Wally Shelhamer Host in Outing;
Question: Who Brought Firecrackers?
By BARBARA BENNETT
Well, art long last school is
out. We’ve waited for this all
fall, winter, and spring. And
now for a whole summer to our
selves. But
the way it
looks it’s
going to be a
busy summer
what with
band trips
and practices,
camps, vaca
tions and
work, there is
just no rest.
At O’Neill
Barbara high the final
Bennett exams were
given Monday and Tuesday
May 15 and 16. The seniors, of
course, didn’t have to take them.
Then Saturday we went up af
ter the report cards—those lit
tle deals that never say what
you want them to.
Sunday, May 14, the baccal
aureate services were held for
the OHS seniors. Rev. V. R. Bell
spoke and there were several
musical numbers. Then Tues- |
day evening, May 16, was class
night. It was very good with the
senior class history, and pro
phecy, which were all quite a
musing. And then the big night
for the seniors, commencement.
It was Wednesday night, May
17, and that ends their high
school days.
Friday, Wally Shelhamer had
a weiner roast. There were 8
kids and they had a lot of fun.
They went out to a very pretty
place, just right for a picnjc.
There seemed to be some loud
bangs, but it certainly couldn’t
have been Wally and his fire
crackers, could it?
The St Mary’s sophomores
and juniors went to Long Pine's
Hidden Paradise, but it rained
quite hard and spoiled the day.
Some of the seniors went to the
Black Hills for their sneak day.
Say, how about some cards
or letters? If you have any news,
just let me know.
See you next week.
