W. Corey, C. Hunt, A. Dias, D. Paasch H. Sharpe, M. Sprau, M. Corr, R. Leist, B. Baker R. Moitoza, E. Harpin SENIOR DAY Olymerick Games OME AND gone is Senior Day. Down the aisle and across the stage have the mighty seniors paraded, confident one and all. Dauntless, fearless, conven- tion flung to far off winds, they have made their bows from their glory. Childish whims are remembered and indulged in. Existence is transferred to a land of make believe where funny paper characters come to life; where gentlemen dress in top hats and pink woolen underwear, and, horrors, forget their trou- sers; where husky football players turn to ballet dancing, and the fashion plates revert back to feature bathing togs of a more modest era. The seniors have chosen to depict the Olympics, in their “Olymericks” version. The auditorium stage is turned into an athletic field, a wrestling arena, and a seashore by turns. A strangely assorted audience costumed as gypsies, clowns, Swedish country girls, all sit gaping at the feats of glory. Visible because of his tall length is Charlie Chaplin, and fluttering her eyelashes at her poodle dog is Betty Boop. Dorothy Paasch dressed as club footed Effie Mae of the comics takes first prize among the girls and Alfred Dias (he of the top hat and pink woolen underwear) captures first prize among the boys. But the show must go on. The cross country racers take their place. Like a shot they’re off, and then what happens? The radio announcer forgets to call them in. Big little boys come onto the stage riding tricycles, kiddie cars, scooters. The powder puff comes into evidence when Frankie Caetano drags out his mirror and wipes away the perspiration. The canoes, Tippy, Dippy, and Leaky are propelled noiselessly through the rippling waters. Noiselessly did we say ? We retract that statement. We heard the paddles hit rock bottom as they literally swept their way across the stage. The girl discus throwers exhibit their art, proving what practice will do. The wrestlers bow low over their mats. They tear at each other wildly, exult- antly. The referee interferes. Now he’s in the fight. Yet another shift and we hearken unto the past when Grandma was a girl. Lovely girls dressed in the bathing suit proper and respectable in Grandma’s days show their charm with a song and a dance. Event after event takes place, each winner accepting his wreath with a limerick rhyme of thanks, until the grand final chorus brings to a close the Seniors’ Olymericks. Senior Day Committee: Eugenia Floyd (chairman), Ruth Bastin, Helen Sharpe, Neil Yepson, Ethel Harpin, Mary Tom Shelton, Margaret Shubat, Jane Johnson, Bertha Hagen, and Harold Furseth.
