THE BETH ANN UAL : 193 1 - History (As We've Made It) In the year of 1827, about thirty pioneers started out for the West in a covered wagon. The grass was green, flowers were blooming, birds were singing. Everything was fresh and green. Enthusiasm permeated the group from the very beginning. In the driver’s seat sat Bror Lundgrcn who had been chosen by the other pioneers as driver of the covered wagon. At his side sat Miss Frances May Anderson, who acted as a guide to the company and adviser to the driver. Ann Anderson was the journalist and Aleck Olson took care of the financial end. The trail became more strange as they journeyed along. In the distance, oftentimes. they could see what appeared to he insurmountable hills. But, as their horses were strong and persevering, they managed to reach the summits. But it was not all struggles. They spent several social times together and became better acquainted. The trail led them to a trading post where they stopped and sold a great many copies of a certain book they were selling. For this they received a reward. (Beth-annua! Sales Contest.) After leaving the trading post they journeyed on until they came to a small settlement. Here they decided to stop for a few days of recreation. When they resumed their journey, they found to their disappointment that some of their members were not continuing their journey. But they were very happy to find that others had joined them. Although the first driver had been very efficient, the group thought it well to relieve her of the responsibility and Ann Anderson was given this position. 1'his time Miss Margaret Dahlen consented to be their guide. Della Skooglund was financier and Ann Anderson was also journalist. The days began to lengthen as they proceeded on their way. The verdure and freshness of spring developed into the beauty and richness of summer. After having journeyed on for many more miles, they became weary of the journey and felt the need of a hit of recreation. So they let their horses graze while they enjoyed a period of social gaiety. (Sophomore Automobile Party.) They resumed their journey feeling much refreshed. They met many difficulties hut these they surmounted and began to feci greater confidence in themselves. On and on they traveled. They had just climbed one hill when they came upon a settlement. Here they stopped for a short time and enjoyed the hospitality of these people very much. But they were urged on by the call of the “West.” T hirty-one
