Class Poem Schools nearly out And Tve jusi D ant lo shoul It ' s pla ) lime nolP for a while. Bui Tvait just a second And Jvhat do you recl(on There ' s a tear behind each snnle. Bacf( to the farm The cock ' s crow for alarm And the long lazy days of summer. But is it all joy In leaving the old girl and boy And greet in their stead a new-comer ? No— it is sad Cause the friends We have had Made school days so happy for us. And when we say ' ' au revoir How long is it for? That— Old Father Time will adjust. Think of the fun. All the meaness We ' ve done The little things so peppy and gay. The secrets We ' ve shared With those who have cared. They Were the roses along our way. Even the sorrows Made the brighter tomorrows And now they seem so small. They hold just a nook In a four-chaptered book Of really no value at all. Just at the end There ' s a break ' ' 2 trend The old happiness is mingled with pain. For that day always comes When we say to our chums Goodbye, Cod grant We may meet again. — Anice Doak.

All these interesting e.xpericnces and the expense accounts were carefully recorded and filed, true to the instruction of B. D. McCallister, the Jay Gould of today. At our stop in Goettinj en, Germany, our passengers were enlightened and inspired by the lectures of Prof. C. L. McCorniick, famed for his scientific and educational knowledge. He was also interested in showing the boys new athletic feats from which they greatly profiled. Holding the famed Spirit of S. J. C. true to its course and schedule, the crew landed in Berlin to receive the plaudits cf the cily. Frau Barr escorted us through the realms ' A her precious mathematics, invading trigonometry, analytics, geometiy and algebra. After a short stay in which we were so admirably entertained by our intellectual hostess, we mounted the plane once again, and after a few hours ' flight, swirled around over Athens, picked up Tutenkanmen Stennis who was visiting there and who planned the itinerary for the rest of our flight in the old country. Swooping down over the Pass of Thermopolae at a distance so near that we could see where the last Spartan fell, we decided that a rest in the Hanging Gardens would be appropriate, so we passed on to that abode. Here the plane was completely overhauled and put in excellent shape for the return trip. We took a turn over Alexandria for the ancient knowledge which that city hoarded and then we circled the pyramids, which we measured from the air, rrot only to apply our geometrical know- ledge but to be certain that their dimensions had not been exaggerated. Tutenkamen Stennis was dropped in the driving chute which functioned perfectly, leaving her safely in her native haunts. In the course of our two year flight, we not only gathered information from the realms of education but we participated very successfully in the annual spring contests which were held at different places in our country. Before the first flight was completed Misses Doak and Gibson won the J. C. debate and were rewarded with a beautiful loving cup. Misses Tolar and Gibson, and Mr. Waddell Hurt won second place in The Little Theatre. Misses E. Kealhofer won first place in the vocal solo, Miss Anice Doak in reading, and Miss Gladys Hughes won second place in piano solo. The boys of our party also showed their skill in all phases of athletics. During the second flight, our troop represented by Misses Doak and Tolar were successful again in winning the debate. So we landed in perfect safety and glorious happiness in our dearly beloved Sunflower Field. As each faithful a iator alighted from the plane, he received from the hands of the beloved master mechanic, J. S. Vandiver, his award, known in the educational world as a diploma. When the flight was over it was with a feeling of sadness that we realized that never again would we be permitted to circle the realms of education in our beloved Spirit of S. J. C. Since none could claim that noble plane.she was left behind for future passengers with the wish that those who come after would love and appreciate her as did the Pioneer Aviators.
