From Thursday's Dalty Tiie Senior class ot riattsmouth High school is absent in toto today. The elaborate preparations and the wide publicity connected with the plans of the Seniors tend to make the name '"Sneak Day"' quite absurd. At least it's '"Senior Day" and the Seniors are enjoying a big picnic and camping trip near Crete. By camping is meant that they are pre paring their own meals. Instead of buying one meal "ready made" in a "foreign city," the Seniors pur-; chased $25 worth paper plates here of groceries and in Plattsmouth. '. These purchases and the preparation of the two meals, breakfast at 7:00 a. m. and the noon lunch, were all in the hands of Senior committees Each student was charged 25 cents for the two meals. The transporta tion to Crete and the row-boat and cabin rental at Horky's Park are paid fr fro::; Senior play money. Rowing, motor boating, soft ball, horseshoes ai:d eating aie some of the major snorts indulged in by the ;.l.sci.t Seniors. The presence of Coaih Eoggess as life guard insures srfetv on the water.
