Word would be sent out months ahead of time that a train was to move westward at a given date. Upon the day of the assembly the leaders of the train would be selected. There would be parleys with guides. Captains interviewed their mounted guides. Scouts were called together and given their instructions. Wagons were looked over. The girls made sure they had everything that they thought they would need for this great adventure westward. They had no books or magazines to guide them in selecting things to take. Little was known of the life on the trail. Meager and mostly false stories were all they had to go by. Many daughters of the southern planters had wagons as luxuriously furnished as their own boudoirs back home, even though crowded. Others, in the most rattle-trap of wagons. sat in smiling con- templation. wondering what the life at the end of the traill' would be and who would be their nearest neighbors when they had made their stake in the west. There was much talk on the last evening before departing. Many wagons from up-river arrived in the late evening. Word had been received that several wagons from the south were held up on account of heavy rains but would be along in a few days. At the last they arrived in groups of two's and ten's. The camp black- smiths were doing a last hour's rushing business. The day faded into dusk and fires were lighted. Many newcomers gathered around the fires and listened to the stories about the land of a thousand opportunities. More often than was necessary these stories were told only for the benefit of the tenderfoot and very rarely contained any truth. All the night the noise kept up. All was excitement! Slowly the eastern horizon turned purple and the stars began to blink out. Gradually light came to that over-anxious train. Then the blazing sphere of light came bounding up out of the earth. The iridescent ball stood out over the stream and lower arroyo where the early morning mist had risen. Fires were refueled and the last meal at Council Grove was prepared: after that the meals were those of the nomads, the travelers. Confusion reigned while the final orders were called and farewells were said. Then came the call, Westward Ho! Up and out of the valley and over the hill moved the train. Faces ever westward! Pioneers conquering the land that helped make the greatest of nations! Many days passed-days of sunshine. wind, rain, and dust, days that were hotg days that were cold. The train moved ever on-sometimes eight, sometimes twelve miles a day, when the traveling was especially good. But ever westward went the pioneers. Fun, laughter, and song mixed with hardship, Indians, and death filled the days. Each day contained its share of dreams of what the new life was to hold when they reached their destination. Some were afraid and uncertain, others be- lieved that the future would take care of itself. After crossing plain, mountain, and mesa they came to the end of the trail and to the beginning of a new life. Here the knowledge gained along the trail was of unlimited value. Here the plow-share was unloaded, crops were planted and houses arose almost over night. Homes were made and the foundation to the greatest land of all was layed in the solid rock of the blood of the pioneers. - - 'NXR x 3 fe. fm, i 5 5- M Xx:..:'f'X All A lf 'e-frsf,-..-, X' . 1. f ' ' f .' fr' le A A ' rr .1 so V- ' K-' A. r l l, if 1 T4 ' ' f 7 .

At many water holes, where no water was found, and when things looked the bluest and there was much dissatisfactibn, these trusty men came to our aid and gave us the spirit to carry on. Never can we forget the loyalty and aid that our head guide gave us. Ml- though he weighed many pounds and made a good target for the Indian arrowsj he always had a ready smile and a helping hand. Second in command and in charge of all the persorgiel of the train was the sturdy backwoodsman and pioneer Tex Shinkle, and well has he carried his post of command. When the vigilantes committee picked our Math,' Morris to carry the third command in the train they could truly say, A job well done. As well as being third in command of our trip he also showed us how to hunt the big theorems down around Geometry Gully, and many a time he has taken chalk in hand and shot out of the air an algebra problem which was vexing some poor driver with its call of x, y, z. The committee was always on hand when any matter concerning the camp was discussed. It was they who had to sanction the actions of the other advisors. The guides, too, were all responsible to them in seeing that the part of the difficult trail over which they guided the train was safely crossed, or at least, that help was rendered as far as it was possible for them to do so. This vigilantes committee, consisting of Will Purdy, Albert Pruit, E. G. Minton, C. C. Cagle, and Dan Wilmot bagged much of the big financial game. They were often found setting out in the early mornings for some section of the country to hunt this game for the use of the train. This game, although not so rare, was very hard to get and these five men were getting to be expert in the handling of the finance. Besides knowing how to handle the elusive finance they were experts in the repairing of wagons which broke down. But, as they looked the whole train over frequently and generally found all the weak spots, it was very seldom that any part was seriously incapacitated. The whole train realized what great aids these advisors were and they were favorites among all. 'n I N X, 4, N. . Q Q Q' M , W f 2 I , , I, .

