We hope that, as you read this Anna 1 , you will bo able to picture all that the iradv Schools stand for an successful journey made by a Pioneer Caravan. i DEDICATION We have chosen The Pioneers a s the theme for our Annual and wish to dedicate our book to the oldest pioneer in.Brady, william 3111 Edmonds, and all ether early pioneers who located in this region. ■ Vco fev-W i fixLA 7 7 - . 1 ' • -Jr y -tiWV • ••• . w’ . „ , .1 -—■-....... f.v .’% V« .V-- • r' '. j. -v w ..

He knew that they were appreciating his efforts to explore new regions to which they could turn for better living. Likewise, we, the students of Brady School, would prob- ably have failed to overcome soma of the difficulties had there been no home folks (parents and other folks cf the community) to give us support. We knew, however before startin'- on that nine months trip, that there were the home folks all alone the trail who would gladly help us if we needed support. Their eagerness to assist us was shown when they supported our enter- tainments to the fullest possible extent. We were steered safely over the trail of Educa- tion’’ for the nine months by our teachers. Their ef- forts to guide us safely and avert danger was appreci- ated not only by us but by others who were not in the caravan. The teachers knew that the things they did to assist us would be considered correct by outsiders. We were determined to have the trip be a success when we saw that many people were interested in it. The home folks were always such that fires of determination, may have gotten off on the wrong trail one was ever injured either mentally a result. Those parents and other reactions of the they renewed our The caravan at times, but no or physically as people in the community, who were supporting the cara- van., probably did not like those small mistakes, never- theless, they knew we would regain the main trail very soon. Thus we have been able to feel just as warmly to- ward the home folks” as did Daniel Boone toward those he left behind when he v;ent to explore new regions. The trip proved interesting to us because many other people were interested in it also. Next year part of us will take up the trail from where we left off this year. We feel certain that the home folks will be as interested in our expedition as they were in the recent past. t THE ROAD BUIID. RS sidered what an important bearing this word has on the world. A bvilding would collapse in ruins if it did not have a foundation. To individuals a foundation for future progress is Foundation. Many people have not con- it U m n a. just as important as it is to the building. Fu- ture progress means much to everyone,since it involves their life. This, the road builders ro llzad and de- cided that in order for an individual to have success in later life, they must first have some kind of a foundation or they will collapse to nothing like the building. Men are devoting part of their lives to just this sort of thing. The best vay for anyone to reap the fruits of this labor is to join the caravans. Al- though many hardships in these caravans are encountered those participating reap many of the benefits of the country. ProMOting future progress is not the only thing that the road builders do. They make the progress easier for following caravans. Each new improvement that is made to a caravan is also profited by those to come. Better equipment is provided by the road builders. Caravans are at some time or another demanding some new improvement. Of course this tends to better the caravan. Think how difficult it would be for any caravan to progress without guides. This the thoughtful road builders foresaw and provided, being careful to select only the best ones. Still there is another individual who helps to make the progress easier. This person is known to the caravan as the locator. Each year,instead of one caravan to provide for,the road builders have two. The caravan that contains the more experienced individuals was christened the high caravan, while the other was named the low caravan . Each does not depend directly upon the other and are in a way independent of each other. However both car- avans must, the road builders say, have the same loca- tor, since they travel so closely together. To give the caravans a feeling of independence of each other, they are allo?;cd to have their own guides. For the high caravan, three guides arc provided and for the low caravan, four are provided. Esther Larsen I an curo that no dhief guide -.'f the pioneer cara- van of the past, frcr whom we have drawn our patterns for this book, mere thoroughly enjoyed th privileges and responsibilities of the position than l have done. The fine spirit of cooperation and loyalty of the home folks, the road bu-.Iders the guides, the locator, the chief organizer and ail .he other mombers of the caravan have been inspirations Which have projected us forward. It hr.s made our progress more evident. What- ever success, achievement end honor we may claim is due entirely to the spirit and effort of the entire member- ship of our group. If I have been successful in my at- J tempt to point out what I considered the best route to follow and to keep the aarawan moving steadily forward, then I am happy. May the members of the first wagon (the seniors) who are going on, have the best of luck and success in;.; .— -£ ‘ V V • W AA V � 1 b' «V over the rough spots ahead and in reaching their ropr pective locations without mishap.

