Senior Skip Day Three thirty in the morning is awfully early to get up, but when it means a lot of fun hanging your class colors all over town, and three dummies of the Junior Class, the Seniors of '48 crawled out of bed and decorated the town of Sutherland from the highest building to the lowest tin can with their class colors of silver and blue. And you should have seen the Junior class room, what a mess when we were through. Then we all went home and ate a hearty breakfast and met at the school house at eight o’clock and took off for Kearney for a day never to be forgotten as long as there is one ’48 graduate left on this earth. We arrived in Kearney around eleven o’clock and as they go by fast time and we were all rather famished we ate dinner at Harmon Park. The girls had prepared a picnic dinner of fried chicken, potato salad, baked beans, pickles, potato chips, buns and butter, olives, apples, pop, and ice cream and cake. Then when we had eaten all we could hold we cleaned up our mess and drove out to the Army Air Base. There we were met by a Captain and escorted to the officers hall. There the vrincipal operations of the base were explained and we left for a tour of the whole base. I think we were shown through every thing there including the mess halls where fifteen hundred men were fed at a time, the hangars where we saw the P-51, P-82, and one great big monster of an airplane. They let us climb all over them and look at every little part. Then we went through a radar set, rode in the link trainers, climbed the stairs to the look-out tower. The most enjoyable part of the tour was when we were all worn out from tramping around all over the base, they took us to the recreation building and gave us cokes, u-m-m-m they really hit the spot. Then we danced and played the slot machines and listened to the juke box. Around five o’clock we left very tired but happy and journeyed back into town and everyone shopped and played around, until around six o'clock. Then we changed our clothes and went to supper. At eight o’clock we went to the Kearney Teen-timer Club while the chaperones took in a show. There we could dance, play cards, pool, or table tennis. It was really a very nice place and we all enjoyed ourselves. At ten-thirty their time we all started for home. It was really quite a day of adventure and we all had a grand time. Here's hoping all future senior skip days can be as much fun as ours was. We wish to express our thanks to Mr. Kessler, Mrs. Godeker, Mrs. Cox, Mrs. Godwin and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence for chaperoning this skip day and making it possible for us to go. 12