W 1 if iz ANY guides accompanied us in our journey across the westland and all came in handy in solving the many problems and questions that confronted us. George Carothers and Howard Deaton were in charge of the chemicals of the Carothers had his stuff in wagon number l2 and there he advised us in the ways of the test tube, H20, and other things of a similar nature. His greatest interest, however, was in the squals along the way. These particular squals were produced by a minute body. train. Deaton had a lot of junk he carried with the train and claimed that he could show us why an apple fell down instead of up when the stem broke. Then there were other things he claimed to know such as why sound traveled at a greater speed when Fanny Fordon made the sound with her mouth, than when A. B. Corum made the same effect on the ethereal waves. Some of us were always straying from the train and getting lost so they had to have a guide to hunt us up and see that we stayed with the wagons. A corkin' good guardian we had in Gladys Mell, always on her job. In fact, as some found to their sorrow, she had such piercing eyes that no matter how secluded were the ravines in which they wandered, Gladys would espy them. After the long, wearisome drives of each day Pat McNally proved her ability to develop the artistic instincts of those so inclined, by presenting short comedies, tableaux, and gymnastic performances in the light of the camp fire. Many an evening the news quickly spread through the camp, Pat's pulling off a shin-dig tonight! Immediately a great uproar would arise. Such was the enthusiasm that Mamie Urton, although she had already crawled wearily to bed, instantly rolled out. Even in this isolated country Cupid was not forgetful of his duties. Before our journey was half over shy little Dorothy Bergquist fell a victim to the wiles of an audacious young tribesman from the north who boldly carried her off on his horse, into the mountains. Stella Jacobson was very spectacular bouncing along on the hard wagon seat beside the driver, poring over a worn copy of Macauley's 'iLife of'efg.Johmison. Frequently her attention was called to some of the more unruly ones whbse over- exuberance required a severe reprimand. After administering the necessfry rebuke she would immediately resume her literary pursuit. i -7 Mamie Urton, who was so interested in the evening's entertainments, was always on hand when needed during the day. Many a time has she helped some one over the difficult hill of Rhetoric. She could be found 'most any time ex- plaining to some driver the reason why he should be active instead of passive. On one wagon was a flag bearing the inscription '4V'eni, Vidi, Vici ' and, as you might know, was the wagon belonging to Fern Williams. She was able to read Latin as well as she could read English. Many of us discovered, to our despair, that the delightful sounds which she uttered were better in her vocabulary than they were when we tried to establish them in our own. Although she hounded the brave into learning Latin, she bore no grudge against those who could not do so, and thereby won numerous friends and admirers. .X V ss-au-, i 'Eg X V, . ,. - -, LE -el Us f A-f J wif if-1 I --XX ,- . fl 'ff . 4 - ff .- M M ' Hrfllfl' J ix f Il ifiif d im is fifl 0175 s I Page Fifteen I MR.