Indians (mathematics) ambushed many pioneers, quicksand swamps, and f.s i .'d .,uSnClish) attempted to suck them dovn into its 'lonijr'� . mur y depths, but these seekers of knowledge were prepared for many obstacles and were safely conducted through the places of danger by the Guides, (teachers). Uith their kind, unselfish aid,the caravan moved I along smoothly. How much easier it was to win the many i hard fought battles when a helping hand was offered over thc rough places. Indeed the credit goes to those ever willing helpers--the Guides of the Brady caravan, Mr..Olron, Ilrs. Veseth, Mr. Nims, Mrs. Bartsch, Mrs. Crawford, Miss Hclly, and Mr. Slctten. On several occasions the caravan was reedy to riot or sccie battered schooner decided to turn back, but at the crucial moment the Guides appeared to restore poacc and order. Not infrequently these trail-breaking instructors ! found it essential to use physical force in order to . control some especially unruly member of the clan. The I old adages were then employed: such as, This hurts me 1 worse than it does you ; or better still, YThen you are | old you will look back and thank me for this” -— and -----perhaps they v;ero right. A word of encouragement can work wonders. And thus it was that the caravan usually remained in good i spirits, for the leaders who guided thorn never were too busy to give some laging pioneer a fow cheery words, that sent him on his way with renewed determin- j ation. And so it is that as each schooner reaches its destination the members look back over that long and treacherous trail and wonder how they could have gotten !j along without those patient helpers. Never before did it occur to them, the numerous things their guides had taught them outside of books: ; cooperation, honesty, thrift, trustworthiness and countless other qualities, which would prove price- less on that other, longer journey through life. As the Brady caravan halted for rest in the ■ spring of 1935, its members thought how true it was that A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed , and felt immensely I grateful to those wonderful helpers who they wore so fortunate to havc--thcir guides—the teachers. Isabel McClintock 1 I. THE L Or ATOP The locator on our caravan journey was none other than I'r. Charles Garner, or Charlie to every- one .Every person depended on hr. Garner for help if the person were in trouble or had lost anything in- cluding himself. In fog, rain, sleet, or snow when none knew where to go, Charlie f o un d and cleared the paths for them. Besides this he always kept everything spic and span. He always seemed to be happy and wont about his work willingly. He is now a very experienced hand at this sort of job for he has served faithfully for several years.

Basket- ball was especially enjoyed. Dramatics and glee club both played an important part in keeping us inter' osted in our daily tasks. As we look back and remember our many fights and struggles, we say to ourselves: I’m surely glad we don’t have to go through that again. But after all, school life wouldn’t be what it is if it ran as smoothly as a train upon a track. We put forth cour- age to meet these difficulties and in the end hoped to be the winners. Several times our wagon broke down because the load was too heavy. After consulting a blachsmith {teacher)we were soon loaded up again and on our way Everything was running smoothly for a while when the horses ran away and left the drivers behind They soon returned however and that event went down into history as Sneak Day on Friday, May 13. It caused a great deal of excitement and for punishment the horses were required to work longer hours for a week to make up for lost time. Tho lost four years of our journey wore the most difficult and the most pleasant.

But cany tragedies occurred to these nest.lings.Seme were taken to another heme by their parents while others fell out of the rest. So duo to ataasroU3 casualties,there were soon but six nest- lings left of the twelve. Then one dey the fledglings said: Now that our wings are strong enough, we will fly away,” But they jacked courage to leave their home, when they cb served the rugged crags below.They had to leave though t.c that room could be provided for those young- er. weaker biros who sought admittance. Then, as they were forced from their nest,they found that the task of flying wasn't as hard as they had anticipated. Dear friends ana teachers,the members of this class feci that we are quite inexperienced for the tasks ly- ing before us. But the time for departure is near; like the birds, we must leave this nest so that room may be provided for those younger fledglings who wish to enter. Wo shall be uncertain and bewildered when first we at- tempt to use our wings”; but experience and practice make a master; so, as wc follow our course of flight, wc will grow more certain of our definite purpose upon this flight. Indeed it is with sincere gratitude and untold