and

many of us are looking forward to the time when this sc hool will have its even better boys.

There will come a tim e when boys

will be accepted entirely on the basis of their character. Most of our class has been of a hig h caliber.

Some boys in the sc hool were di sliked.

Some still are. How eve r, in going' to any

Senior Weekend

Our Prophecy and Will

After long weeks w ithou t women, th e ninth graders remembered that deep in'· the p,a st of last yea r ther e was a special week end devoted to the Seni ors and th eir dates.

The week··· end las ted from Friday through Sunday. During that tim(! the Seni ors and their dates· we nt to the movies, danced, wa tch ed a ball game, e-tc.

This year Senio r Weekend was shortened by one day, cutting out th e m ovies and rnuch free tim e:.A rig id sch edul e was fo llowed w it h g r oa ns from the Seniors . H owever a:t the eqcl of the weeke nd the only complain t · about it seemed to be that it was too sho rt. Tsk, tsk.

On Saturday the g irls ca m e and wa tched · a fast ·and di smayi ng ball game. This ball game could not be duplicated. At least I h9,pe it wo n't be. After the ga m e a ll Se ni ors· a11i:l dates r etr ea ted to th ei r respective positio ns positions to chan ge for supp er and to exaggerate th eir various exp er.iences.

At thi s time th e stra nges t switch ing of .dat es started, at the girl s' expe nse. I did no t participate in th e sla ughte r of rights.

Back at the sc hool again the p; irls were escorted on a romant ic ride over the lake. The ca noes were comma nded by the Sen ior class.

The dates of the boys, t hough fa ir, were st ro ng and supplied mos t of the power. This ended the weeke nd.

Weirs Beach Trip _On May 25 the Se ni or Class took a trip to Weirs Beach in Laconia on Lake Winnipesau k ee. It was a gr eat deal of fun. Dick Clancy gave us more food than we could eat. Our boxes, loaded wi th provisio n s included six cans of Hawa iian Punch and three cans of Apricot Nec tar. Another cardboa rd ca rton was loaded to th e brim w ith turkey a nd crabmeat sandwiches . There was a bin of potatc, ch ips and a box of twenty-odd cakes or so. Nee dl ess to say, no t all th e food was ea ten .

When we arriv ed at Th e Weirs the first thing most of us headed for was the Penn1 Arcade. It took a minimum of fifteen min ut es for the m a jority to "blow their clought." then we settle d dow n t o a clay at the beach.

With a beach ball and t wo soft balls, we were soon t earing up the beach . driving everyon e cra zy. Some .of th e kids chi ped in and rented a motorboat . All th e r est a ttacked the food with a re lish. or settled down to see w ho could ge t the best su nburn .

In order to ge t the mos t pleasure out of Weirs Beach, we had left right after our first class Saturday m orning. The drive was a long one, but with eve ryone talking at once about th e sa m e thing, tim e passed quickly.
