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.

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 PROPHECY Good evening,-ladies and gentlemen. Today is the big day of all days. Pour years ago the World declared war on Mars and now it is all over- One week ago fighting stopped—very suddenly stopped when President Thomas A.. (Aristotle) Rolston and the Martian Ruler,. Orson X513,reached an agreement Iffcafc was a glorias day,a day that we forever will celebrate, ' . , T, . Ladies and Gentlemen, I don’t mean to be a wet blanket on such a joyous occasion as this, but X was merely telling you of our previous troubles. We are located on a specially constructed stand near the strato nlane take-off. Two days go President Rolston appointed a company of 24 dis- tinguished experts from every field of activity to leave for Mars in exchange for the same number who are now making a good will tour here, A cheer has arisen from the crowd—wait just a moment until I see what they are so excited a- bout. good Ladies and Gentlemen,the first member of that will party is coming,in fact, is here with a strato-plane. You guessed it, ne s Kenneth Robert- son, mine inventor-scientist, an old Yes sir, it was 10 years school buddy of ago that we gradu- hame most would that Ken- San- ated from Hi .h School there in that good old town. Big Sandy. Wo all knew that we were a remarkable class and that in a few years we all make our names household, words. Out of class there will be many going to Mars. Mr. neth Robertson and I will be on board when the dy Sorato leaves in less than half an hour.. There’s a roar from the crowd gathered hereto see the President of the United States who has flown from Washington D. C. to Kenilworth, Montana, the learning center of the world. And now the na- tional anthem for here comes President Rolston who is here ready for the trip to Mars. Two more have just arrived in a yellow auto- plane. Yes, thats right-Mr. Don Ccurtnage and his wif e-Helena Dixon C our triage and their young son- Cornelius Courtnage. Wo had better get aboard the strato-plane before they start for Mars or we 11 miss all the excitement of the landing on Mars. We ..ave been in the air for about a half hour now and I have had a chance to talk to several of the passengers. Amon them was Prof. Ray who thr- ough some strange accident discovered a way to