ap- preciation that we know that, as wc start upon tnis journey into the future, you loyal friends and faith- ful teachers have gathered here to witness our final de- parture. And now as a class wc wish to thank the school- board, our teachers, friends, and schoolmates a thou- sand fold for the tireless and patient assistance, and encouragcrrcnt you have rendered us in attaining this first great milepost in our lives. As wc linger for but a few moments longer we think of the numerous occasions when wo have boon able to be among you. Although we are bidding you good-bye as a class, wo sincerely hope that this shall not be our final nx-cting and that we will be able to mingle among you oftc.i in the future. So tonight, although wc arc j taking this final atop which will dismiss us from high i school life,we think not only of the fond recollections which your faces bring back to us but wc also look for- ward to many enjoyable and happy hours which wc hope to -=i spend among you -Isabel McfZliatock CLASS WILL T A scout from the Junior Class caravan drew his horse to a sudden halt, leaped from the saddle and picked up the oddly shaped box that lay in the dusty trail. He hurried back to his comrades where the box was pried open. A paper had been found bearing the will of the pioneers from the 1935 wagon. As leader of the frontiersmen, Lelah Hill read the crudely written document. Taking the paper closer' to the light cf the campfire, she began: eavins to you, our successors, who find we are missile, these To the Brady valuables: High Schooner horses, Mrs this we give our three Vcseth.Mr. Nims and Mr. Olson,who faithful- ly served us. For them is some hay to be found in the waste basket in the form of torn bits of final examina- tions mixed with gum. (You may find it rather difficult to lasso them to put them back in the traces after their vacation during the summer of 1535.) Occupants of the supply wagon, The Board of Educa- tion, we leave a well-worn prairie schooner to you which you may give with repairs to Mr. Garner to fix. In the furniture-weaving room, Mary Johnson will find inspiration left for her in work done by Loretta Weikum. Jim Stinson leaves his light typing touch to Werner Gollehon. (With this ability,'Werner should be able to accomplish two years of typing in one.) Label Mowbray wills Beverly Underdahl her gum, which she will find under her writing desk in the old schooner. Marion Lockhart bestows upon Maxine Peterson the stinging lash which Marion frequently wields upon the horses. Maxine, beware: Some arguments are fatal. Harold Monson,we wish you to set the caravan walls ringing with your yodeling.which ability is handed down to you from Eldon Garner. Enclosed Dorothy Dyer will find what remains of a I sadly depleted box of tacks left by Isabel McClintoek. Along with the box are instructions for using these , without detection. Hoping that you may profit by our expcrier.ccs,the trailbreakers of '35 wish you luck and say- ’AdicsT Isabel Marion McClintoek Lockhart LTSR3 AT LAST ’‘CLimb, th tjp T: J v 5 rocks be rugged, was oh of cn repeated motto of the eleven 4 « r -v pioneers who made up ■‘ he caravan that was to ascend that great plain of intelligence. When Was'truj itoV in the caravan started that fall of '31 .Professor wtHinnn. Feterson did the bulk of the pulling. The other herses, Mr. Brown and Mrs. Anderson.being only ponies would kick back at us when we bombarded with our inno- cent wny s. Peterson caused the most trouble, for he would keep balking until we found the right River of Algebra. Evelyn Miller did the driving and Kenneth Boggs guarded the van, for he was the fleetest runner. After a three-months stop to recuperate,we start- ed up the trail agaHn. This time Kenneth did the drivinc. He did not have the support of Evelyn or Lawrence Alzheimer for they had left us. The new four- horse tear, that Kenneth was holding onto was Professor Olson, small, but my, what a puller he turned out to be; Kuntsberger and Rose(if I should write down -Prove it'1 as many times as the latter said it, I should have about ten volumes); and Ray ITims. 77hen we started the second part of our journey, Isabel, Mabel, Jim, and Eldon too’' up athletics as their hobby. We crossed many treacherous rivers, alkali beds and quick sands before we stopped for our second rest, but the strain began to tell; for,when we resu-ed our journey, Clay- ton C-arner, Leader Kenneth Bogrs, and Marion Lockhart were not in the wagon. As the load was small and the horses used to pu‘1- ing us,we went along well with Jim Stinson holding the reins. Me stopped to entertain a fort full of laughing people, with a home-talent play, and let them dance a while afte wards. Me went on a little excursion to get some trees so that we could hold our grand pow-row,The Promemade, with great success. One day the horses found nobody in the wagon, so they pull .d longer for the next five days to make up for that one lost day, when we sneaked away from