Well did he H train his men in the ways of the plains. Besides being known throughout the , west as a great scout, he also achieved fame in camp as a provider of theorems. ' l His genius for picking the theorems out of the air and bringing them to earth with very little struggle from them was the envy of all. ,l A Along the trail many rocks were discovered bearing strange inscriptions. li. 1 These aroused great interest and caused us to wonder what they meant. Fanny I i Fordon gained notoriety as soon as it was learned that she could teach anyone to ' understand these curved lines and loops. ln spite of the fact that a great deal of 1 her time was occupied in transcribing these queer characters she rode around camp , i cheering us by her jocosity. ' K Robert Reynolds was new to the west as a guide but well did he fill his place 4 . and quickly did he learn the lesson of the trail. One of the hardest lessons he had O to learn was to have patience, and to keep his temper, when attempting to master ' the trick of roping. His rope was continually getting him into trouble for it in- cessantly caught on the wrong object. l ,I I Martha Cowan kept all the records of the train because she knew that she - f was among those who were making history. For her, history was a consuming 4 passion and in the keeping of these facts she took an insane delight. Each evening I she wrote up the events of the day while the antelope steaks were broiling over the A . fire, or while the buffalo stew was simmering. I K When spirits lagged and we were worn out from discouragement, we were V furnished momentary forgetfulness by the wines Hazel Vineyard kept in her wagon. x, Although she had such a good way of cheering us, she also caused despair. Most K of her time was spent on the trail of some shiftless pioneer who refused to keep his - wagon neat. Hazel insisted that each wagon would present a much better appearance I ' if the nouns, pronouns, verbs, and other parts of speech were carefully stacked and f. ' labeled. 1 fi When we reached New Mexico Esther Morgan, because of the excellent way ff if in which she spoke Spanish, struck the fancy of several Sefiors. They were im- X mediately serenading her with soulful melodies, and great was our fear that she- f would desert the train. f J 'ii Jr We often observed Retha Landreth turning up stones, and searching around f I among the bushes for zoological specimens. One day she returned to camp ' triumphantly bearing a large burrowing rodent. This she persistently guarded and was almost overwhelmed by grief when some impish member of the train released it. One very worthy character in our midst was Amelia Bonney. It was to- her that the love-lorn youths and maidens went for help when composing love letters . to the sweethearts they had left behind. f QN . 'W' ' Q.

Frequently she stumbled upon some bleached skull, a relic of Indian wars, and would examine it very carefully to see if it did not possess features like those of the ancient Hittites. Arnold Pearce kept the wagons cluttered up with excess pieces of furniture. He was always making weird looking objects, which he told us we could use in our homes when we finally reached our destination. Everyone suspected that he would be pretty generous about helping us furnish our nests, but that he would be sort of backward about using any of his handiwork in his own domicile. One of our wagons always drew a large crowd of interested women and girls. This was the wagon of Zelpha Bates. She was known far 'and wide for the ecstacy provoking dishes, which she prepared as no one could. - The most matrimon- ially inclined women sought the knowledge of cookery from this master artist, be- cause they were firm believers in that saying, The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. , Karl Cunningham was interested in astronomy. At night, after the rest had crawled into their blankets, he was often found by the guards out looking at the celestial bodies. If anyone wished to know anything about these shining wonders he merely had to mention the name of one and Karl would talk to him for an hour or longer. Besides knowing so much of this science, Karl gladdened every weary heart when he flashed his sunny smile. ' In Nina Cullen, everyone had a good friend and a helpful advisor. She was always cheerful, and showed the very keenest interest in every small happening. Often during the day's travel her clear voice could be heard, singing a vigorous song, which plainly showed the courage with which she faced each day's trials. Carrie Skillman was a puzzle. The younger members of the train were often thrown into spasms by her reproaches, and many of the most courageous men were known to shiver and quake when she reproved them by the wagging of a persuasive finger. In spite of her few rebukes, she was a mighty helpful guide. Her wagon contained numerous books, the contents of which delighted both old and young. When we were sad and longing for peace and quiet, we went to Carrie's wagon and found solitude in the various stories. Oh, it's true that Carrie snapped a little when we became too boisterous, but how soon we learned to know that her snaps were all fake, and that her small body contained a heart of gold. Shirley Feather was a good guide to call upon when a small exploring trip was being arranged. We also relied a great deal upon her when we ran into any Spaniards, because she was indispensible as an interpreter. Tiny Lennie Mae Ledbetter joined the train after it had traveled quite a lar e part of the entire distance. Although she was not as well known as some of the old-timers, she was well liked. The men hovered near her in order to protect her from the least hardship, and the women flocked to her side because she was so sweet. Even though she looked small and helpless, we learned that she was quite capable of managing all of those members of the train who were under her guidance. b 'Y' Page Nineteen MR. A. L. PEARCE, B.

