CLIPPING:

SENIORS MAKE FINE AFFAIR OF KID DAY

On Friday, May 5, the Class of ’22 further enriched their reputation by thepromotion of what was probably the best Kid Day in the annals of the school. TheSenior Kid Day is an annual affair, taking place in the spring, and it isrecognized as an all-Senior affair, the Seniors’ holiday.

This year was no exception to the general rule, and the variety of thecostuming was remarkable. Most of the students were clothed in children’sgarb, but a few were costumed as tramps and hobos.

The Seniors assembled at the Parish House at eight o’clock, and the paradewas formed. From the Parish House the aggregation moved westward, and down Mainstreet. The parade, which was the largest one of its kind in the history of theD.H.S., extending for over a block, represented every color of the rainbow as itpassed down the street. It was headed by the president and vice-president of theclass, followed by three students in kids’ clothes carrying musicalinstruments and imitating the “Spirit of 76”. Then came the traditional“Mayflower”, taken from the school building the preceding night anddecorated gayly with the Senior colors, containing several girls of the class.Immediately following came the main body of the parade.

Regular classes began promptly afterwards with the Seniors attending in theincongrulous costumes. The Seniors continued to wear their tacky day raimentsthroughout the day, much to the dislike of the lower classmen, who attemptedcontinually to put the ‘kidding’ in the kid day.