work. After our third and final rest, we found Marion with us again when we started with about the same team. Marion immediately took over the driving job. V ith the help of the Junior Class Caravan, who sent funds to aid us, we bought a new mimeograph to edit a paper tolling of our experiences. As a symbol of our success in accomplishing the trip,we bought rin- s on which was printed the year our lone drive ended. James Stinson h ____—CLASS .PRr.PHF.flY------------------------ It was a lovely spring evening in 193R. With the growing darkness, a campfire ap- peared along the dusty mountain trail, and a group of weary travel-worn pioneers sat about It resting. Suddenly came the sound of hoof beats. The tranger who alighted near the group looked fa- Imbitar to the travelers. Then someone gasped, Why if Moisn’t Eldon Garner. Y here have you been keeping yourself? ’’Oh, replied Eldon, Eorest Rcnrer work keeps a fellow pretty busy. I wouldn't have stopped, but I thought I'd tell you to be sure to put that fire out before you leave. ’ Hanger life had dealt badly with Eldon, for he had become a cross, fiery-tempered bachelor, but the group prevailed upon him,to tell them about the rest of his classmates. Eldon sat back,smoking his Dipe and began: ’’Back in 1936, Mabel Mowbray got a notion that Hollywood was the place for her. She was successful from the beginning and we heard that she had been ac- cepted in a play cast. Well, the first time she set eyes cn the director, she proposed to him--it was leap i year--and of course he accepted, and they wont to Europe. That reminds me, Isabel McClintock took a trip to Asia to get material for a book and midway in the ocean the ship sank. She crawled into a life boat and was washed ashore in China. Hsng-Foo 3 pirates swooped down and started to carry her away to the mountains,but they became disgusted and threw her over a canyon. She fell in the river below and escaped. Now she is writing ' a book called 'The Beauties of Asia'. But I ;ot the surprise of my life when I went to the circus. There in a cage was Jim Stinson Above it was the sign 'Wild Man from Borneo’. 1 walked up and said ’Hello, Jim,’ but he gave a warning lock,roared at me and shook the bars of the cage. Jell, I was reading a magazine and there was Morion L-ckhart's picture. She had been awarded the title of champion woman ski- jumper but she ’ski-jumped’ right into some million- aire’s arms and that was that. And Loretta Y'eikum, they say she simply can’t bo be3t at stenographic work—so good, in fact, that she can make the keys melt off the typei riter. One day her heart melted off for tho em- ployer’s son and that was the end of another career. Well, said Eldon jumping to his feet, I’ve got to be going. Don’t forget to put out that fire. And 1 with that he galloped down tho trail. Isabel McClintock fop,; Pios 'TT B or B' Hior school 1932 tf zjhmb v 4 n a Clara Alzheimer.. Teaching, near Collins.

Heading our caravan was Dorothy, our leader, and Annie, Junior, and Mildred, our teamsters. We dyeing in hired Mr. Kims to guide us through the waste lands of the East. Our scouts gave us valuable assistance. They were Dorothy, Frances, Annie, and Mildred. , The journey was easy at first but as we traveled onward it became harder and rougher. We had become accustomed to the hard grind and decided to go on, but two of our members, Stanley and Ruby, quit and turned back. During the trip we followed the faculty river for many miles and many times had to go there for water or to ward off Indians. After we had traveled quite a while, we came to a large, wide river (sem. exams) and several were pulled under by the swift currents. When we reached the other side, we breathed a sigh of relief. Those on the bos- ket ball teams and in the glee club started in again with renewed energy. We had not been bothered much by Indians yet; but soon we encountered a tribe by the name of Final Exams and several were unable to continue the journey with us after that. This was such a severe attack that we rest- ed a while during the summer, before proceeding on our i way. „ . When we started our journey again, Dorothy was 1 still our leader and Frances, Annie, and Mildred were our teamsters. It was hard going for a while,but with the aid of our guide, Mr. Sletten, we overcame many hardships. ' For amusements mound the campfire, we played bas- i ketball, baseball, and volley ball and had a glee club and a dramatic club. Several took part in these activ- • ities� Soon after starting we had war with the Indiarfs, and several of our members were killed or carried of.. They were Hilda Trost, William Wikstrom, Junior Water- man', ‘and Ruben Keller. We were sorry to lose these helpers but calamities can’t be avoided on a trip of this sort. .... It is nearing vacation time again and we are still on our journey to our new home (diploma). So far we have covered only half the trail; but we have a lot to I learn yet, so we will continue onward.

