Seniors met. | A little after 8:00 everything was all ready, so they formed a pro- | cession that rolled proudly past the High School, honking horns and shouting. Everyone was _ thinking, “Bahia Honda, here we come! This wonderful day is here at last!” | At Bahia “onda everyore scram bled into bathing suits and spread ; blankets and towels out on the sand.

Por- table radios were also very popu- lar, particly for the ‘‘Sunburners.’’ By 11:30 everyone was starving and helped themselves to a deli- cious lunch of ham, potato salad, olives, pickles, potato chips, cheese, cokes, doughnuts, and rolls. These had been thoughtfully provided by the committee, heaeod by Morton Hall, Billy Osterhoudt, and Yvonne McCardle.
