And it's carrying a treasure That's been garnered in the years, With a treasure that's full laden, lVith our youthful hopes and fears. It is setting out at sunrise With our future in its load, It's the starting of our struggle For success and fame and gold! And although our hearts be heavy, As at parting they must be, We shall venture forth, undaunted, On the Sands of Destiny. True, the prizes lllily be seanty, And the years seein bleak and long, But we'll face the future bravely, If our hearts will keep youth's song. For in youth there's 110 to-morrow, And forever time may run g For youth's gaze is ever upward To the heights still to be won So Caravan of Nineteen-Thirty Keep your precious dreams so true, And re-live our happy ll19lll,1ll8S, liven though we bid adieu. And though storms beset our travels, And Wild winds impede our ways, We can brave life's fiercest tenipests, If we think of other days.

Many gave up the attempt to gain the Golden Waters anil. too tired to go further, fell by the wayside, but some have joined the Varavan and are now nearing the Oasis of Education with the Senior Caravan. Four years ago, thirty-three assembled in the Tent of Initiation and took the Vows of Allah to honor and support the famous Arabic Fountain of Educa- tion commonly called Belt Valley High School. The cruel Senior lfaravan of the Festival of the Green Tunics forced desert snakes down our throats and colored our skins with cactus brushes. Such was the torture taken by the Fresh- men Caravan to prove its worth. llesiring a leader, Mayme Johnson, alias Princess Bacraulbarder was chosen to precede the Uaravan on her mighty charger to see that all went well. She has succeeded in this position all four years, what with the help of Kathryn, alias Morgiana, and Sheddah, otherwise Eva as the Fhief Keepers of the Tablets of Gold. llays passed and as these green clad Arabs struggled over burning sands of learning, more difficulties arose. Forced up to the White Temple on the East Mount, the Freshmen Caravan stopped long enough to perform the Sacred Rites of Rejuvenating tl1e Symbolic Letter. The customary three months rest was made at the Oasis of the Harmonious Tree at the end of the first year and during this period, Green Tunics were exchanged for those of a 1l1OI'8 pleasing hue and the journey was begun again in a new light. The Sands of Sophistication were easier to travel and it was a comparatively short time until the next stop for three months was made at the lsle of Boba. At last the Year of Responsibility had arrived and the Faravan continued to gain Golden XVaters of Learning. Ministers of State were to be chosen to the Great I'ouncilg Abe-El-Melik, otherwise Ben Hirano and Emur Moosa, Ruth Wilson, were appointed. XVith the permission of Sultan Bowman and the advice of Marjorie Macrae, the Caravan was divided into Hands, each per- forming duties in preparing for the Grand Promenade to be given in honor of the Senior Caravan. The magicians transformed the Temple into a paradise of magic color and singing trees, making this festival one to be remembered. Again the Varavan stopped for a last rest before beginning the final journey through the Sands of Learning. By this time, the Arabs have become the Senior Caravan and are nearing their destination. Shrines at Merca are glistening in the distance. These sophisticated persons have performed all the duties required of them, and added ones alsog supervising the new Freshman Caravan to take the Vows of Allah, causing the Rites of Rejuvenating the Symbolic Letter to be observed, starting the Most High Husky Herald to broad- cast the news of the Sands of Learning, and last but not the least by far, com- pleting a most successful Year Book called the Belt Buckle. After all of this struggle, we are assembled at the Ceremony of 'Graduation to accept those Symbols of Knowledge, our diplomas, signifying that the Senior Caravan has passed safely and satisfactorily over the Sands of Learningf M.xn.Ionir: SH.x1n:.xnn il 19 3 O l tl Il Il II Il il il ICI?

C:iIDI IDI IDI IDI I BELT BUCKLE 3 BRASS 'W7lllllLJlIL9 As is customary when tl1e Senior Caravan reaches the Oasis of Education it bequeaths its highly prized possessions to those who follow, that tl1ey may find the way less difficult. ' To Grand Caliph Bowman was assigned the task of discovering the will. Following the explicit instructions given l1im, he approached East Mount, struck three times on the stone and pronounced the magic words, Open Sesa- me. lVith a tremor a massive door was thrown open. He entered the darkened cave where he found the papyrus, on which were enscribed the bequests of the renowned tribe: To the School and Members of the Faculty at large we leave our sincere regards and happy recollections of the 111en1ories of dear Belt High. To our beloved Superintendent, Mr. Bowman, we leave our best wish for success and happiness, an appreciation for his help and guidance during the past years, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. To Mr. Zile we will our wishes for a championship team next year. To Mr. Franklin we leave the sighs and the blushes of the Senior Girls. To Miss Olson, a stepladder to help her get out of the assembly when she's locked in. To Miss IVorth, Kathryn wills Pearl Grey, her pet cat, and hopes it will receive many loving pats. A To Miss Kellams, a new pair of hiking boots. To Mr. Cranston, the happy thoughts of the drives of the Peppy Peda- gogues to Armington and their excessive back-seat giggling. Caliph Bowman picked up another paper on which the members of the Class of 1930 had willed some of their extra tick-tacks which they valued very much but felt that they couldnit take them along with them, so left them in the care of the lower classmen: Master IValfred Salo wills his f'Shakespearian', qualities to Albert Larkin, and his beloved t'Oscar to Harry King. Eino Kivi, the noisiest boy in the Senior Class, wills his golden silence to Earl Kennedy. Our Elmer wants to give his success in serenading fair damsels to Half- Pint Atkinson. Every class has its lovers so Fred and Helen will their devotion to Jilll and V 1 v v 1 v v Zelda May they be as devoted 1 . u Rosalie Ilolin just hates to see f'Long John Ryffel so quiet all the time so she wills him her ability to chatter, chatter, and chatter some more. Ruth Wilson, one of the school's best arguers will be leaving but she wants to leave her ability to 'Tudgev Guiles. Margaret Carr wills her Secretarial position to Bernice Tuura. May she please Mr. Bowman as well as Margaret has. 1 19 3 0 I II II II II II II II Ili IC' Page 35
