End of School Ritual Hyrum Utah

 Tony is a graduating senior this year.  They had a community wide murder game with water guns.  Tony is a senior and was really disappointed when he got out in Chilis.  We thought you couldn't play inside businesses,  but we were wrong.

Water was a part of the end of school ritual in Hyrum where I grew up.  The last day was a big water fight throughout town as people made their way home, usually walking.  A water pistol was effective, but the best weapon was a surgical hose.  Those things could throw water a long ways.  I got hit by one once.

The othre normal riitual was Hyrum Dam for swimming or cliff jumping.  One year the water wasn't as high as usual and resulted in a couple back injuries.
