i.11 7 course it did not last nearly as long as we wished, but after all we were ready to continue our trip with all our friends. Some of them had wan- dered away during those three months and some others had come to take their places. This time we took some kind of sandwiches which were cut into squares, circles, parallelograms and every conceivable shape. I was told that Geo. Metry had invented them and was now receiving a roy- alty. I didn't like them at all and said so, but it was either that or nothing so I took that! The same kind of salad was prescribed, also dressing, but this time some of us took History sweets again while others took some Typewriting muffins. These were always so hot that we had to use Short hand gloves to pick them up. This part of the trip was a huge success, we thought, for near the end we had the privilege of organizing. We elected a President and everything that goes with an organized body. And oh-yes! We had a sponsor. You know that was the person who guided our vehicle. Of course after nine months of traveling we naturally were eager for another three months of diversion. Needless to say we enjoyed ourselves, and needless to say we were rather sorry when the time came for us to begin on our home stretch. We took about the same eats as on the previous trip, although some of us left the dressing off the salad. This part of the travel was one grand and glorious affair. We were riding smoothly near the last half-way mark when-BANG-went an awful noise! We looked back and there was a dark monstrous object lying directly in our path. On it was written the word Physics! At that jolt we lost several of our members. As we were crowded we left them there to be picked up by another car. The most of us passed the half-way mark safely for which we congratulated ourselves. It was on the last half of this journey that we stopped long enough at a Basket-ball tournament to sell two hundred and ten dozens of liskimo Pies and seven hundred sandwiches. How tired we were! When we were very, very near the end of our journey we all dressed up and attended a special kind of sermon. Then a little while later we dressed up again and went through a lot of marching and singing and then we were said to have graduated And now everybody's everywhere! I wonder if we'll ever see them all together again! My! I hope so! Some of us are going to start on another trip! We all hope we'll have as much fun on that as we had on the other!! !! 9

,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
