Four years ago train No. 1921 left Freshmen Corners and started on Its trip toward Sophomore Village. The train was tilled for there were many passengers. The road was rather rough and the train traveled rapidly for there was a long Journey ahead. The chief engineer on this journey was .Mr. Sherman, and the conductor was Mr. Savage. The other members ot the train crew were Miss Culver. Miss Duffy, Miss Cates, Miss Carver, Miss Gwynn, Mr. Jenks. and Mr. McWilliams. The brakeman was Henrietta Jorrissen. The train stopped at various stations on the way, and at these times the passengers were allowed to get off and rest themselves. There were eight stops. At two of them we entertained people from other trains. Dancing was enjoyed and refreshments served, so that all felt ready to go on their journey again. All was not pleasant on this trip, for at Latin Swamp the train was almost wrecked, hut Miss Duffy's Ingenuity brought us through safely. We had one more stop, this time for a picnic. We finally reached Sophomore Village, but not before a number or the passengers had decided to leave the train and live at other towns. After three months stop while the train was repaired, we started • n again. This time Engineer Sherman was again at the head, with Mr. Savage as conductor. The train crew was changed some this time. It was composed of Miss Congleton. Miss Adair. Miss Davis, Miss Sayles, Miss Greenfield. Mr. Wheater and Mr. Jenks. The brakeman was changed. This time Mavorie Farmer held the position. Hit , assistants were Hazel Weeks, Nina May. and William Bsler. Miss Sayles was put in charge of the meals, and she remained in charge for the rest of the trip. At Caesar Bridge there was a terrible wreck, and a number of the assengers wore so seriously injured that they did not recover for a ear. There were only four stops for recreation this time, as the engineer decided that it would l»e necessary to spend more time in traveling way was so rough, and the Journey so long. At one of the station stops a play was given by the passengers for the entertainment of people from other trains. Tills play For the Old Flag.” will long be remembered. At another station a tug-of-war was held. Our train. No. and train. No. 1920, put up a good fight, but were finally pulled through the water. The lust stop before reaching Junior Town was a picnic. We had a wonderful time for we climbed sand dunes, wandered through woods, and ate ice cream and cake until we wondered if we would ever want to eat any again. We travelled only a short distance further before we reached Junior Town. Here we had another three months wait. Again the passengers scattered, but again they returned. We realized now that our Journey was half over, and we decided to make the most of the rest of it. A few of our passengers decided not to go any further, but in spite of this we had quite a number who boarded the train for Senior City. This time we had a different engineer. Mr. Blanchard. The conductor also was changed. Mr. Spitler holding the position. The ■ the.-members of the train crew were Miss McCauley, Miss Sayles, Min.; Anklet. Miss Davis, Miss Adair, Miss Fruechtel. Mr. Gilbert, and Mr. Wellman. Henrietta Jorrhsen was our conductor. She had for her assistants, James I.evore, Hazel Weeks, and Melbourne Barton. All cf these resigned and left us exept James before the journey wa: ended. Clarence Riddell was given Henrietta's position, and Marion lleeg and Margaret Hasley filled the other places well. There were more stops this year than ever before. At eight cf these stations dancing parties were given. The passengers of cur train were the hosts at two of them. On our train we had formed a basket ball team and it surely was a fine one. for it won for us the cup which was presented to the train whose team won the most games In the tournament. There were teams from three other trains competing. We also won fame in another athletic contest, in the Field Day track meet. There were several events In the meet, nnd when the Pag ; fifteen

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY-CONTINUED ---------------------------------------- 1 9 --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- • 2 1 ---------------------------------- final scores were added, it was found that train No. 1! 21 in connection with train No. 1920 had won the meet. On May 21, 1920, we entertained the passengers from train No. 1920 at the Junior-Senior Reception. An elaborate banquet was served, after which dancing was enjoyed. The decorations of purple and gold, and green and white were very effective on the banquet tables and in the dance hall. Our last stop before reaching Senior City was for another picnic. This time, however, instead of having one by ourselves we had it in connection with passengers from trains 1920, 1922. and 1923. When this was over, we again boarded our train and soon were in Senior City. We were anxious to see the wonders of this city, but before doing so, we took another three months rest. When we gathered together in September, 1920. there were only twenty-one of us. This time the train crew was almost the same as it had been. There were a few changes, however, for Miss Pett, Miss Schultz, and Mr. Trull were with us. We were eager for this trip, and yet dreaded it. for we realized that this was the last one we would make together. We were now-headed for the great sea, the Sen of Life, where we would launch, not together, but separately. Our brakeman on this last trip was a splendid one, Marion lieeg. Her assistants were Walter Dennert, Carson McMillan, and Margaret Hasley. There were five stops on this trip for parties, at one of which we entertained the passengers from other trains. On the afternoon of May sixth, we stopped at Fair Grounds Crossing for a rtack meet. Our passengers did splendidly, in this, showing that they were good athletes. Their athletic ability had been previously displayed in basket ball. A team had been chosen from the passengers of our train and trains No. 1922, 1923, and 1924. Three of the members of this team were from our train. On May thirteenth, we did what we had done two years before, only on a much larger scale. We gave a play for the entertainment of the passengers of other trains. The name of the play you all remember undoubtedly. It was “Niobe, All Smiles.” It was a splendid success as you will also recall. One week after this event we were honored guests at a banquet and dance, known as the Junior Reception. The passengers of train No. 1922 were in charge of this. We decided to follow the example of those who had taken this trip before us and publish a Martian which would contain all our honors and achievements, as well as those of the pnssengers of the other trains. You can judge for yourselves the merit of our work. Now we nave reached the end of our journey. We are together tonight for almost the last time. Our train has reached its final destination, Commencement Harbor. “Tonight we set sail, where shall we anchor? Each of us will anchor in a different place, but as we sail wo shall all look back to the good old times of H. H. S. I.OIS HAWLEY. Page sixteen
