THE CLASS UF 1943 Flight two for a round the world trip. Leaving immediately at gate two! At last the time had arrived for the long awaited trip around the globe by airplane. September, 1939! It has been almost two years since they took off on that beautiful autumn day. Several planes constituted the entourage. A giant Condor, carrying those who wished a general course, was one of them. This enormous plane, capable of carrying its passengers above the dangers of the Mathematic Mountains, could safely carry enough fuel to avoid the perilous Foreign Language Desert. Among the planes was an autogyro whose passengers were out to find adventure in any shape or form. They had no fear of the afore-mentioned hazards. Their plane was capable of landing and taking off in small clearings in those dreaded Mathematic Mountains. This air-minded group pitched their tents in the very middle of the Foreign Language desert so that they could tell the folks back home that they had witnessed for themselves the rolling, shifting sands of Latin, French, and Spanish territories. Another plane was an amphibian. Its passengers turned from mountain fastnesses and deserts to following the Commercial River. Since the expedition had been planned to extend over a four year period, in the first tw-o years they saw only a few fine specimens of Junioritus Business Trainingtoe, a rare thing anywhere except along the Commercial River. Here, for their next flight, they made plans to search the jungle territory of Shorthand for the hidden secrets of the Speedy Typist , a tribe which has been the subject of much discussion among explorers in this region. Let's take a peek at the giant Condor winging its way over hill and dale. Its passenger lists included such distinguished notables as Ray Rosing, Head Pilot, Henry Cunningham, Co pilot, and Jack Baldwin and James Ford, Mechan- ics. The plane was large enough to accommodate women passengers who desired to engage in the culinary arts while in flight. Then of course there were those who took the bi-plane, which landed anytime, anywhere as the passengers wished. These passengers invariably reached their destination with a wider and more thorough knowledge of the world at large. They stopped off for a little music in Jitanote Land where there was dancing, singing, and playing of instruments. All did not get off, howeverg some remained in the plane to discuss the next stop, a place at which they could exercise their bodies. Playawhile is a small town that is increasing in population very rapidly. There they spent many hours visiting in Athletica, a giant coliseum built by play. The passengers, enjoying to the utmost Playawhile Land, were unani- mous in their desire to visit there again on subsequent flights. The last stop before the return home was made in a very dismal looking land, where there was only little happiness. The passengers came down to earth and passed out Goodwill and Cheer. There was a tiny red brick house in the center of the town with a Red Cross on it. People were hustling to and fro, and many came out with pleasant smiles on their faces to greet the visitors. Upon entering, the flyers found workers clad in white, dispensing books, clothing, medicine, games, and other necessities to the crowds. The Passengers were deeply impressed by the altruistic endeavors of these humanitarians, and they vowed to stop each year to lend them aid. So our young friends ended their flight. They are, even now, looking forward to boarding their respective planes another year for further flights over the Land of Education.

THE CLASS UF 1944 All ashore that's going ashoref' called Captain Bob Lindsay. The good ship S, S. Freshman was really on its way. Captain Lindsay had gathered his elected crew of First Mate Stratton, Second Mate Jourgensen, Third Mate Colicehio, and the remaining crew and passengers from many places. There were adventure seekers from Gavin, Fox Lake, Round Lake, Grayslake, Big Hollow, and other points. Together they set out in their time worn but seaworthy craft to discover for themselves the Pleasure Islands and Lands of Learning. They had to navigate the dangerous River of Newness before coming to the sea, but though they found themselves grounded on the sandbar of Unfamiliarity, these sixty-two able bodied seaman finally reached the open water of Acclamation. These novice sailors soon chanced upon Col. Ege Prep, a man of ancient and honorable lineage. His people are strictly ruled, and they seldom stray from the straight and narrow path. The Colonel insists that they learn Latin because a few hundred years ago, it was considered good mental discipline, and he still thinks it is a good idea. One day soon after these young sailors had conquered sea sickness and had become fairly well acquainted with the rigging, they sighted something ominous off the starboard side. It was the thing about which they had heard strange tales by retired sailors back home. It came swooping down upon them without warning-a great whirlwind, and when it was past, oh, what a state of things! There was a profusion of paint smeared faces. Even the clothing of the travelers was disarranged. The storm passed, however, as quickly as it had come. Passengers Reed Frost and Willard Scott joined in the odd sport of kick- ing a ball around the decks and tackling each other left and right. Fisticuffs with padded mitts intrigued Bill Henson and Paul Stroening. Tossing a ball back and forth and into a basket appealed to Raymond Severs. There was a group of harmonizers on this craft. They assembled and put on a concert at one of their stops for the remaining passengers and sight- scers who weren,t so talented in that direction. One day our voyagers sighted the island home off General Kourse, upon whose well-managed island is a cook and seamstress whom the General prizes highly. The girls on board flocked to her kitchens where they learned to con- coct all manner of luscious foods. They decided to return there another year to learn to sew a fine seam. In their travels these sailors encountered all sorts of difficulties. Once they found themselves on a small island inhabited by a large group of ferocious looking people. Their chief desire was to be entertained. What to do? What to do? There seemed no escape from this predicament, so, then and there, these young gadabouts devised a program. There was singing and dancing, a short sketch, and playing of instruments. Their efforts soothed the savage beasts, and the voyagers sailed on happily with an invitation to return with more entertainment at a later date. Upon their return home in May there were questions, questions, ques- tions! They were examined and cross-examined by everyone in authority. Most of the travelers seemed to have gained enough fro-m the tour to satisfy even the most curious of questioners, but a few decided to revisit parts of their itinerary just to be better prepared for prying inquisitors another year.
