JX ADVIS, (Qe Jt OWGishE In September, 1918, eighty-five boys and girls boarded the Freshman Milk- shake. Dale Harvey was the engineer, Everett Franks the fireman, Oscar Fitch the conductor, and Kate Patterson made a very efficient brakeman. Mr. Pellett, the chief dispatcher, gave us our orders thru the operator, Don VanFleet, and we were off. 3ut not for long—one Monday morning after we had been unmercifully tumbled out of our berths, the operator announced that our train would have to stop because the ‘Flu’ was raging ahead of us. We all got off and ’twas a month before the whistle blew and ecall- ed us back. ; We finally picked up our steam again, and were going on fine (being only twice sidetracked by the bluffing begoted Sophomore Special). One morning we looked and, behold, the mountains of examination loomed ahead. They were enveloped in very black looking clouds which Mr. VanFleet informed us were ealled ‘‘Flunks.’’ With many jolts and bumps we got across. those terrible mountains. Some of our passengers got off and never got strength enough to re- turn. After we crossed the Second Semester River we came to some docks and a ship was about to set sail for the “Sea of Matrimony.’’ Several of our passengers bid us good-by and embarked. We crossed some more mountains and slowly pulled into Vacationville. Sophomore Special—With two blasts of the whistle this, our second trip on the Train of Thought began. We had an almost new crew, and new officials as well. Marion Hoyles was the new en- gineer, Margaret Eckhart the fireman, Little ‘“‘Shrimp’”’ Lantz collected our fares and Kate still wrote up our re- ports. Mr. Garber was the new opera- tor and George Carroll the chief Dis- patcher. How proud we felt to have that mease- ly little Freshman Milkshake sidetrack for us. Some of us had smuggled ponys aboard, but we couldn’t keep them quiet. The officials searched until they thought they found them all. Then the ponys jleft us—all but one.

Corney Geiser and he had it trained so well that he kept it with him all through the trip. To enliven our trip we gave a play en- titled “‘The Missing Miss Miller.” It was a success and the Pullman was crowded the two nights it was given. Some how or other we kept our heads small enough to get through that trip. Junior Flyer! Doesn’t that sound big? Well, we felt big. Huh! There was only one train that dared go ahead of us now. Dale Harvey was our engineer again, (Practice makes perfect, you know), Bernard Fouch, the fireman; Ruth Geh- rum had relieved Kate, and Hazel Dick- son collected the fares. Our fares had doubled and there was some difficulty in collecting them, Mr. Willennar was the new operator. We published semi-monthly reports of the trips of all the four trains. These reports were called the ‘‘Maroon and Blue.”’ Maurice Klingler was the editor. After we passed Exam mountains (We didn’t mind them so’ much now), we hooked on a carnival car. This added load caused the crew some trouble, but with Randall’s and Marion’s best efforts, they finally got it under control? It proved to be a great benefit to our trip. After the carnival car had passed into oblivian as far as we were concerned, we hooked on a dining car. The dignified passengers and crew of the Senior Lim- ited, also our officials condescended to board our train and of humble fare. When we pulled into Vacationville we very reluctantly left the Junior Flyer and were very eager to board the Senior Limited. partake On board the Senior Limited: We are supposed to feel dignified, but we don’t. Here we are on our last run and oh, how we'd like to take another trip on the Train of Thought. Harold Aldridge is our engineer; Lucille Elson, the fireman; Lillian MHeinzerling, the brakeman; and Glenn Steward, conduc- tor. We have given another play. time entitled ‘‘Lost—A Letter.’’ Adauls) was even more of a success than ‘“‘The Missing Miss Miller.’’ The ‘Train of Thought has acquired a new Pullman this year. It is known to us as “The Gym.’’ This has been badly needed for some time but the officials just couldn't see the way to get it until now. Any- way, were glad to have it. Instead of those semi-monthly reports, published on the Junior Flyer, we give to the world the ‘‘Aeolian.’’ This exquisite piece of work. We are all looking forward to May 18 when we shall pull into commencement with a grinding of brakes; and the chief dispatcher, Mr. Carroll, will hand us our “Tickets to Success.”’ Here’s to the class of °22. | —EUNICE GUTHRIE.
