JUNIOR HISTORY In nineteen hundred and thirty-four, an expedition of one hundred and thirty- eight grade graduates from Coy, Wynn, and Clay prepared to penetrate the un- known depths of the Land of Higher Education. Aside from their personal equip- ment, all supplies were furnished by the Oregon Township Board of Education. It was estimated that the trip would cover a period of four years, two of which were to be spent in unsettled sections of the country. The third was to be spent in the study of the cultivated lands, and the fourth in the urban districts. Due to the inexperience of the explorers, progress was slow, but as time went on, they profited from their former mistakes. As they battled their way through dense forests of Latin and English, through a maze of algebraic and scientific under-growth, they decided to form an organization, at the meetings of which, they would discuss the problems that confronted them and possible solutions for these problems. Grover Chalet was elected president of this group with Mary Ellen Nofzinger as his assistant. A complete record was kept of all the experiences by Lillian Kontak, who was appointed scribe at the beginning of the trip. All the expense money was pooled and turned over to Esther Moritz, who lfept the accounts competently. During the next year, the way became a little easier. Although the group was still in a wilderness, they had discovered systematic ways of cutting their paths through the forests. It was decided that the organized meetings would be continued, so, in order to give the first-year ofhcials a rest, new leaders were chosen. Paul Dusseau relieved Grover Chalet of his responsibilities, and Robert Sweede took the position of his assistant. The scroll was turned over to Esther Moritz, and the account books to Donald Shultz. In the present, the travelers have found delight in practicing the manners and customs that they learned from the inhabitants of the cultivated lands. The way has been so much easier that the group has found time for some very mem- orable social activities. Again the leadership of the party has been changed. Charles Whitacre, the president, has been aided by Vernon Meinke. Marjorie Perry keeps the records, and Irene Toth has taken care of the financial affairs. Because it is the last, next year will probably be both easy and hard. The travelers anticipate entering fully into the cultured pursuits of the fourth year. They expect to make their final and concentrated effort to obtain the polished mien and habits that go with educated living and to emerge from the urban world, adequately equipped to do honor to themselves and Clay.