All of them realized that it was necessary for them to agree upon certain people from whom they would take orders. After everyone had become quieted and less ex- cited over the coming trip, they managed toselect three helpers upon whom they could always rely. The first of these was Katherine Hanney, who was to help the guides watch the inexperienced travelers. In case she wearied of her job, Nell Williams f was to fill her place. W. G. Welter was to guard the valuable possessions of the f train and to keep a record of the important happenings along the way. ' J ' The competent guides first chosen were, Martha Cowan, Gertrude Zink, Rob- ert Reynolds, Albert Pearce and R. E. Morris. Because all of these affairs of the A trail were new to those who planned to make this long journey, all of the con- fidence they had was placed in these guides. ' After these preliminaries were over, everyone felt better. Now they were becoming accustomed to the newness of all things, and were beginning to feel ex- citement and the urge to move on. K Upon the next day final preparations were to be made, so everyone retired i early, in order that their minds and bodies would be fresh. f fl ff if x I fy 94 lx .r W 3 s 1, ,i if N I If l N7 Mfg e Q, , L .. r yy y if X - 42. if-sw A -i ' ' 'E' S. 4 F i f ia. ii' 1 ,III V V l 9 f V :wifi A ' Y f y , m Q I f 5536 of A I M . 1 la. lc A rf- , wff' fl' An HER I Wfz. fi . .

Preparations were being made for the long journey into New Mexico. The ring of the hammer against the anvil was heard above all the other con- fusion and noise. Many horses were tied in front of a tent which announced by means of a crudely painted sign that the owner was a blacksmith. There was a line of boys, with large horses from the old South, skinny horses from Missouri, mules from the North, and oxen from all parts, waiting for the services of the smith. Some enterprising merchant had drawn up his wagon and was putting on a sale. It seems that he was rather dubious about it reaching its destination, the South- west. Near one of the wagons stood a sturdy pioneer, a descendant of pioneer stock. Someone learned that he was one of the younger Corns, and that he had many brothers who had crossed the plains before him. He was going out to join them. The day for the departure! At last the long looked for day arrived! lt seem- ed ages before the call Westward Ho! was heard. Down the line of wagons it passed. Up and out onto the prairie mov- ed the train. Here, as far as the eye could reach were gently rolling hills, covered with grass. Every heart was light as these green hills were crossed one by one. At noon a short halt was called for lunch, then the westward march was again taken up. Mid-afternoon found us at Wil- low Creek, where Robert E. Lee suffered a catastrophe, which was nothing more than the over-turning of his wagon in the mid- dle of the stream. Because of this acci- dent he was thoroughly soused. The day passed quickly, accompanied by the music of the birds. That night everyone succumbed to un- restrained hilarity and the camp fires burn- ed late into the night.

FTER several clayis travel from Coun- cil Grove, we sighted a silver thread winding across the plain. The train moved faster, and before long we were in clear view Of the long looked for Arkan- sas River. It was only mid-aftemoon, but the train formed the circle for the night. A few hours before sundown some- thing, which looked to the travelers like a great river of black lava engulfing the plains, was seen coming down the cliffs. The scouts reported that this was a herd of buffalo coming down for water. Many were frightened at the prospect Of a visit from such visitors, but were assured they had nothing to fear as the herd was small. Several of the old hunters went across the river and lay in wait for the on-com- ing herd. As the buffalo trampled by, a hunter would stand up and shoot 'well un- der the leg Of a cow. The animal would stop, wag its shaggy mane, and seeing nothing moving, would lie down to die. The pioneers laid in a good supply of meat. Before the sun had set the herd had re- treated beyond the hills. The evening passed and the fire was banked for the night. Back and forth walked the guard of the night. When the watch had changed several times, and Lem was on duty, he saw something move among the cattle of the train. The larger animals bolted and plunged in every direc- tion. By the time Lem knew that the stampede was caused by Indians, many of the men had rolled out to see what was the matter. Two parties were quickly organ- ized-one to pursue the Indiansg the other to round up the cattle. Those who did not go with the parties did not return to bed, and some planned to turn back on the morrow. With the rising sun many of the stolen horses were recovered. The Indians were well punished for their little joke, and so the train moved westward. WXLI.IAM NEELY TI-IELMA WOODALL WILBA HOFFMAN .