NC ' row ur :. ou of prairie schoonero, their whits tops glistening in the sun, are arranged in wile semicircles. Oxen Was ! n« 5oV m graze quietly on the nearby expanse of prairie. Heijnnn. The preceding period has been an arduous one. No ij two expeditions setting out on this largely unknown trail have been confronted by the same dangers or experienced similar hardships. These Whanging conditions have been given careful consideration in the choosing of equipment and in the training of the prospective pioneers who ere feeing forward with little knowledge of the future but with a fino courage for what it may bring. This gathering of equipment and tools,the necessary arranging into efficient form, and the training of those who have joined the pioneer expedition have of necessity been under the guidance of camp supervisors. New in loading up, as tho final stage before the start of the journey, counsel must be ready to point out mistakes and offer advice. But this must be done in a cooperative spirit. The members of the band of adventurers must make many decisions of their own. They may not always be wise ones, but out in the uncharted wilderness the demands are going to be heavy on initiative.porserverance, and self- reliance in the face of rapidly changing forces. Y e know that the supplies we place in the strongly- ribbed boxes of those prairie schooners are far from adequate for the privations of either the journey or the task of carving out an abode once we arrive at our des- tination. Much of the material will develop fault and numerous repairs will be necessary along the route. By far the greater part of our subsistence will be gained enroute and at the scene of settlement. But this does not lessen the importance of our present prepara- tions. Rather it increases the demands upon our labors. There will be no opportunity to take advantage of that which the country along our path has to offer unless we place in the caravan those tools and utensils which will aid greatly in accepting the offerings of the plains and mountains. And so wc optimistically fill our vehicles of trav- el. If wc take'along a fair measure of the previously mentioned qualities, self-relianc-, initiative and per- severance, so that we may adapt to use our other tools, wo have loaded up well. .

After talking over the matter carefully we decided to fol- low the advice of Kit Carson, Daniel Boone and other pioneers whom we encountered in the fifth grade, and inspect everything before we set out on our hazardous trip to High School L ncl. We had heard much of the difficulties before us and re- solved to prepare as thoroughly as ossiblu for then. The arithmetic wagon was greased; the wheels --ad- dition, subtriction, aultiplication, and division--wcro strengthened by much drill and review. I order that the wagon might not be too heavy, fractions were ro- duc d, decimals mastered and percentage was made as easy as possible, though it proved a difficult task at best. One evening, while resting from our labors, we were sitting around the camp fire singing Wagon Tvheels and other trail songs. These stirring old tunes gave us groat courage and called to mind picturos of other pioneers who had braved the tr-.il before us. As the music died do. n, a -’ar whoop rang out and a band of In- dians surrounded us. Aft r a brief skirmish our trusty wcapcns--history, spoiling, and reading—proved super- ior to the pfiffiltiiro equipment of the Indians and they retreated. In the morning, we found soma damago had � 60110 by this encounter. The language wagon had su. ored particularly and was strengthened by adding eight parts of speech, and a few phrases and clauses wore put in as braces. T fe ware determined to be prepared for the dif- ficult English bogs which lay ahead. Our trusty weapons, history, spoiling, and reeding were cioanod and oiled a goosgraphy cannon was made ready for immediato action, and 3 hygiene hit peeked in case of accident or illness. T: us wo did What we could to have everything in readiness. All of our tine, however was not spent in labor; we celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays in true pioneer spirit. Our v7ork was lighten- ed by games, son s and stories and the faint h- art d cheered along by the thoughts of the promised Hign School Land through which we should soon bo journeying. i ■Mf 1 v f 3RD. 4TK GRADES Mof T i r q „ I 1 I BACK ROY (Left to right): Villari Schlepp, Kenneth Otness, Thomas Row, George Ellingson, Arthur Rouns, Jackie Kauk.

The story of the search for a more satisfactory life attracted many in the group, and they. decided that they, t{5©,would like to join a caravan. There were ten pioneers who gathered together to equip themselves for the ride into the place where they could sign up for the westward trek. They were: Irene Styren, Eugene Styren, Joyce Lockhart, Bearll Joseph, Della Joseph, Clara Hall, Dorothy Hall, James Hall and. Ruby Hall. Their ages ranged from six to fifteen years. When Mrs. Lockhart joined them, they enlisted her help as supervisor and spent long hours in study to I prepare them for their future journey. To some, the work on different subjects seemed f u-j tile. They couldn't see that all of the studies would! help them in their later life. Those who do their best to be able to join the high school caravan will find j that arithmetic, spelling, grammar, etc., will prove 'helpful in the long, hard grind. After the destination1! is reached,each pioneer will see how every bit of added 1 ' knowledge helped to make the trip easier. ; The future trail-breakers found pleasure in sing-j ing, drawing, painting and playing outdoor games. They): , organized a Good Citizen's Club . They felt'this would'] |. help them in their duties to their country. At Christ-j mas time and on Washington and Lincoln's birthdays, theyj gave programs. They had a party nearly every month to |! celebrate the birthdays of the Rock Coulee Pioneers and j' ii to celebrate Hallowe'en and Thar.ksgiving. ji One pioneer,. Bearll Joseph, who started the prep- i aration to reach Point Graduation, left to take up a different occupation. The number of immigrants remained ' the same, however, because Irma Weist joined those at (' Rock Coulee. Ruby Hall has progressed farthest on the trail.

