GES History In September 1945, the caravan that was to carry the prospectors of 1949 was made ready for its long journey. The wagon commanders, Miss Mary G. Quinn, George Gracie, Nancy Marshall, Kathryn Ann Lewis, and Ruth Ward, helped to prepare the eager adventurers for the voyage that was to bring them both pleasure and knowledge. The first year was an experience for these wayfarers; and their first party, the St. Patrick’s Day Dance, provided funds to start their trip. Thus, this year can be recorded in the caravan records as a pleasant beginning for the years that were to follow. A year passed, and still the travelers moved onward under the guidance of newly elected leaders, Miss Richardson, Richard Belanger, Nancy Marshall, Viriginia Greathead, and John Loring. Work, experi- ence, and lessons, well-learned, constituted the onward trek. On Halloween, progress was halted long enough to have a dance which provided both rest and enjoyment. Later, by a small lake, Nuttings’, to be exact, the journey was halted again. Here, a roller skating party was held, after which the caravan moved on again with even more zest. With fruitful knowledge thus gained, we advanced to meet and to overcome more easily and successfully attendant obstacles. Miss Dorothy Richardson, Bradley Jacobs, Nancy Marshall, Susan Jean, and John Lor- ing were in charge of the caravan, and the wagons rolled along with ease as the third year of their journey came into view. The most important dance held by these prospectors was “Moonlight and Roses”, the Junior Prom. ats of this event will linger always in the minds of those who at- tended. The goal was now in sight. Their destination was just over the horizon. Excitement was growing stronger, while a play was produced to provide further funds. A comedy, June Mad, the story of a lovesick teen-ager, well merited the plaudits of all lovers of amateur dramatics. One of the group, Mrs. Alice Card, adept at coaching, helped the cast: Susan Jean, Roland Smith, Helen Corkum, Duncan MacLennan, Bradley Jacobs, Kathryn Ann Lewis, Claire Boyland, Louis Tuleja, Barry Lynch, Richard Derby, Lorraine Lambert, Arthur Johanson, and Ruth Murphy to present laudable performances. A club, the Tri-Delta, consisting of the women members of the caravan, was formed. Dances, parties, and food sales formed the list of activities of this active group. They did much to raise money for their group. Now it was June 1949. Again in Forty-nine there has been another gold-rush. It has taken these prospectors four years to gain the greatest “gold” ever discovered, knowledge. The caravan is breaking up now; each wagon will go on toward a separate goal; but all have the same wealth, a golden education as their best promise of success. SUSAN JEAN ae Se