No reward with out a struggle became the watch-word of tlhe train. The trouble-making people were laughed at and accepted as part of the inevitable. We were well into the flats of the midwest now. Early fall had turned them into the purest of gold in color. Each day, on all sides there was a never- ending vista of gold, while high above the matchless blue of the sky looked down upon the slowly moving train. Blue and gold were the predominate colors as we crossed the plains. Discontent had beset the train. A little after noon one day, the train was called to a stop and a mass meeting ordered to elect new officers. The guides hoped that this would put the pioneers on more friendly terms. There were many arguments and many candidates offered, but nothing was being accomplished. Finally, one wise head of the train offered the sug- gestion that a nomination committee be appointed. This suggestion was put in the form of a motion and carried out. After the committee was appointed, they were told to give their report in an hour. This they did. There was still more argument when the committee announced the candidates they had selected. Now listen here, you all, you're going to vote on these officers-and do it right, roared out a thunderous voice, and immediately there was quiet. The vote was cast, and the ballots collected. Then, under the eyes of all the voters the votes were counted by Cunningham, Vineyard, Bates, Urton, and Landreth. It was found that Verl Wilson had been elected wagon train boss, with Junior Lusk to help him, and Ted Douthitt to keep the records. Although all were not pleased with this selection, after thinking it over, the dissatisfied grudgingly admitted that those chosen were really best fitted for the jobs.

The travel of the day had been long and we were nearing the edge of the arroyo when out of the west arose dark thunder clouds, blot- ting out the sun. In a few minutes the whole western sky was covered. Teams were whipped into a run and on the bank of the arroyo the great night circle was formed. ARROYO Malo could not have been The rain began to fall in great drops, sounding like heavy gravel on the canvas of the wagons. The wind blew unre- strained fury. The rain falling in torrents caused the canvass of most of the wagons to leak where the rain beat hardest. Then like the armistice to a great battle there was a disturbing calm. The sun shown through the clouds just as it was setting. All was bright for a short while then darkness again set in. Rain fell gently all through the night. The morning was gray but the rain had stopped. Part of the time there was a slow drizzle of mist. Fires smoked and refused to bum so the travelers were down- cast. The sun suddenly came out bringing with it laughter and high spirits. Fires were kindled in order that everything could be dried. The entire day was spent in preparing the wagons for the next storm so that we would not be in a predicament, similar to the one we had just experienced. The pioneers worked hard mending the traces and fastening the canvasses more securely. Before night everything was in good shape againg the wagons were repaired, clothes were cleaned and everyone was feeling better because of the day's stop. xx LEE HENRICH ALENE GREGG LILLIAN DOUTHITT LUcY WRIGHT RUBY WATERS 1 RAYMOND WATERS TILLIE AMADOR CERTRUDE LANE GUs 0RTEz CLYDE .BURUM ELEANOR LHAMON EDWINA JOHNSTON EDNA ALLEN VELMA HINSON ALICE LYNCH EUNICE BRANAM LI-:THA Woon NELL J ONES JOHN EMMETT GLovER CHAPMAN MARY JANE ST.

No more did we have the ever-changing mir- ages of theplains to deceive us. We must now travel through the deep, dark, treacherous canyons and mountain passes. As we went into the foot-hills of the mountains the traveling became harder. The destination for our first dayls journey in these hills was Willow Bar. Margaret Foreman, prissing along at her usual rate of speed, bumped into Lor- ene. They began to speculate as to wheth- er or not the trails on the hillsides were made by cows sliding down to sleep in the valleys. Coming along about that time, Donald Mc and Lawrence met Pauline and Mona. The topic of conversation was rabbits that grew as large as antelopes. Zuma, Aledah, and Lois, bouncing along in their old wagons, poked their heads out every few minutes and yelled to hear the echoes. Crash! Bang! The racket was caus- ed by Lyda Rosels wagon bumping into Vedals and Doris'. It was found that Lyda Rose had dosed off. As the shadows were lengthening, the train crept slowly down a low wide valley. As we glanced down the slope we saw Wil- low Bar, a stunted, straggling group of trees. We quickly reached the place. Before long Wilma and Ruby sat in- tently watching the rows of buffalo ribs roasting by the evening fire. Joe and Guy hung around, ostensibly for the pur- pose of conversing, but Roberta noticed that they watched the meat hungrily. Several, namely Charles, C. J., Adolph, and Raymond, vowed to be the first to have venison stew and prepared to start the hunt the next day. Mary Margaret, Elizabeth, and Lorena were seen chasing Jack Richardson with a whip, a frying pan, and a club of wood. lt seems that Jack had attempted to secure some of the savory food they had prepared for supper. This dissension was settled by a guide. As the journey for the morrow was to take them farther in to the difficult moun- tains, the camp became quiet early in the evening.

