We were given a sending off party by our friends of higher standing. Thinking the road was rather new to us, they gave us a few instructions. We took them in good part but determined to show them we weren't as inexperienced as they thought. That party was one we shall never forget. Being quite embarrass- ing at first--as well might be an intro- duction to the faculty and school board--it made us lose our dignity and self-controlg but as soon as the dancing began, our poise returned and the evening was enjoyably spent. Our first year of traveling went quite smoothly, with no accidents but plenty of thrills. However, before our first year of traveling was over we had lost eight members. One of the best athletes A. C. I. has ever known starred in basket-ball this year. This was Billy Blanchard. Our group was certainly proud of him. Not only the boys but girls as well were success- ful. Maxine Rand made a name for herself which has lasted through the years, and which will last for many more to come. Sports weren't our only specialty, for we made a very good showing in student council, editorial board, and educational lines. This established quite arecord for such a group, new to the why's and wherefore's. During our second year, the road was much smoother and We became more accustomed to the routine. Dur- ing this year, Quentin Niles was added to our number. More of our crowd was represented in sports. Blanchard, Whitten, and Hotham became the leaders of boys, basket-ball and base- ball: Rand and Huntington held up the girls' team, and Lello became known as our outstanding track man. This was also the year for our class to enter a new field--debating. Helen McCrea started this and made a very good record for being a remarkable debater. Our third year we started off with a bang with 52 still in our party, and we went through in high. We gave an exhibition which surpassed any given before or since. Five girls and five boys were chosen to illustrate their oratorical ability, which Was displayed to a great advantage. Our class was depended upon for girls and boys .to prolong the road of sports. At this time a large number was added to both girls' and boys' basket-ball teams. Much progress was made on track and winter sports by our talented group. This year we lost Lucille Shaw, James Young, Zella Chase, and several more of our classmates and added Amy Huntington and Edwin McPher- son to our number. Finally came the last stretch---but by far the best of our trip. A few more of our comrades sought new roads, these being: Victor Giberson, Della Corey, an d Wendell Smith. Also Quentin Niles, who had been with us only two years. decided on a new route which led him to Presque Isle High School. We missed them a great deal, but realized that it had to be. Let us not look at the sad side of it, but turn to the right, and geta glimpse of the happy side. We added to our number, this year, Harold MacDonald. The outstanding athletes in basket- ball were: Rees, who was considered our best, Whitten, Blanchard, McPher- son, Tompkins, and Hotham. It is well to note that this year all except three of the first nine men were from our group. Under the guidance of Mr. Clark, these boys made a showing
