HIGHLIGHIS of the Senior SNEAK “All right now. Everybody smile!” With the click of the newspaper cameras, and the final goodbyes from the bulk of the Junior Class, the Seniors boarded the American Airlines plane on Thursday morning, October 28th, that was to take them on their much anticipated Senior Sneak. It was pleasant to have the plane almost entirely to ourselves. There was one menace on board, however, in the person of Vince Gustafson, the capable president of the Junior Class, (who de- cided to go along at the last minute). In spite of this, we managed to have an enjoyable plane trip to Washington, where the gang split up and went into four cars for the rest of dhe journey to North Carolina. Once again the p resi- dent of the Junior Class became a men- ace, for he stole a suitcase from one of the Seniors, and had to be chased by a policeman on duty at the Washington Airport. Thursday night was spent in Marion, Virginia, where the whole gang stayed in one big house, and where (unlike The King’s College) there was plenty of hot water, and wonderful beds. Friday morning we awakened re- freshed, and anxious to arrive at our destination — Pisgah View Ranch, near Asheville, N. C. Breakfast was had in a little place along the road where the juke 24 box played, “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning.” We went on with our driving, and were met at the Asheville Post Office by Mr. and Mrs. Barker. We were di- rected by them to a very beautiful and restful spot—a ranch at the foot of a great mountain called Pisgah, 5,749 feet. There was a ranch house there and plenty of activity surrounding it. After eating a tremendous lunch, we spent the atfter- noon indulging in shuffle board, horse- back riding, badminton and a general exploration of the immediate territory. That night we drove to Asheville and watched two high school teams play football. The Seniors from T.K.C. cheered more than the whole crowd at the game. You know who the noise-makers are! Saturday, the gang left for a long hike up to the top of Mount Pisgah. Much grunting was heard, but the trip was enjoyed by all. A visit to Bob Jones University was the activity planned for Saturday afternoon, and the visit there was very interesting. The buildings were neat — especially the theatre building. That afternoon ‘Romeo and Juliet’’ were there, along with Dr. Bob, Jr. Sunday morning a sleepy, but happy crowd left the ranch for the trip back to Delaware. The majority arrived back at school about ten-thirty. There was one car, however, that didn't pull in until seven-fourteen on Monday morning, (car trouble again!). From all indications, the sneak was a great success because the whole gang returned dead tired, flat broke, but thor- oughly convinced that the trip was well worth anything it had cost.
