Having left Huston Island, which was really our first stopping plaee, we sailed to U'Brien's Cove, where we paused for a while. After spending a time here. we grew restless and moved on to Nettleman Bay. This bay appeared restful and quiet. but looks are sometimes deceiving. Many of us found that the water was deep and treacherous and caused a good deal of sea sickness. Although a few passengers were having a deplorable time, the rest of us were anxious to venture onward. The dread sea sickness, which is a common thing on such a journey, 4-aused some of our crowd to stay on the island at Xettleman Bay, and with great sorrow we bid them farewell. Hur captain notified us that we were to be put in the second-class cabin because we were such sturdy sailors, and happily we sailed to Brown's lnlet, which was known for its splendid opportunities to such plodding passengers as we pro- fessed to be. Our progress from this point was speedy and sure, for we were not handieapped by seasiek, uncertain fellow passengers, Passing Brown's Inlet, we went surging through the ocean until we came to the calm Gulf of Weyburne. Slowing un slightly, we iourneved through this gulf. While here we were taught which way the needle points, and although many of us received prim-ks for our efforts. we were better off in the end. The needle on the compass pointed south, so we headed for Yeslin Point. Basking in the sunshine at this place, we received much knowledge, especially about nature. Hur eargo was lightened, also, when we threw overboard, into the deep blue sea. a large number of geography books which had grown cumbersome. At this place, with great pleasure. we admitted to our jolly company, Stewardess Malone and Carpenter Tryon. Although our ship was in good trim, Carpenter Tryon prepared the boys so that they 4-ould tinker, if the emergency arose, while Stewardess Malone prepared the girls so that if the chefs should go on strike, they would be ready. The sun shone and the waters were smooth and blue, while we sailed tran- quilly onward, on the last leg of our journey. In the distance we saw smoke-i stat-ks, steenles and spires, the sure sign of a thriving eitv.-The Shining City of Inlet-hsler, where. under executives Oeehsler, Benster and Myers. it is a veritable spotless town. With hearts filled with gratitude and thanks, we arrived at this magnificent city and were greeted with open arms. After being here awhile some of the boys found that the girls were very interesting. and with Philip Kass and lidmund Collins as the leading shciks, they cultivated the girls' acquaintance. Une of the neighboring cities sent to us, bag and baggage, three law breakers who were too much of a eitv nuisance. NVe welcomed these young people gladly for the Shining City of Oechsler is known to be able to reform gorillas tif neces- saryl. The newcomers were known as Robert Jones, Robert Stein, and Fred Searle, and they soon settled down, for they knew they could get nowhere by silly actions in this city. Much to our sorrow, we were divided into classes and put in different cities, but we were made happy again by the thought that, at the end of our stay, we would again be united. Dolly Rothert, one of our blue ribbon species, astonished us by having her curly locks clipped. and, lo. thereafter there were no more curls, but a marcelle that was a work of art. Tzc'f1z'e

Mary Leone Freund, mayor of the sehool. was a member of our room, and so was Margaret Mullholland, assoeiate editor of the Fultonian. The offieers of our 1-lass, who have brought us through a sum-4-essful year are: Charlotte Palmer, president, lone Chapman. viee-president: Virginia Bigelow, seeretary: Margaret Caves, treasurer, Margaret Mullholland, eouneil- man, and Ardanelle O'Neil, sanitary ehief. Miss 0eehsler's 1-lass was endowed with an industrious feeling this year and started three elubs: a dramatir-, literary, and odds and ends elub. Eat-li week one of these groups gave an entertainment suitable to its subjeet. T11 that way the monotony of the week was broken and drainatir- talent, literary virtues, and originality were shown by our pupils. This year we had a eira-ulating library whit-h proved very popular. The books were donated by the pupils and taken out for a week's time by any pupil who wished to read them. May Louise Cooley, our librarian, proved able to hold her position well, and kept the library in good order. Do our futures look bright? We'll say so!

We set sail in September. with many farewells and good wishes following us. and sailed tranquilly to the first stopping plaee. At the Chase Coaling Station we gathered fuel and were prepared to eontinue on our journey. The sea beeame rough and billowy, but in the distanee a lighthouse gleamed. beckoning to us. This lighthouse was situated on Huston Island, and there we paused for a short E lever:

gi75 r'l...ll.-r:N 'e-53 Most of us thought the Shining City of Oeehsler had a gum-tree grove, for many had its produet between their jaws. Our eaptain said that the chewing of gum was against ship orders and forbade us to use it. From then on, praetieally no more gum was used, and we did not look like a tribe of vows, 1-hewing their eud. From the very beginning of our stay, we were visited by a plague or epidemit- whieh was very frightful indeed. This disease was known as the dant-ing fever and it spread rapidly. Many eould not sit still when they heard musit-, but felt- the blood tingling in their veins, and were up to danee. The erisis of the disease was the Freshman Party, where we daneed to our hearts' eontent. But this was the least of our experienees. .lust as measles and other diseases are so easily c-aught from a little germ, so did this danf-ing bring about a more complicated trouble. A majority 1-aught the little germ of so-1-alled love. The ones who were suseeptible paired off and many tender whispers and mueh love making ensued. Of eourse a great deal of this was puppy love, for many turned fiekle and t'repaired. Some eitizens of a mueh less renowned eity, namely Mary Agnes Swanwiek, Doris Taylor and Virginia Bigelow, were so impatient to rome to the Shining City of Oeehsler that they 'tdug deep into their books and were promoted to our 1-ity. They entered into our lives as eompletely as though they had always been with us, and we enjoyed their eompany immensely. At this interesting eity we experi- eneed many other ineidents, but they are too numerous to tell. The heavens are studded with brilliant stars, triumphantly proclaiming us victors, forfthrough Experienee Oeean we have sailed and are now safe at port. -MARY LEONE FREUND. Prophecy for Miss Oechsler's Class 1924 VVAS sitting on the sofa of my apartment on Riverside Drive, gazing out at the falling snow, when I became aware of a ring at my door. I was tired after my day's work at the studio. Painting steadily always makes one tired. I slowly erossed the room and through the mouth pier-e asked who was there, but the only response I received was, It's a friend. Curiosity led me to push the button, and as I stood waiting at the top of the stairs, I tried hard to think who this friend eould be. Dorothy I-Iallerl I gasped, as a smiling-faeed young lady eame into view, Where in the world did you eome from? Oh, Mugs, I'm so glad to see you. I was in New York and thought that I'd stop in. 'II am surely glad you did. Here, let me take your eoat. What a darling jacket you have. Thank you. By the way, I got it at Betty Jane Davis' and Ardanelle O'Neil's little shop in Toledo. They have darling things there. That reminds me of the old class! Let's see, it has been fifteen years since our class graduated from Fulton and eight years sinee I left Toledo. Have you seen many of the old class lately? Well, yes. Last week, when I was in Toledo, I saw Elfrid Nic-hols. You know she has married Robert Whitmore, a millionaire.