As we ap- proached two peaks that were as like as twins, Mildred and Polly exclaimed in high squeeky voices that those peaks resembled rabbit ears. So, they were called. Ruth Porter, being tired of the mono- tony of her own wagon, climbed in with Zenobia, Helen, and Mary Louise. Mary Louise, who was driving, lost control of the horses, who were frightened by the ad- ditional weight. A bad accident resulted. At once, three cheerful pioneers, Neal, Jack, and Woodrow, jumped from their schooners and rushed to the rescue of the distressed damsels. - Dorothy, resenting the attention that her fellow companions were getting, screamed that she had hurt her finger. She bounced over to Statin and Porter, in or- der to obtain consolation. Laura and Orell began to feel pan s of hunger, so they knew that it would Ee only a short time before camp was made. Eugene, Donis, and Jack, held a con- ference to discuss preparations for the night. As a result of this conflab, Ivan was sent ahead to scout for a good stop- ping place. The members of the train were skeptical about Ivan's competence, be- cause they knew that his mind was always occupied by lines, verses, and stanzas. A healthy looking snake was bisected by one of Jane's wagon wheels. The fair driver was immediately thrown into con- vulsions. Matters regarding the reptile were made worse when Rex began to relate a number of tales of snakes that had been in similar predicaments. According to him, they usually wiggled and twisted un- til sundown. Hazel, forgetting her horror of snakes, felt very sorry for this one, which would live in a separated condition, until the sun's rays no longer fell upon it Ruth, Esther, and Leta sang to lighten the minds of their companions. Their labors were not in vain, and preparations for the night were carried on cheerfully. The quick rallying of the pioneers showed clearly the staunchness of their hearts, and, their willingness to make life gay for those around them.

D f Pale Forty-six HE next day after moving for what seemed an endless age, Our tired eyes focused upon unspeakable can- yons and mountains that scratched the heavens. Then Willie and Delmar drew reign, and passed along word that it was just two hours journey to Point of Rocks. It was there that we were to stop. JO exclaimed, Let's get On! A sec- ond to her motion was lisped by Alene, and as all were in favor of reaching their destination, the train moved on. As the schooners forced their way over the rough ground, Woodrow aIId Charles told tales of Inore treacherous passes. These stories annoyed Bernice, who was trying in spite of the rocking of the wagon, to make a new dress. As she worked, Ruby watched her jealously, for the frock was truly an artistic accomplishment. Burle sat in her wagon, poring over some faded letters. They must have been interesting, because she was deaf to the in- cessant talking of Jack. That was a mir- acle, for one had to be absorbed indeed to keep from being penetrated by Jack's ceaseless chatter. Edith, Wanda, Florence, Mary Mar- garet, and Ednahaes spent their time pian- ning the things that they would do when they reached their final destination. At last, the two hours travel was Over! Everyone hurried to get camp in shape. Now that Point of Rocks was reached, bones and muscles seemed less sore. All were looking forward to a happy evening around the camp fire. After sage brush knots had been piled on the fire and the pot lifted to the crane, everyone gathered around, and hungrily watched the cooking of the Venison stew. Margaret, Christine, and Elizabeth were experts at cooking this food. Fred, Jack, and Bill stuck their fingers in the stew. Manette, knowing that those fingers would add no valuable seasoning she and Marie chased them around camp. When the meal was ready, it received due justice from the ravenous crowd. Af- ter the stew had been consumed and things made tidy, the pioneers gathered around the fire, to tell stories. The following day was to mark the beginning of the last stretch of the trail. bc ZX kfxxl . - mfs I X it N WILLIE MCGUIRE JOSEPHINE COLLIER RUBY RYAN ALENE CONLEY DELMAR CHAMBERS VEDA DOYLE WOODROW RODDEN BERNICE KLOFANDA CHARLES HIGKSON BURLE HAMMOND WANDA RILEY JACK MADIGIN C DORIS LONG WILLIAM SWEETMAN EDITH RIDGE FLORENCE GLOCK MARY NIARGARET TIGNER CHRISTINE GREEN ELIZABETH MORGAN MARIE MERCHANT FRED ROWELL EDNAHAES BRANCH MARGARET HARRISON MANETTE GREENE JACK CLARK WNW: spa..

