 Each year. for so many years back the seniors of the High school have chosen one day in which to renew the antics of their c11ildhooa and have always arrived at school arrayed in pigtaiIs and bow ties as symbols of this period of their lives Invariably the teachers and principal denounced the day, invariably they have forbid den it's observance and invariably it has been observed. .The whole feature of the entertainment is that it is kept l a profound secret until it bursts upon the other students. teachers, principal, janitor and all, in the full glory of the discarded childhood of the partf- cipants
 Of course they are kept out of chapel, for chapelt is the most solemn of assemblies where one scarcely dares smile, and of course they are kept out i of classes until they divest themselves of their exceedingly youthful attire, but who of them care so long as he has had his fun.
