JEexington i ) n Senior ('lass History In the autumn of 1927, our caravan consisting of eighty-one members, some bewitched by the magicians, Humility and Timity, began our journey across the Desert of Four Flying Years in search of Wisdom and Knowledge. Before the moon had waned and died our caravan had chosen as a leader the worthy Magi (Miss Jenkins) under whose efficient guidance we braved the sand storms of English and Science and the black magic of Latin and Algebra. Eight moons passed and a great silence » fell over our train, as each member was filled with anxiety and uncertainity (Examinations), but now there was rejoicing within our band of travelers; the Oasis of Little Wise (Sophomore year) was in sight of all. Now we had completed the first quarter of our journey across the desert and found to our satisfaction a great deal of knowledge in our possession. We examined our caravan and found much to our sorrow, our band had decreased to the number of seventy-five. The weariness of our travelers had completely vanished, and the magicians Humility and Timity had broken their spell over our members and woven it over the caravan which followed. Being determined to make footprints in the sands of time, we chose as our guide the learned Saadi (Miss Powell), and our leader the capable Tung-chih (George Rodgers), with whose wise advice we achieved a marked degree of success, since our tribe was represented in athletics, Glee Club, or- chestra, and society. A number of our boys joined the Hi-Y Club and a few of our girls formed the the Alpha Chi Omega society. Time had quickly passed and our camel train had to journey onward to the Oasis of More Wise (Junior year), still in the quest of Wisdom and Knowledge. With such a vivid background and such a great amount of intelligence, it is needless to say that our journey was safely made but sad to say our band had grown smaller, since it then numbered only fifty-eight. Because of our many new trials and responsibilities, it soon became evident that the organization of our party was necessary, so we elected as our advisor the famous Tao- Tuen (Miss Nichols), as our leader the mighty Sagi (Robert Page), his assistant the efficient Tana (Elva McDonald), Marco (Ned Minaugh) whose duty it was to keep track of us all and Goldi (Frank Hoffman) to take care of our purse. Again our travelers took an active part in all the school activities and thletics and with a large amount of satisfaction, and newly acquired knowledge we made preparations for our journrey to the glorious and envied Oasis of Most Wise (Senior Year). Our journey is now soon to be completed but there is no rest for our travelers because this is the most difficult and dangerous portion of our journey and we are burdened with a new dignity. This caravan of energetic wisdom seekers has decreased to fifty-five but our zeal and earnestness [25]
