On September fourth, nineteen hundred eighteen, twenty-one Freshmen equipped with books, pens, pencils, paper and numerous other encumbrances, presented themselves in the assembly room of Fountain City High School. This was the depot appointed for meeting, for they were going on a long journey that would last four years. They were taking with them Professor Beall, Shurleigh Harter, Helen Carter and Lela Manford as guides to the most interesting places, since these had been on a similar journey before. They were very much excited as most children are when about to take a ride on the train. They sang a merry good-bye and started on the eight- thirty train. They traveled for about two hours and stopped at a place called Science City. NVith Mr. Beall as chief guide they wandered through this city, visiting one of the largest observatories in the world. Here they learned a great deal about the solar system, which they deemed very interesting. Having visited a coal mine near the city they went to see Queen Falls, which are noted for their beauty. Then they visited the large museum where they saw many in- teresting things. They stayed in this city for about a month. On the first of October they started on their journey again. Having traveled for six days they came to a place called Algebraia,l' and were told that they would spend a few days here. This was rather a small place, but full of many puzzling things. 'Miss Harter helped them solve their mysteries by explaining each little thing very carefully. About the most puzzling was the Fraction Building. XYhile they were here they learned to play the game called Removing Parantheses and Brackets. Having stayed here as long as they could they continued their travels and at length came to Arithmetica. Miss Harter again went with them to visit the Stocks 8 Bonds Company, the factory where adding machines were made and several other places of interest. They took up their journey again and traveled until they came to English City, and taking Miss Carter as chaperon they made pilgrimages to the coun- try homes of numerous poets and authors. XVhile here the girls decided to go to Domesticburg, a little village about five miles distance, and see if they could learn to cook some new things so they could surprise their folks when they returned home by showing them that they could cook. They also learned how to make some very pretty articles in the sewing department. Miss Manford went with the girls to this village and helped them to have a very enjoyable visit. Returning to English City she decided to take the whole crowd to a musi- lllIIIlllIIIllllllllllllIIIlllIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llll l Ill ll l lllll l l l ll llllll lll 4 l l I l l lllll l ll lll I ll lllll l l