Slowly over rocky hills moved the train. John and Charles who had been riding in ad- vance of the train all day came riding back through the golden-red dust of the closing day urging the wagons to move on as the Rio Callinas was only a short drive ahead. As the word to move lively came along the train Sam, Warren, and Melvin broke from the regular line with their wagons which were common talk because of the many strange signs painted upon the sides. Bumping across stony hills they forged on ahead to select the best of camping places near the river. Down to the river we came and the ord- ers were to cross and make camp. The rains of the season had caused the river to swell, but in plunged the wagons. A brief struggle of the oxen, excitement for a moment-and the wagon would be on the other side. Many wagons had cross- ed. Then came Frances' turn. In plung- ed her wagong the oxen struggled, but to no avail. Fred sat down and determined to be a hero and figure it out of the creek. He had it nearly figured when Bob Santhe- son came along, dashed in on his palfrey, and rode out with the queenly maid. The remaining wagons passed without further mishap and the camp for the night was prepared. Finally, as the moon was rising in the east, Alma, Mary, Clara, Wanda, and Maria, a lively quintet, were heard singing I Wanna Be Bad. This was follzafvcid bg a 'grlppefulltoe-danEe by Pauline o an an ary ane. or an encore they gave us an interpretation of an old negro hoe down. Soon, weary with the trials of the day, the train turned to the rest of the night leaving only Preston and Buck to beat their way back and forth, with long buffalo guns over their shoulders, keeping a vigilant watch over the train. As the moon hung overhead they were relieved and the second watch began. Thus passed the night. af M R,...,,- JOHN RHEA CLARA LITTLE Soccer '27, '28:: Volleyball '27, '28: ball '27, 28: Glee Club '27, '28: Science Club '29.

Dick got out his old wagon and went cruising down through the main drag. He hadn't gone far until he managed a pick-up. Thomas in his efforts to keep an eye on Luna Faye near- ly got run over by Dick's crazy driving. Mattie Lou came up just after dusk to tell Rowena and Leona all about the new, keen-looking Spanish boy she had found down in the village. James, as usual was running around with his dad's star and playing that he was arresting all those who were celebrat- ing too much. That night the Mexican natives were to give a baile in honor of the immi- grants. As the strains of the guitars and fiddles were heard coming from the town the pioneers strolled down for a night of revelry. In all the dances Willa Dean, Betty Jane, and Dorothy made quite a hit with the native boys. They were not the only ones to shine, for La Verne caused the natives to look on in envy because he danced so well. Florence caused rivalry between sev- eral of the wagoners and villagers. Quar- reling was heard and soon a fight was started. Darrell and Walter, who had been ttppointed temporary vigilantes, soon quiete things. Catherine chewed her gum more rapidly and increased the vel- ocity of her talk to fit the pace of events. Along in the wee, small hours of the morning the less youthful had retired. Weary were the musicians, when they fin- ally played the tune of Home Sweet Home, which Nell had taught them dur- ing the evening. Thus the dance was broken up. g Back at camp came the call Roll out! Roll Out! Soon fires were going and the revelers of the night were drinking hot coffee and wondering if they would not be able to slip in a few minutes of sleep dur- ing the day. Before long the train passed by San Miguel and farewell was bidden to com- panions of the night before. The long wearisorne trudge of another day began.

