The lowly snakes recite their senior poems. Ech sin a wuern . . . (I am a snake) “Ech sin a wuerm. Ech sin schrecklech deif gestallt. This saying is well-known to all the Freshmen of 1957, who were changed into slithering snakes by the Seniors. During the next two days of Initiation, the Freshmen had to hiss before each word since snakes have no vocal cords. Obeying every com- mand of the seniors, the snakes choked down a delicious lunch Friday, in time to stand in front of the student body and recite a “complimentary poem to each senior. When the skins were shed, the Freshmen became- authentic members of the high school. Hair sculptured with shaving cream added the final touch. But they managed to pay the seniors back! 28

Skits Whisperings and mutterings spread through the halls. “I know what the Junior skit is about!” “Oh no you don’t, we have just changed it!” “Have you heard that the Sophomores are planning to use Jaimie?” “No!” At the night of the skits it all came out. There was confusion and stage fright, but once the program began, all went well. The Freshmen made fun of the high school, and the Sophomores asked for a four day week, but Jaimie stole the show. The Juniors presented a skit on the dangers of putting off homework, and the Seniors left a last will and testament. During the intermission, when the judges decided the winners, the teachers relieved the tension with an hilarious trial, and in, the end, the Freshmen walked off with the prize. 29
