We rnanage to secure an elevator which rises rapidly to the ninth floor. Later, after touring floor nine, we ret-urn to the elevator which already contains five boys and girls, namely, Jean Lawrence, Fritz Stock, Jane Haley, Ruth Le Saux and 'Merle Grove. More boys and girls rush up to join the five already there. They are Earl Hatfield, Alice Peterson, Kenny Bauer, Lee Elisenman, George Kietzmann, Frieda Schupbach, -Carl Robertson, Anna Mae Nelson, Edith Knapp, Harold lngold and Eddie Montross. Eddie was due for the elevator aheaid of this one, but became ill, and so waited for the next elevator. Ruth Le Saux takes her place at the controls with Earl Hatfield as her assistant. Eddie Montross stands at one side taking notes on the trip and Fritz Stock collects fares. Miss Wcrtsh, the guide, hurries in, and the elevator ascends. Sounds of laughter are heard, and the boys and .girls are surprised how quickly time flies. Before they know it they are getting off at the tr--nth floor for their excursion. They leave the elevator laughing and talking about the fun they have had in Speech, Sports, and Music. Soon the troop, still with Miss Wertsh as their guide, return tothe elevator talking gflily of the good times they have had on their to-u'r. Again, Ruth Le Saux takes over the controls, with Kenny Bauer is assistant and Earl Hatfield taking notes and collecting fares. Oiu count it is found that one tourist., Harold lngold, has decided to remain on the ninth floor, and the 'rest go on without him. As, in the previous ascent the interest centers around current activities, including the Music Festival, Speech Contest and Athletic events. -Members of the group are better ac- quainted and have more fun together while the elevator seems to spin upward with increased speed. 'Phe next scene is of a happy, healthy group emerging from the elevator as it pauses at 'floor eleven. The same group of young people return to the elevator, with one new tour- ist, Edyth Hoerr, accompanying them. This time a new guide, Miss Dowler, j0inS them., A diiferent hand, Eddie Montross, is at the controls now, too, on the trip fl'0iYl the eleventh to the twelfth floor. Ruth Le Saux is his assistant and Earl l-latfield again serves as note- and ticket-taker. This is a journey filled with even more varied activities. Sports occupy a good portion of their leisure with Carl Robertson and Earl Hatfield representing the group in baseball and Kenny Bauer in basketball. The Junior Play, And Mary Did, is the center of attraction the first part of the trip. This is followed by a dinner party and many other enjoyable activ- ities including music, clubs, and speech work, the last of which has Ruth Le Saux and Edythe Hoerr for representatives. These events all come to a climax in the most outstanding one o'f the journey, the Junior-Senior Banfluet and Prom, very cleverly carried out rein-resent an old southern plantation, With words of praise, relating to the banquet still ringing in their cars, members of the group step out of the elevator at floor twelve. After another short excursion they return for the next part oi' their journey. H-nth LQ Saux is again back at the controls with Merle Gurove as her assistant and Carl Robertson standing by, ,iottixtg down notes on the laptenings of the trip and collectins fares. The same guide, Miss Dowler, still accompanies them. The entire trip is crammed full of adventures from besinnins to end. lu sports the group is again represented by Carl Robertson and Earl Hatfield in baseball and by Kenny Bauer and Earl in basketball. Rutch Le Saux again answers the invitation to participate in speech activities, and all the members find their spare time crowded with other adventures such as parties, picnics, a sleigh ride, music and various club activities.
