(?lcte4 'i¥i4tony In 1939 a group of boys and girls, wishing to see the country as they trav- eled toward the Land of Commencement organized into a band of tourists, electing as their leader and guide, Mrs. Vera Russell. We elected several different guides and leaders as we went along the dif- ferent trails. We saw many strange sights as we passed through the Islands of Geography, by the Swamps of Science, and across the Waters of Industrial Arts. We found many hardships, as everyone does, in the countries of English and Literature. After eight years of travel, we journeyed into what is known as Freshman Camp. Unlike the Salt Lake, in Utah, everything is fresh, but as the years went on, things began to be a little saltier. Miss Jean Pittsenbargar was elect- ed our leader and Paul Bud Bodkin was chosen our guide. As we continued our journey, we came upon another camp known as Soph- omore Camp. Everyone was very anxious to reach this camp, but of course, everyone would be! We stopped here for a year's visit and elected a new lead- er and chose Levon Tiffin as our guide. We had lost a few tourists, but had found others to take their place. In September, 1948, we continued our journey, still hoping to reach the Land of Commencement. But alas! We came upon another camp which is known as Junior Camp. At this camp we picked Mrs. Jack Snell and Mr. Glenn Rhoades as our leaders and Harvey Wilson as our guide. At this camp we went up the trails of Concession Stand, Junior Play and Junior-Senior Ban- quet. Finally a camp known as Senior Camp was reached. It was here we changed leaders and guides again. Mr. Ralph Thurman and Mr. C. J. Smith were chosen our leaders and Bob Allen was chosen our guide. They took us up paths where we learned about rings, pictures, announcements, diplomas, caps and gowns, and other odds and ends. We knew then that we were nearing the Land of Commencement. Mindful of other days, we began planning for a play, known as the Senior Play. Our trail crossed that of another band, the Junior Camp, who entertained us royally just before gathering for the last time at the edge of The Land of Commencement. ”
