enior ada .jfhdforg .Back in 11-1, 1944 that is. our little old wagon started rollin' across the Great Plains of the Grade School. The lone man with the whip was Black Den Kelleher. He had a little trouble winging the blacksnake. so he paused in Harrisburg to get Hays. Those two held their grip on the handle 'til the end of the safari. The going got a little rough in the jungles of modern education, so scouts Eichelbaum. Davis. Mitchell and Bunyan hopped on. At the next stop. they put some new spokes in the Wheels with Neal, Stuart, Peniston, Byers. Pettyjohn, Reid and XVaters. W'e ran short on good horses, so we gladly incor- porated Baggus, Beasley, Cook, jones, Santos and Roberts. The boss stopped for a smoke while Meads. Van Dobben and Lott piled in. lt got lpretty windy in the High School Mountains and we had to put the cover on The Carsonian 1952 with Akers, Carter, Diller. Graves, Kneeland, Laflin. Levy. Maloney. Stammer. Trease, Urbach and XVebster. XVaters was a little thirsty so he stayed over tor a year to get a drink. As we started down the grade of the four mighty mountains. we needed some extra clamps on the top, so Dutcher, Fredrick. Howes and Rosenberg whipped in to put the schooner in final form. YVe have now completed the first im- portant leg of our journey into life. where the other trails lead is now our future. XVhen we started. gasoline and coal were our fuelsg as we are ready to go on, we are now equipped with the latest jets and atomic power. VVe feel sure that we are better men than when we started and will hit the tape with strong hearts and faith as real Amer- icans should. SENIOR CLASS HISTORIAN 13

It is a foregone conclusion that each and every one of us who is graduating here today will serve, at some time or another, a hitch in one of Uncle Sanfs branches of service. Each of us who is sound in mind and body has this either to look forward to-or to dread. W'hy dread the inevitable? We who have matriculated here on the campus of Carson Long, and who are today receiving our diplo- mas, have many advantages over the public-school boy who is graduating today, The average public high-school student is living at home with his parents knowing that he can always depend upon them in a pinch , He does his school work in a confused state of mind-wondering which is more important, his history or taking out his girl. That boy, when Uncle Sam calls him to duty, is going to find it hard to break his family ties. Mother 1-1 MILITARY EDUCATION will not be there to iron the shirts or darn the socks. Father will not be there to make up a deficit which might occur in the few days prior to pay-day. He will immediately be subjected to military discipline from superior officers and his physical strength may be tried beyond its bounds. He is apt to become bitter and thus warp his entire military career. He who are graduates from Carson Long, know the meaning of regimentationg we know our General Orders, we have mastered the art of carrying small weapons: and we have also engaged in mock battles. These are only a few things which we have acquired in addition to our regular studies. NVe are prepared for Uncle Sam's call to service-prepared to give him the best, because we are from an institution which has a fine military standing. I, as an individual, can only be humbly grateful to my father, who, after reading about this school, said, That's the school for you, Son. The C arsonria n 1952
