I9 :: NO-CA-l-ll :: 27 'iffy CLASS POEM In school days we start the long climb, Sometimes almost endless it seems, As we bend to our task for a time, We catch from the future some gleams Of hope, for where e'er we may go, Our thoughts to our school ever cling 3 If trouble assails us, or woe, In gladness of school days We sing. 'Tis study that leads to success, 'Tis better to strive, though in vain, We look to the future to bless The knowledge we hope to attain. The Road to achievement is hard, But we heed not the taunts of the throng, Our tasks must be done with regard, Our hearts must be bold, our faith strong. I give you a toast of great praise ' To teachers, whose unceasing aid Has taught us, through Wearying days, Of hard' work to be unafraid. No-Ca-Hi in our thoughts e'er will stay, As the class of nineteen twenty-seven Looks forward to that gladsome day Of success for which we have striven. For some the goal will be money, While others will strive for great fame, Some will seek paths that are sunny, But none will be downcast in shame, For back of our mischief and lightness, And back of our self-will and strife, We will try to gain some of the brightness Of the mightier records of life.

I9 52 N0-CA-H1 53 27 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 10, 1923, around 8:30 A. M., a large covered wagon could be seen moving slowly along. At first it did not seem to be following any definite course, but a little later the horses settled downfinto an even trot and the wagon headed straight across the desert. This was the Class of '27. Scrambling all over the wagon were some forty or fifty young Freshmen. Most of them were anxious to go, but a few complained that they were merely going for their health f?J . At once we found our driver, Miss James, and the other guides, com- panionable and willing to tell us all the things of interest along the way. After a month or so of hard traveling, just as our Water supply was getting seriously low, we saw in the distance an oasis. Here we found sticks and wood from several low desert bushes. As it was so convenient we had a fine Marshmallow Toast. We finally reached our first stop-over somewhere near the end of May. All along the way our guides had pointed out and taught us all about the almost barren peak, Mt. Latin, and all about the various forms of plant and animal life known to Science that could be found. The next September we started on again. We found our old driver could not be secured for the rest of the journey, but in her place was the efficient Miss Patton. Our store of knowledge grew constantly. The chief event in this step of our travels, was a party given to several other caravans which happened to be going the same way we were. After a few months rest we moved on again. We were now getting more accustomed to the hardships of travel. It seemed that the farther into this desert We went the harder the pulling was. Often we needed help and sometimes We would be stranded for several days before we could get out of the sand. We usually encountered one semi-annual and one annual sand-storm around in January and May. These left many weak and exhausted. At our last resting place more of our companions turned back. And even after we had left that place and had gone on for several months our only boy turned back, leaving only twelve industrious girls to complete the journey. Those who turned back said' they had seen enough and were satisfied. But now we finally see ahead' a green, rolling plain, trees, rivers and lakes. How glad we are that We followed in the course we set out, for when we reach that plain we can say we have succeeded. I 'age T ty-two
