} 1880 THE PLAINSMAN 1928 I ............................................................................. iimiiii En Route Dear Fellow Students: “Human wisdom is prone to errfearing that we have done so, we left on the last aeroplane for the Hawaiian Islands and points west. We are merely shadows of our former selves, pitiful relics of what were once youthful, high-spirited Juniors. When we were hound for the landing field, we met one of our sympathetic I faculty. Strange to say, she passed delil erately by us, not recognizing the aged i travelers as being her once rosy-cheeked, laughing pupils. . Alas! we have trod the weary road of editing the Plainsman. Now that it is over, we are almost hysterical, partly because we have suddenly relaxed, and partly lx:cause we have grown rather attached to our duties. The editor-in-chief and the assistant editor, it will suffice to say, have abso- lutely lost the power of sj eech from talking over the telephone, hunting up stray | alumni. I Shed tears for our business and advertising managers! Poor souls! They have l een assigned padded cells in the Evanston Asylum. It is feared they are in for good and all. We are extremely worried about the class editor. Just as we were about to embark on our journey, Norma asked the pilot if he were going to put his picture I in the 1928 Plainsman. | One of the local drugstores sold sixty-nine rolls of film to the feature editor so that she could take pictures when she reached Hawaii. Drastic measures, we j fear, will have to be taken to break up this disconcerting habit. No doubt the Hawaiian islanders will l c reading about the activities in Lara- mie High, because the circulation manager is already anticipating a sales campaign among the natives. It has l ecome a habit with him—this selling of annuals. | The moment we boarded the ship, our eyes fell on a huge sign “Please do not write on the sides of the apartment. The art editor almost burst into uncontrolled tears over this—he had l een anticipating some decorating on the way out. The society editor is so tired of attending social functions that she is immed- iately going to take the “Uneeda Rest Cure to gain l ack her vitality. The academic and humor editors are l eing carried to their destination on neat white stretchers. Little hope is given for their full recovery. One person among the group, however, is rejoicing. That is the athletic editor. He is wild with joy because there are no basketliall or football games in Hawaii. As a whole, the Annual staff of 1928 is alxnit the most pitiful group that has ever dej arted from I aramie. People in the Islands will doubtless wonder what kind of a country Wyoming is, when they see us, weak, staggering, and wild of eye, file in mournful procession from the door of the plane. A band of the most skilled physicians and nurses is to l e employed to coax us l ack to our former glowing i health. f Now that the Plainsman is published, we are content, almost sure we will regain our lost spirits. Just let “bygones be bygones,” and write us letters about the news in I aramie High. Yours dolorously, | I The Staff. i i P«g« Fourteen i i V.........................................................................................J
