Class History A caravan, totaling fort.v-five, congregated in the City of Bewilderment ni September of 1945, in order that they might plan their four year journey to the Town of Graduation, which they planned to establish in i949- The people to lead the caravan through their first year of strife were chosen by the group. Robert Walker was chosen Whip , or head of the caravan. Eddie Hesford was to be Scout. Robert Caswell was put in charge of the log and the treasury. Mrs. Harnden. who had traveled the route before, and knew all the pitfalls, advised the group. Be- fore the caravan had hardly gotten on its way, the Whip, Robert Walker saw gold in other hills and left us, and then Eddie Hesford, second in command, took his place. In November of 1945 we had our first entertainment, which we called a Frolic. We all wanted to earn money, in order that we might take an interesting side trip, before we reached our destination. People came from miles around to join us in our dance. Although everyone had a good time socially, we found that we weren ' t very successful, financiall -. The year drew to a close and everyone was glad that they passed the first year of their journey without undergoing too many hardships. The second year rolled around with Doris Tondreault as Whip, Wanda Davis, Scout, and Richard Walker in charge of the log. Betty Tribou watched our finances. This year Wanda Davis had to leave us because of illness in her family back home, but promised that she would return in the near future. However, we did leave Richard Walker by the wayside. Alice Schmid took over the records and also the job as assistant whip. Miss Estabrook was elected by the group to advise us. This ear we planned to have two events to break the monotony of the trip. The group wanted to have a dance social in October 1946, which we called the Jamboree. It was certainly a success. We also had a Penny Sale in January 1947- which Mrs. Tondreault graciously sponsored. The first lap of our journey now drew to a close, and we decided that we would rest ourselves and our horses, for two months in the heat of summer. We would then resume our trek toward the settle- ment which we hoped to establish. Having rested and having gained in strength and stature, we rounded up our newly painted wagons, our fresh horses, and our cheerful looking group, and again started westward. Andy Bennett was chosen Whip and Eddie Hesford, Scout, Alice Schmid was in charge of the log, and Carmella Pino watched our finances. Mrs. Harnden again was chosen to advise us. This year we selected delegates to represent us in the Caravan Council. Andrew Bennett, Alice Schmid, and Ruth Goold were chosen. The group thought that we should buy rings to remind us in the future of this most eventful journey. The entire group agreed. A ring com- mittee was elected consisting of Andrew Bennett, Edward Hesford, Alice Schmid, Carmella Pino, Raymond Gagne, and Rita Tucker. Mr. Galven, a representative of the Balfour Company, showed us various t)pes of rings, and we decided on a plain gold ring. We also decided that our treasury was rather low, and if we were to take that important side trip to Washington, D. C. in April of 1949, we would need a great deal of money, so everyone was assessed a dollar per year for that purpose. The Norton caravan thought that they might unite with the Mansfield caravan and organize a Canteen, where the two caravans might get together and have a social once a week. Refreshments would be served. After a great deal of compromising, we finally set up the Alan-Nor Canteen, which became most popular with the younger group. Our third year was drawing to a close, and everyone was busy preparing for the greatest event of our journey — thus far the Jubilee ! Ruth Goold and Car- mella Pino were elected co-chairmen of the event. Vic Greenburg brought his rootin ' , tootin ' players, so that we might dance. We organized a decorating com- 13
