THE CLASS UF 1942 As infant freshmen, we entered this world of unfamiliar faces shy and undecided as to our destinations and the courses to follow. Our one thought was to cover as much of the Earth as possible in our travels within our limited time. With only a short time to spend in each land, one of our chief difficulties was choosing what to see and what not to see. When in Freshmania, no one ever misses the city of Eng- lish, and Freshmania wouldn't be complete without meeting General Science. After that, however, one must decide whether it would be better to meet Junior Business Training, an interesting fellow, or to tackle Al. G. Bra, who knows only the alphabet, in the State of Mooreland. Many of our problems were solved once we had boarded the vehicle of our choice. There was an airplane called College Prep, which followed one route with few elective stops. Then there was the train named the Stenographer's Special. The occupants of that conveyance were impressed by an entirely different set of ex- periences. Those who wished to select a zig zag route drove cars over the general course with side excursions when desired. Battles were being waged at all times, and many of the boys, and girls, too, entered the contests. Bill Bledsoe and George Mclzeely added their brawn to win many a fight on the Plains of Gridiron. In the second year of our travels we arrived at Sophomoreland, just brimming with enthusiasm to absorb the marvels of that great country. Whether or not to go to the metropolis of Geo, that was the question. Geo, with streets that required a Philadelphia lawyer to straighten out, beckoned, and some of us entered. How much shorter is was to take Hypotenuse Avenue 'from the drug store at A to the hotel at C than to go past the hat shop at the corner of AC and BC. For those of us who had ventured into Latinia before, a visit to Upper Latinia was Necessary . . . that land of the Romans where men wear dresses, and women aren't much in evidence ..... Latinia, where gods and goddesses are a dime-a-dozen, and Caesar is the conquering hero! There many of us with minds wholly unlike sponges spent months aimlessly wandering. Ah, Junioria! Now there is a country for you. So far as we're concerned, it is really the only one on the map. We certainly didn't suffer for lack of sights, because there was a wide field to cover. There was the City of Typing, which is one mass of flying fingers. Some of us visited Orr's Chicken Farm. On that unique farm, there are no roads, just short cuts which are found by following the chicken scratches. Chemistrandia is the city of glass. All the best homes are heated exclusively with Bunsen burners. The Junioria arsenal is kept there under the supervision of Mayor Rollins. Near the end of our travels in this great country we invited travelers in Senioria to come to a shindig given in their honor. We ate enough to feed an army and then danced holes in our shoes. It was a huge success. Now, Senioria! We all have tickets good for a year's travel there, and prob- lems will face us again. Shall we try to balance budgets and books in Bookkeeping? How about visiting Mr. Al. G. Bra again to hear even more complicated versions of his alphabetical gibberish? W'e are all looking forward to the eventual solution of these problems.
