Two Swamps Peril Student Life At GHS
3 Sophs Are Victims
Of Ragging Torrent
By BILL ILER
On the dreadful day of Novem
ber 6, 1963, the mighty Okeefe-
nokee Samp, located between the
Home Economics and Main build
ings unleashed its full fury. The
whole student body, especially the
Sophomores, was amazed at this
spectacular display of sheer nat
ural power. Many professional
GHS swamp - watchers declared
that this first demonstration of
the ’63-’64 season was one of the
best since the Home Ec. Dyke
broke in ’47.
On November 6, only three
sophomores were lost. The names,
as given to HIGH LIFE by Offi
cer Lodi Gleem, were Steve O.
Cumnow, 15; Jim A. Snickel. 15;
and Joseph Stalin, 74.
These three brave lads tried to
traverse the mighty Okeefenokee,
a feat which has never been ac
complished • by mortal students.
Now this threesome is only a
memory.

DUKE POWER
Principal A. P. Routhless re
ported that today’s fatalities bring
the total number of students lost
in Okeefenokee since 1929 to
91 3/5.
The GHS Transit Company ad
vised these 913/5 students could
have been saved if they had rid
den the Okeefenokee Special, the
Home Ec.-Main ferry piloted by
Capt. Dave Fieg.
The Okeefenokee Special de
parts from the Main Building one
minute after the 8:52 bell and ar
rives at the Home Ec. Building at
12:52. After a lunch break at
Ham’s, Capt. Fieg departs from
the Home Ec. at 1:30 and arrives
back at the Main at 3:30. (Capt.
Fieg takes the ferry with him.)
Tickets may be purchased for a
small fee at the School Store, or
from Purser Pat Brugh.
The GHSTC had to dispatch an
other ferry to the Great Dismal
Swamp, located between the Mu
sic and Cafeteria buildings. This
new swamp, a sister to distoric
Okeefenokee, was formed within
the brick confines of the new
grove and adds a new danger. to
the north end of the campus. The
Great Dismal Not-So-Special, pi
loted by Capt. Chet Linker, makes
it run between the Music and Caf-
eterial buildings on about the
same time-table as the Okee’ Spe
cial. Tickets may be purchased
from purser Charles Sherrill. As
of now the swamp has claimed no
students.
Just after the next big rain, a
one semester course in canoe
paddling will be taught in Great
Dismal and a one semester course
in swamp-boating will be taught
in Okeefenokee.
Also there will be classes in ice
skating on Okeefenokee and Great
Dismal during January, February,
and March.
Although , the swamps are dry
between “gully washers,” many
GHS students are craving the mo-
ment of the first drop of moisture
and the return of Okeefenokee
and Great Dismal Smaps to their
great fury.
