As the prairie schooners of Education j ■ i; crawled slowly aleng the steep and winding ■■■%. )-J3 '- ? ils of Knowled ;c . the ■ found many handicans 'V.-to block their progress. 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.

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. Annie McLean
