SENIORS SKIP CLASSES''
GO SWIMMING MAY 5
A fir bell announces the
Senior Skip Day, May 5. Most
of the Seniors boarded the bus
and proceeded out to Jackson
Hot Springs for an enjoyable
morning of swimming, Softball,
volleyball, and other games.
The exact date of the Senior
Skip Day was well guarded as
it came a complete surprise to
those in the Senior class. Only
the class officers and Mr. Lewis
knew what day it would be.
