Senior Sneak Day

This event was originally called skip or sneak day because all of the students in the senior class would skip school on the same day. No one in the senior class would show up for school. It evolved quite a bit by the time we would have done it. Not only did the school and faculty know about it, but they even let us use one of our old yellow school busses and a driver for the day.

We went to the bowling alley in Hollister first. We had a lot of fun there and then we headed out for Rockaway. It is (or was) a recreation area with a few rides and concession stands. It had a huge ferris wheel. That is one ride that kind of scares me, let's say it makes me very uneasy. Yeah I know, the fearless roller coaster rider afraid of the ferris wheel! Kind of ironic huh? I was goaded and talked in to going on it anyway, and I was right---I didn't like it at all! I hate that feeling of being dropped and always felt like I was going to get "flung" right out of that seat. I don't like any ride that drops me. We had a great time while we were there. We ate our share of the junk food that they sell at these places.Before we knew it, it was time to head back to the school.We had to get the school bus back so it could take some kids home, and of course catch our own busses.

Sure glad I didn't get "flung" anywhere, or all of you would't be around to read this! lol

  2. Sounds more like a senior trip if they let you have the bus. And there better not be any of those kind of days for my child. LOL
