games such as baseball, pitching quoits, and making use of the amusement facilities, namely, teeters. swings, and the like. After tiring themselves with these amusements which are supposed to be almost forgotten by dignified seniors. a delightful picnic supper, consisting of all those necessary details which make a successful picnic. was served. COLOR DAY g Each year the graduating class of Parkersburg High School has set aside one day of its program as Color Day. Accordingly on Novem- ber 8, the members of the January class of '34 displayed their class colors of blue and silver, and presented a delightful assembly program for the enjoyment of the entire student body. For the presentation, the stage was artistically decorated in the colors of the class. The program consisted of popular selections played by the Blennerhassett Islanders, and others by several of the Senior II's. At the close of school the class flag which floated by the side of the American emblem, was slowly lowered, and another day of joy in the lives of the graduates passed on, leaving a beautiful memory. ikim.. nm. at .,.-'.'a.grm.i'ut......tr..'1 page twenty-num
