Our journey was no'. half over, hut the road ahead looked rough, so once more wo appointed a new group of leaders, and moved on, for we had little time to waste. General Hodgskiss proved to he very capable of filling her position, with the aid of Major Frank, and Dorothy as Comptroller of Currency. he lingered along the way for a few days, watching and helping in the preparation of a big Carnival, on the final night of this big event, we climbed the glass hill, but failed to get the gol- den apple. It appeared as if our road from there on would be'quite rough, for we soon came to another hill. The Junior Play Hill. This hill was hard to climb, and it took quite a while to reach the top, even with Miss Henion pushing us on. But when we. did, the spectators cheered. With each step, we could see the Mountain of Knowledge come closer into our vision., in spite of the obstacles which still laid between us. Our first problem now was to cross the Prom Sea, which lay stretched before usc With much mental and physical work, we constructed the good ship Merry Cruiser, and sailed across the sea to the tune of Anchors Away, while the stars spark- led down upon us from the blue sky which God had given us. With this we had completed the third portion of our journey,and were ready for the last division. As was our usual habit before starting on a new quarter of our journey, we solor ted new lead- ers for the last long stretch of our journey. Mr. Rolston was appointed as ou.r General; Kitty became our Major; and Dot was our Comptroller of Currency. Our first task was to aid troop !34 in climb- ing the hill of Initiation. This was quite easy, and we considered it a pleasure rather than a task„ As we traveled on, we came upon another big Carnival. It was there that we learned a lesson which may prove to bo of great importance in the years to come--we learned that it doesn't pay to gamble i Our provisions were running low, so wo stopped on the Field of New Years Dance and raised funds to continue our journey. We h.; t the Senior Play Hill on a run and got ever it with no more trouble then can bo expected on such a climb. Thanks to Mr. Auld for the ease In which he got us over it.

CLASS HISTORY In September, 1937, troop ’41 came to the Big Sand3r High School and enlisted for a four year crusade to the Mo rr. tain of Knowledge. With ample courage, ambitico and provisions that trip was known to take four .years, so we armed ourselves with Patience and Lhthusiam and started out. We had taken only a few steps, when we came to the first obstacle in our way. This was the Hill of Initiation, small but important. We attacked it with determination and found that the simplicity of cli r-ing it gave us courage to cross over the Bridge of Acquaintance, which lead into the Desert of Trial.. Before starting into this desert, we decided it would be best to get together and become a bit more organized wo picked leaders to take charge of the first portion of our journey; Mr, Hoskinson was appointed General; Billy, Major; and Don, Com- ptroller of Currency, no chose red and white for our class colors, hoping God would aid us in being patriotic, and give us blue in the form of a blue sky under which we might Journey. Our leaders proved to be quite capable, and we really enjoyed crossing the Desert of Trial, in spite of the bumps which we met along the way. Three of our trocp , seeing the long climb ahead of them, fell our of line, or tiring, dropped by the wayside. When we looked back across the Desert of Trial, we were proud that we had comple i e Ji the trip this far with so little trouble, but we also looked back with pitying eyes at our three comrades who were just appearing over the horizon., and who, we are sure, were sorry they had dropped out of line. Since our leaders had done so well, we were sure they must be tired of leading, although they did not complain, so we placed the Load of Leader- ship on the backs of other members of our tro».p« Miss Stokan took the post of General; Don served as Major; and Champ, Comptroller of Currency. There was also a change of Commander in Chief this year; Mr. Skeie became oar new Commander in Chief, and Mr. Gillispie re ‘wired to the side lines. This second portion of our journey was quite smooth. Of course, we met v ith some hardships, the worst being the loss of our General, but Miss. Jauer soon came to our rescue and bravely lead us on. Along our way we foil into a bad rut--------the Atneletic Banquet Rut, but we applied our good friend, Ambition, and dug our way out.

We had one bridge to cross, and then we would have reached the goal towards which we had worked for the past four years, the Mountain of Knowledge. We hesitated for a while before crossing this bridge, but after giving it a more dignified name, we didn't mind crossing it; this was the Senior Day Bridge, formerly known as the Sneak Day Bridge. We have at last completed our journey, and as we look back we wonder how we survived to travel, across such a rough trail, but we are happy that we kept on, for ahead of us we can see the Mountain of Higher Knowledge, and slightly beyond that, the Sea of Happiness. So, now that our four year journey is up, we believe that it is with deserving hands that we accept our Banners of Diplomas which are a symble to show that we have completed this journey.
