18 THE LOUD SPEAKER TABLOID TALES FORWARD This hook of short stories is an exponent of a new departure in literature. in that all the characters between its covers are of equal im- portance. These heroes and heroines need no introduction to you. They are hoys and girls you see on the streets every dayg they are your young friends' even your own children. Julxa Uornalia, Alice Backes, Josephine Nelson, Paul VanZile. Glenn Weeks, llelen Snyder, Jeannette Pattison, Varmen Fevctte, Frances Piecuch, Ann Ellicott, Kenneth Weeks, William t'-osier, John Hammond, Robert McDonald, Mary Jane Bailey, Evelyn Kizer. James Campbell, Ronald Fore- man, Ruth Button, Bernice O'Reilly, and others- you know them all, The thread of plot running through these tales is liased on the true story of the school- days of these hoys and girls. The verity of the stories is vouched by Mr. Hillman, supervisirv: principal of the Elklanrl Schools, in which the scenes are laid. FIRST TALE Septeniher 6. 1931 found our twenty trays and girls of the Forward together with Winifr-d Carr, John and Robert McCaslin, .lean Little. Betty Elliott, Francis Hall and John Froft se.- ting sail from the Shadow Island to journey across the stormy sea of light, in Search of the island, Knowledge. The course was rough and rugged, the sailors young and inexperienced, hut with the help of their capalilc leaders, Mrs. Hillman, Miss Donovan, Mr. Wood, Miss Mc- Cabe and Mr. Barocco, the good ship, Freshman, healing the silver and green, kept chugging along, hoping and praying for gentle breezes. The well-chosen motto. Upward Striving, was also attached to the ship, which was now ready to hrave the uneasy waters. SECOND TALE As the months passel on, the hardships in- crtased. hui. not once did the crew give up, Early in the spring, as the ship nosed its way Lu Sorhomore Island, the faces of the crew were cheerful and smiling, for they had nearly travel- ed ove.' the first lap of the journey. In the autumn of 19512 our plucky seanian anchored their ship K'Sophoniore and set them- selvts husily at work chewing gum and whisper- ing so that they might test the patience of their worthy teachers. The time passed quickly, and towards the end of the year the Sophomore Islanders gave a party for the Freshnien sailois. This formally closed the second quarter of the voyage. THIRD TALE On their return from the sununer vacation. the Fophonnzre Islanders again anchored their shlp, this time along the shores of the Junior Magazine, thus preventing tne voyage from lic- cozuiug monotonous. This same year, the feminine group ef the crew lzegan to take a decided interest in Basket- lzxll, As their wealth was small, and as there was a need for haskethall suits and new halls, it was deemed fit to raise a fund hy card parties and candy sales. Thus the tfiird lap of the ltllll' journey was completed. FOFRTII Ttlil-I The dreams of our class had at last heci realized. In September lllit-1 they landed on Senior Peninsula with hut nine short months to complete the journey. A few new mernhers had lreen added to the crew, -iamcly: Roma Jean Ingersoll, Alberta Adriance, Betty Davis, and Wilma Owlett, whom the ship had pick.-d up along the shires of the Cowanesque River at Nelson. Early in the voyage it was dcridel that after our wonderful experience, we should publisn a look called The Loud Spaaiicrf' We cherishel the fond desire until we realized it. At last. after four years, we were :sailing towards home to l'e rewarded for all cur hardships. The time we have longed for so often has almost arrived. and all too soon. Out port is near, the goil is nrarly won. We will soon embark on lifes stormy sea, instructed so that we may guil- our lives accurately. and :inchr at last in the peaceful. calm harlior of Success. I'uhlisher's Note A sequel volume to 'l'alvl.ii.l Tales will soon he in the process of compilation.
