in 180 Days We progressed on our established route during the late winter and early spring days, stopping at many places of interest, attending plays, banquets, and games, after the business of the day was finished We again organized teams for literary matters as well as for sports and entered into competition with others, having joined a league called The Inter- scholastic League. Winning many honors, we did not realize how the days were speeding by, until suddenly Spring appeared and there was the final phase of our trip facing us. This part was undertaken joyfully because no matter how much one enjoys a trip, it is pleasant to see one's destination in view. Some of our passen- gers, who were called Seniors, prepared to leave the party, having engaged passage on another plane for a flight into the future. The remaining passen- gers planned to send them off in high style, espe- cially some who were called Juniors, assisted by our pilots, guides, and hostesses. Many parties were given to honor these Seniors. Then as our trip ended we bade them goodbye, although we hated to see them leave for we had enjoyed many happy times together. S o we returned home with memories of a won- derful trip and with prospects of a long summer va- cation ahead.

A round our world in 180 days! What a trip to take! You are invited to join us, so buy your ticket, pack your bag, and come with us as we review the journey around our world in 1958-59. What a short time it seemed, jammed and packed with activi- ties, sightseeing, plays, games, and other enter- tainment! And of course we had our serious times, too, everyday visiting places that, to be enjoyed, required study and concentration. On August 29, we obtained our tickets and made our reservations for the tour. Taking off on September 2 with 1110 passengers aboard the D. I. S. D. '58-'59, we began the first leg of our journey. This was not a trip for pleasure only - much business had to be attended to. We applied for and received affiliation with the Southern As- sociation of Colleges. After business hours, we spent much time at football games, some of our passengers having formed a team, which we sup- ported and cheered on to many victories, until the Warhorses, as they called themselves, won second place in the district. , Around ur Worl In December we reached a point where bas- ketball was of major interest. Our passengers again formed a team which we followed, win or lose. Midway of our trip, in January, we had to take time out from our pleasure to fill out certain im- portant papers which helped to determine our status as travelers. A few did not start in time to ac- complish this, and had to wait over for a later bus, hoping to overtake us before the conclusion of the trip. i 1 it
