real live Seniors assembled at the
High school and about 6:3O start

gold at the foot of the rainbow.

LBS Seniors, they actually tried TO
be dignified. However, dignity is
probably word with which the
Nlass of '18 has never become ia
miliar, for melodious outbursts
OF laughter and peculiar phrases

from the midst of the happy
throng continuously until they
had reached Sixth street hollow.
