5' 33'-'! n !Fl'fl'! The Class of 1920 By ELDRA Sorinzk N 1916 we boarded the vessel HKnowledge , for a trip to Higher Educa- tion . WVhen we started on the trip there were about forty in our party. llie were a very lively crowd and were welcomed by those on board. For amusement we had both indoor and outdoor games, in which the different members of our party participated. One of our stalwart young men, who did not care to take part in the outdoor activities, was appointed to lead the passengers in their yells. Later in the year our members tool-Q part in the programs of the literary Society. Our first stop was at Sophomore where a few of our members landed. Those who continued on the trip possessed brilliant minds, and several entered contests in which they were victorious. The girls were active in athletics and had the win- ning team of basketball on board the vessel. During the winter season we took part in The Pennantu, a musical play which met with success. As we were nearing Junior our vessel was wrecked on the island of Yearly lpxaminations and many of our members were lo-st. Those remaining enjoyed a very successful yearly trip however, and one of our members won the highest honors afforded in the declamatory contest. In order to create a little excitement our party gave a play The Family Affairu, which proved to be very successful. During the Liberty Loan Drive three of our members received Liberty Loan but- tons in reward for their speeches. 'lust before reaching Senior, our party gave a banquet to the crew and those who were nearing their journey's end. After the feast and toasts we went to the salon where dancing was enjoyed for the rest of the evening. After our short rest at Senior we started out with a new captain and a few new mates. We also had two members added to our party. VVe were sailing along nicely, taking part in many activities on board ship and proud of our two football stars when Cupid caught one of them, which resulted in the captain letting him off at the Isle of Matrimony. .Xs we are nearing the end of our journey we wish all on board a smooth sea for the rest of their trip.
