In the years of 'M5 and 'U6 our group of eighteen made were carried through the Freshman Desert guided by H0- DUI' camel drivers ltggchersl, we were not caught in the sand storm of initiation as were many unlucky travelers before us, because our leader, Mr. Smart, took the precaution to avoid this difficulty. When we reached an inviting oasis. Ervin Buechler stopped off and did not rejoin the caravan. Seventeen travelers were happy when they reached the edge of Freshman Desert and gazed out upon Sophomore Plains where they were to continue their journey, At the city of Saddle Creek where we were outfitting ourselves for the trip over Sophomore Plains, a strange horse back rider galloped up and joined us. Shirley Delker traveled all the way across the plains with us. Loretta Miller enjoyed the educational opportunities of Saddle Creek so much that she stayed behind. The trip through the plains was a little more exciting than the last year's trip. About the middle of the year Delores Laesle left our party. As we came to the end of Sophomore Plains, Adeline Fleck was badly injured in an accident which left us with only fifteen to see the journey through. Looking ahead we anticipated the exciting trip over the Junior Mountains. We rested a week at Layzee Inn while our mules were being prepared for our trip over the Junior Mountains. The first lap of our journey went along smoothly. After travels ing about two and one half months we stopped at Play Inn. At this Inn we were asked to present a play. -The play we chose to give was UGrandad Meets a Paln. We enjoyed prac- ticing for this play very much and finally presented it on December ll. The journey was continued on through the Jun- ior Mountains with Bill Dockter as a new companion in our pack train. Proceeding on our way we came upon Clase Rock were we discovered some graduation rings for which we had searched diligently. Happily we went on our journey. Soon we started planning a feast and dance in honor of those who had struggled through the excitement of the rough Junior Mountains before us. It was a wonderful evening on May 13 when we danced to the music of Ray Palmer under the wide, blue, starry sky with a big romantic moon shining above us. This Gypsy Scene included a wishing well and a brightly burning fire. So we ended our journey over the Junior Mountains. We decided to get rid of the mules and clambered aboard a bus in which we drove into Senior City. We decided to stop at the Hollywood Studios to have pictures taken of our- selves, islxteen glamorous Seniors of coursel. Going on through the exciting city we stopped at the Little Theatre off Times Square and presented a comical play, NThe Awkward Pausen. we took our last bows and left the little theatre x to see the other sights in store for us. Sometime later the Illustrated Press called and told us to pick up our an- nouncements, which reminded us that we were nearing the end of our tour. . After being entertained at a banquet and prom by the Jun1ors3 we came to the very end of our journey were we be- held a beautiful scene. It was a street decorated in laven- der and white. Stretched across the street was a banner on which were lettered the words, nLove, labor, and 1augh.U AB we passed the city limits of Senior City, we paused and turned for a last lingering look at our wonderful high school days. x e.
