Among the faculty we found Misses Helmi Heikkinen and Lil- lian Tapper, holding very prominent places. Having visited to our hearts' content, We decided to return to Georgia by Way of the Pacific Ocean and the Panama Canal. We traveled toward the West on the Northern Pacific stopping at intervals at points of interest. During our entire journey thru the West all conversation of the passengers seemed to be centered on one man, a detective.
