BECKER On a bright, cheery, September morn, a small caravan was seen beginning its trek across the land towards a great goal. The wagons carried a gay, laughing group of boys and girls, known as the Jolly Juniors. As we rumbled along through colorful autumnal days, we began planning for a get-together party, so on November 11 our plans were formulated and the Junior Armistice Soiree made its bow. Such a delightful time we had dancing, eating, and watching the entertainment, especially the prize fight. These prize fighters had acquired their exceptional brawn by participating in the various activities and organizations. About a month after our Junior Party, and while passing through an extremely cold region, we realized that Christmas was here so stopped in a small clearing to spend the holidays. After two weeks of pleasure, we again trundled on across the thick blanket of snow. Since all had a premonition of some hard task ahead, we decided to have a last fling. Seated together one sunny afternoon we shouted in laughter at what the others had made into a talent show. We can't forget Rambling Roses, our quartet, and the band who had sung and played at Cornegie Hall. It was well that we had our jollity then, for a few weeks later we were challenged by a band of inquisitors and it took all our mental ingenuity to conquer. The contest waged for almost a week. While we rested at night we planned our strategy for the next day. Day after day we fought to sur- vive and when the week ended, the Battle of the Midyears ceased, and we had triumphed. One clear afternoon our caravan stopped at a little schoolhouse, and after all had alighted, we entered. A group of boys and girls rushed forward to a platform, and after an announcement the rest of us realized we were to be entertained by our talented actors in the annual play, Date Bait. Afterwards we all agreed that our play was a big success. The journey went on over steep hills and smooth plains, and finally on an evening in June we came in sight of another caravan named the Grave old Seniors. To wish them well on their trip, we held a wonderful party, which included eats, enjoyment and entertainment. Soon the end of the trail was in sight. With great care we proceeded on the plans for our Prom. Everyone eagerly gave his services to make it the best and loveliest Prom ever held. A year has passed and we have traveled over smooth plateaus, along calm sections and in troubled regions, and now have reached our goal--the border of Senior Land. Our final tests are over and only the Prom is left of our activities .Our advisers and teachers who made the trek with us, gra- ciously gave us their aid, without which we would have stumbled many times. To them we say thank you. None of us will ever forget our Junior trip across the Land of Knowledge. MARY ANN BCLICH Class of 1950 28