PIONEER ACTIVITIES Life during the long journey has not been entirely work, for many hours have been spent in fun and rest. It has been these occasional 'v ' departures from everyday routine that have made n ■ the long road seem attractive and full of prom- ises. Of course not every one was capable of en- tering into every activity in which the caravan engaged, ; but each one took some part in assisting with the en- tertainments . Not one traveler in the group was exempt from the enthusiasm for basketball when that sport overtook the caravan like a thunderstorm. What the teams lacked in ability they certainly more than accounted for in the pep and general excitement they exhibited on the days when it was in full swing. Often, small groups would 1 journey to neighboring caravans to participate in a game and those short trips still lin rcr in their memories as containing some of t eir most happy experiences. Not all of the entertainment involved such stren- uous physical action, however. Among the immigrants were a few gifted with abilities rivaling Charlie Chap- lin or Mary Pickford. It took much practice but the strong-hearted actors and actresses spared no effort to do their best in providing a worth while piece of drama for those not so fortunate as themselves. The fresh air seemed a great help in developing 1 the lungs of a few of the girls, and the result was a glee club which frequently exhibited its talents at the meetings of the group. Several times they were fortunate enough to have outside entertainers come to the campfire to center their interests on a more cultured background with vio- lins, paintings, lectures, etc. To these performances, settlers of the sparsely inhabited regions surrounding ■ I the campod wagons, were invited. Entertainments of tit i nature wore few in those regions,so they wore of course welcomed whole-heartedly. The largest and most beautiful celebration of the entire journey was given in honor of the few who would bo the first to leave the Caravan for a higher type of work. Many friends cf the wearied travelers attended j this night of fun and frolic and instilled into the I caravan enough endurance to complete the journey with i hi ;n ideals and hoocs.

On September 28.. we had cur first frolic. Our newer neuters were not used to the evn.p- ment and baggage we carried. V e helped them stock up with plenty of good sportsmanship,coop- eration and self-reliance. After this breaking into” the code of school life, they fell in as full fledged caravaners. On October 19, we once more camped. The purpose of this was to raise barter to buy ammunition (basket- ball supplies) for the coming wars with opposing tribes. We held a regular war dance (carnival) for friendly purposes. Our wagon members gave a hoedov.n for the grade caravan,which had won the contest for selling Prairie Schooner Monthly (Spotlight). We ate chow and enter- tained them in a grand way. Some of our senior trail-breakers struck the dram- atics trail. TTe were well pleased with the result, for ■ Husband for Sale was presented, November 25. On December 19, Santa Claus found us snowed under. On April 18 we stopped at Fort Hollywood while the |j Juniors gave the play Wait for Me . All this year we had not been only covering Men- tality Mountains, but ve invited the road builders, scouts, and friends to see our accomplishments, on Ap- ril 25,(Activity Night). The Indian fighters were giv- J en feathers (letters) for warding off the Indian at- tacks (sports). Some exhibited and demonstrated chicken , scratches (type'ltabtfcd) and the Orarks(biology). The Caravan Crooners gnve the people some of their trail songs. Nightingp.le(IIrs, Voscth) had trained them since 1 Christmas. The greatest campfire frolic (Junior Prom) of the {, year was given on May 11. The fiddles were tuned and fast pony expresses sent invitations to other caravans. All helped to entertain the Trail 3real:ers. Prairie scenes had become tiresome sc the Juniors gave us a Holland atmosphere. The entire caravan cast off burdens of the journey I, on May 17.A gala day with much feasting and merrymaking ( was held. The last roundup was held May 24. The Trail Breakers had Toacbcd Diploma Carbon.
