This voyage was to be a personally conducted tour in charge of Superintendent James Bushong assisted by Wilfred Burgess. The tour included first a nine months stay in Freshman land. None in the tour had ever visited this land before but had had reports of its green fields and delicious foods from other travelers who had oner voyaged there. During our stay we became acquainted with the wonders of mathematics and a few became so entangled in its intricacies that they never emerged, but were lost completely, and never rejoined the party. Others spent much of their time in English groves where they made the acquaintance of masters of eloquence, and were treated to feasts of roots, diagrams, verses, and book reports. Many entered Orientation and enjoyed the peculiar delights to be found there . A few were lost in the traffic rules and regulations, and had to remain two years before they found their way out. Some were charmed with the delights of general science mountains, although a few of the weaker ones never succeeded in surmounting all these barriers. All were required to explore citizenship caverns and this proved not too difficult for most. Many enjoyed every hour of their stay and roamed among these treasure places and were allowed to have for the taking all the jems. jewels, or tools they found and desired there. The conductor of the tour wisely supervised our recreation and protected us from occasional attacks of noisy creatures called sophomores who invaded freshman land. At the end of the nine months sojourn, passports were issued to enable us t � leave on the next cruise which was to Sophomore Island. After a summer a somewhat smaller group assembled to embark for the lark on Sophomore Island. The conductor of this trip was Miss Annie Newberg. Man of the assistants on this tour were the same as those who had looked after our need in Freshman Land. Our band of students landed at the island filled w'ith enthusiasm. Some hastened to scale typing heights and found there pleasures of sight and intellect, although a few did not like the rough going and deserted the group at the first opportunity. Many found keen pleasure in digging into the historic mounds, and found there the records of the lives of many great men. All of the group were forced to take a sail on English Lake and to take frequent plunges into Oral Bay. A few of the more active occasionally tried to sneak across the narrow channel to Freshman Land and annoy the natives there, but the conductor quickly quelled these attempts. The assistant was always complaining of the atmosphere of Sophomore Island which always seemed to affect the inhabitants with a form of hysteria wfhich manifested itself in the victim by much shouting, laughing, and whispering. The victim was never conscious of these manifestations in himself until he had left the island when the disease disappeared. The assistant also always complained that the travelers were more interested in themselves than in the treasures to be found on the island. A few liked the island so well that they were granted a permit to remain for a second season. A few remained in the employ of a Mr. Caesar who hired them to build a bridge for him. Our next tour w as to Junior Continent. We had no sooner landed there than the travelers began to complain of crowded conditions. The conductor, Joe Johnson, explained that conditions were not really more crowded than they had been, but that everyone who reached Junior Land is afflicted with a form of consciousness of increased size and importance; but this is apparent only to the traveler himself, and passes away as soon as he leaves Junior Land. Various localities were explored on this continent—English Heights, Mathematics Depths, and bottomless History Pits. Page 16 Sports were organized and played, such as basketball and volleyball. Various clubs added to the entertainment of all. With few exceptions passports were issued for the next tour to Senior Haven, under the guidance of Superintendent Wilfred Burgess. The next September our group embarked upon the last year of its tour in the good ship Imbler High. As our ship put off from shore, three others also left. One was being filled with small timid boys and girls bound for Freshman Land; another with a noisy bunch off for Sophomore Isle; another was being filled with self-important youths and maidens off for Junior Continent. The conductor explained that the members of our group had at one time been like each of the other groups, but that seemed impossible. At this point, our conductor, Mr. Burgess, decided to travel a new route. Mr. Albert Hopkins, our new superintendent, agreed to guide the ship Imbler High through the rest of the voyage. On landing at Senior Haven we were given quite a choice of places to explore. New delights met us on every hand. Pleasures such as we had never dreamed were ours. All too soon the year passed, and the conductor called us together for the last time, telling us we must hasten on to make room for others, and embark on the sea of life, choosing our own ship which we must sail for ourselves. And we were left tearfully on the shore watching the ship Imbler High, fade away in the distance, with only memories and our diploma to recall the glad days aboard the good ship Imbler High School.

Page 44 AGRICULTURAL SHOP For the past several years emphasis in the vocational agricultural program has been placed on other phases of the work rather than farm shop so for that reason the shop program has been stressed this year. At the beginning of the year wall cabinets for the tools, to replace the tool room, were constructed. Two new work benches were built and the shop was repainted. Some of the other jobs during the year have been: hog self-feeder, sheep feeder, rubber tired wagon constructed from chassis of car. and smaller jobs in soldering, blacksmithing, and wood work. The agriculture class lias been responsible for several repair and construction jobs about the school such as helping in install basketball baskets, building chair truck for the gym. and putting up stop signs on tile south side of the building. Part of the shop program has been to cooperate with the defense i rogram by collecting approximately eight tons of scrap iron. It is with high admiration of your generosity that we thank and pledge to you as much of our loyalty and patronage as possible. Your help has been to us priceless. We have found you most friendly and generous toward our school and activities. WE MANUFACTURE PONDEROSA PINE AND LARCH LUMBER TELL US YOUR NEEDS Mt.
