THE FOUR-YEARS TOUR THE members of the class of 1934 spent their first year of this scene in putting on the finishing touches of their elementary tour and in preparation of their next undertaking. On one Saturday they also had one of the most unique parties due to the careful planning of Miss Hughes, Lloyd Bowman, Thomas Stoneburner and George Deems. Music was supplied by Lloyd Bowman's orchestra made up of our own musicians. After lunch all enjoyed an interesting program, dancing, and a basketball game between the Eight B's and the Eight A's. The one hundred and thirtyftwo pupils, under the name of Freshmen, were ready to begin their sightfseeing tour the following September. Each one starting out in his Ford realized he had a long trip to take and many wonderful things to see and thoroughly understand. Miss Noblitt successfully guided them with the assistance of Lloyd Bowman, Thomas Stoneburner, and Ruth Vetter. They chugged along slowly at first, but after a few months they progressed at a fair rate of speed. After three months' rest the tourists again started out under the advanced name of Sophof mores. As they were traveling faster this year it was necessary to have a better car. So the Chevrof let was chosen. Miss Newman, Thomas Stone' burner, Ruth Vetter, and George Deems were givf en the responsibility of helping the motorists with their flat tires or dim lights. They also supplied plenty of amusement for them at a party on one evening of October. When the first half of the trip was finished, only a few had been left behind because of their automobile troubles or because they stayed too long to look at one object. When the sightfseers started out on the third part of their trip, the Junior year, it was necessary to get a still higher powered car, the Buick, They were able to get along so well that they had time for Miss Fisher, Thomas Stoneburner, Ruth Vetter, and June Deal to lead them in some outside activif ties. They first had a sociable time together en' joying plenty of good eats, music, entertainments and dancing. In their business meetings they agreed upon purchasing gold rings to be kept as souvenirs. In November they had great success in presenting the mysterious comedy, Square Crooks under the direction of Miss Sherman. The leading parts were cleverly acted by john Runden, Ferne Ruth Gurney, Margaret Kellner, and William Wal' lace. And in May they entertained the Seniors in a most novel fashion. Also in this year each of the tourists began to display his talents and to show a special interest in a certain line of work. For example music was ex' celled in by Edra Mae Meads, Ruth Weaver, and Phyllis Pontius: dramatic art, Ferne Ruth Gurney, Laura Ellen Williams and john Rundeng art, Wayne Becker and Betty Kerng athletics, Tom Stoneburner and Robert Bushongg and commercial work, Margaret Schreiber. Others were included in various other lines. When the time came for them to take their rest, two of them, Ferne Ruth Gurney and John Runden, continued their tour by winning scholarships from Northwestern School of Speech. During the Senior year, the travelers, distinf guished by their blue and white toboggan type caps, flew along in a Rolls Royce, missing none of the scenes. Mr. Howerton, john Runden, Robert Bushong, and june Deal were elected as leaders of the fiftyftwo girls and twentyfseven boys. Wayne Becker and Harriett Henney were also chosen as Boy and Girl Representatives on the Board of Con- trol and proved to be great help in such sports as mountain climbing. The class voted for the motto, 'kNot at the top, but climbing. The sweet pea be' came the class flower with blue and silver, class colors. One evening in December they began their social events with a Class Cabaret. They will be most remembered by the fact that they were the iirst in publishing the Kay Aitch Ess which has been out of existence for the last few years. Next followed their play, i'The Goose Hangs High which was presented at the Strand theater under the direction of Miss Robertson. In May they will be entertained at the JuniorfSenior banquet and also at a class picnic. In May the baccalaureate and commencement services will mark the end of the trip. Each one will be given a diploma with which to start a greater tour of the outside world.

Larry was the more serious character. He was Eddie's pal and in love with jane, an attractive girl who lived with Eddie and Kay. The play concerns the trials and tribulations of Eddie and Larry, reformed 'small crooks, who were accused by their enemy, Welch, the crooked detective, of stealing a string of pearls belonging to Mrs. Carston. Bridget O'Ro'.irke and her friend, the Irish cop, Tim, aid the two boys in the capture of the real crook in the story, Mike Ross, the ferocious killer. Sorrow and Lilly, negro maids, drift in and out of the play providing additional comedy. The entire play was packed with laughs, tears and thrills. The clever lines and subtle intrigue coupled with a well chosen, balanced cast made the play an outstanding success. Page 13
