Seniors Sneak
To Eklutna
Seniors of Palmer high school,
who took their traditional sneak
day last Thursday, planned a
holiday that kept them chiefly
occupied with kitchen chores.
In order to get a full 24-hours
enjoyment from their day off,
they arose at 5 o’clock Thursday
morning to begin the day.
Voting in favor of an open-air
rest, seniors stowed a three-meal
menu in their cars and departed
to a rendezvous at the Mata
nuska bridge. From there, the 25
seniors drove to Eklutna lake,
where they breakfasted on bacon
and eggs cooked over an open
campfire.
The graduates spent the day at
the lake, cooking their lunch
and dinner gypsy-fashion over
the fire. At the end of the day,
they packed up the scraps and
drove to Anchorage, there to
conclude their holiday with
roller-skating or a movie, as their
fancy dictated.
Plans for sneak day were en
trusted to a committee of four
made up of Georgia Small, Evon
DeLand, Don Parks and Bud
Billot.
