,g 'l'H11Z-IOURNHY HE Senior class started on its journey in the year of nineteen hundred and eighteen. It is not remembered how many ignorant Freshies, as we were then, clambered into the motor which was to carry us to our des- tination. We took some Algebra sandwiches, some English salad, on which some had Latin and others French dressing. And then, too, there was a mixture of M. T., D. S., and P. G. soft drinks. We had been traveling for almost twelve weeks, when some of our com- panions who had been fasting for quite a while suddenly became possessed with a desire to devour some of the sandwiches. The poor creatures partook of this so ravenously that a great many of them were choked. For quite a while they languished, until we were compelled to leave them by the wayside with many tears and regrets. When we reached the half-way mark we stopped for a day or two, to take an account of all we had con- sumed. Some had not consumed enough, and as a result they were now in the dim distance. We started again on our journey with the remaining food. Although we were enjoying ourselves immensely, we were hoping to arrive at our first stopping place soon. On this last half of our trip, some of our com- pany got strangled on the soft drinks with which we had supplied ourselves. Some of them recovered, while some of them did not. Finally we came to a pleasant shady spot where there were all kinds of equipment for enjoyment. It was here that we unpacked and prepared to spend an enjoyable vacation which lasted three months. Here we played and enjoyed ourselves to the utmost, dreading to think of the continuance of our trip. At last we assembled preparatory to traveling. There were a few new ones added to our Hcollectionn who soon became our fast friends. On this trip we, of course, had to have sandwiches, so we continued to use the old kind, and 'most everyone liked the salad and dressing, so we again took that. Those who had taken the soft drinks now took either Botany or History sweets. On this journey we did not have so much bad luck as before. When we arrived at the half-way mark there were several more people waiting for admittance to our jolly crowd. As usual these soon proved themselves true comrades. We at last reached another place where summer seemed to be Written on everything. We joyfully started on another three months' rest. Of 8
