After this strenuous attack we decided to take time out for a trip to the Hot Springs where a good time was had by all!! For our last play we gathered all of our strength to put forth the final effort of a Graduation Dance in honor of the departing Seniors. At last we had reached the final quarter of the game and we started out with a bang, our first important play bting the Senior Frolic. The carnival idea was carried out with balloons, confetti, and much gayety. We followed this by the Senior play which was za great success. Senior Sneak Day was our final thrust into the opposition's territory. It was then that we fumbled and our hope of a trip to Carlsbad Caverns was lost: however, soon after that we recovered the ball just in time to make it a trip to Stockton Pass instead. We left Wednesday morning, April 3, when all the Seniors loaded into the bus and were taken to the historic pass. The climax of the year's activities was the last play where we took the ball when they used the Junior-Senior Banquet. In the last minutes of the game we made our best showing. Because we had fought long and hard to win this game we were given our diplomas. The whistle blows! The game is over! We, the team of 1940, leave the field happy in our many victories but sad that this is the last of our high school days! The Ocotillo-Page twenty
