...comfortably in one corner of the wagon with a happy smile on his face, shouting, "Neckst." Dave Clevenger, discouraged over the unhappy turn of events that had him escorting the most popular girl in the group. He saw her twice all evening. Fred Walther riding one of the horses bareback on the journey home (and they only serve soft drinks at Norumbega). Colonel Cornelius and Monsieur Bland piloting two of the hayracks homeward.