As the village came into sight the im- pression received was one of indescribable coziness. The cheerful sun streamed down upon the closely huddled huts, and the river flowed lazily onward. We thought it flowed, but much to our sur- prise, when we reached it we found it merely trickled. A race to reach the village followed pronto. Joe and Bill tied, with Charles and John running a close second. Marie and Bernice went into rapturs over the cunning little adobe houses, but to Helen and Suzanne, the disconsolate burros that wandered forlornly about were more interesting. Martha, noticing the delectable look- ing peppers hanging from the roofs of the low huts, marched boldly up, and took'a generous bite from one. Immediately she became convulsed, and headed for the river. The air was suddenly rent by piercing screams, coming from Myrl and Ruth, who had been frightened by a very business- like rattle snake. Hilda Mae and Cora were deaf to the turmoil, being enamored of the constantly changing hues of the sunset. - Frances, becoming attached to some of the inhabitants of the village was persuad- ed by them to stay a spell. Frank, who had been intending for sometime to leave the train, quieted our party here. His leaving marked the be- ginning of our dispersal. At Pecos Village we began to realize that the parting of the ways was at hand. All were glad that the long journey was over, but everyone felt a pang of regret at the thought of leaving their companions of the hazardous trek. Before long the train would be divid- ing. Some would be venturing deeper in- to the wilderness of knowledge, some were lured by the call of the great unknown, and others were beginning to plan and scheme for the laying of the foundations of their new homes.

One Of the guides did not appear one morning, so U it was necessary for a searching party to be Organized. After an absence of many days the party returned with all of the missing Ones. It was learned that the guide, Shirly Feather, had become lost while chasing antelopes. That night there was a rousing camp fire given in honor of these lost Ones Of Ours. On the morrow happiness was the prevalent feeling, because the lost Ones had been found. 2+- vg ,A -4 I7 xxx .. . I ' Q O. . I If li 35' -1112, I A if W ,Pig A .,,,:f14TQ, f ,.g!,:1ff I- .

DEATON HE train had not traveled very far along the trail before we learned to appreciate the guards. There were many battles with native tribes in which the guards of the Coyote regiment proved their valor. Not all of the credit, however, goes to the guards, for they were trained by Coach Deaton. In the evenings he spent long hours toughening them up. He set up a dummy, painted like an Indian, at which the guards would rush madly. He also divided the men into two parts and they would practice fighting against each other. There were long and weary' drills but the hours were well spent. Althou h our guards were not always victorious in the combats, they always protected t e honor of the train and that of their regiment. Coach Deaton, on his first trip with the Coyotes, became so popular with the members of the train that all expressed the hope that he would remain with them. N. - ' X ' ' 'rs-.NM 4 R I ' ' ala? .

A RECORD OF THE GUARD'S ENCOUNTERS WITH ENEMIES COYOTES 0-EL PASO 31 When we were not farrout on the plains our scouts brought word that the El Pasoans were on the war path, and that they were out to revenge the beating that the guards from the Coyote Regiment had given them the year before. On the twenty-first day of September the enemy came into view. There were great num- bers of them, dressed in gay battle array. The battle began. The fight was hard and many of the guards went down before the crushing onslaught of the giants. Finally, as the smoke of battle cleared we found that we had lost the day. Because of their startling bravery Privates Peed, Williams, McDaniels and Sacra were the heroes of the day. f f,X ToMM1E ADAMS 1 Quarterback x One Year l Guard il Four Years A SAM MCDANIEL CRUSY CORKRAN pl End 4 Two Years , X , TED MITCHELL Halfback Three Years f JoE CARPENTER Tackle X One Year 1 1 w 1 pf WARREN TINSLEY H al fback One Year Xxx K, GEORGE CULLEN 'A Guard One Year STEVE SCHRIMSHER Center One Year JUnsoN GOODART Guard and Tackle One Year N x LAR Q r Ei Q' IQ . f XSS- K gs 'U f , ww f A W S369 Q ., 1 -A..- - ac' X, l 4 , 'L 1 ' . .

Out of this rode the band of Indians, known over the plains as the Bulldogs. Our guards were put into battle formation and the struggle was on. The guards drove our oppo- nents back but just as victory seemed to be looming ahead, Captain Williams was wounded. Back came the Indians for more and their attack was so fierce that we lost heart. Then, when everything was looking black, Williams again ran out on the field and turned the tide. Peed rushed through the enemies line and captured a neat Touchdown. The disheartened tribes- men withdrew from the field, leaving our guards the undisputed victors. COYOTES 0-AMARILLO 67 It was a dreary day when the guards marched from camp to make an attack upon the Sandies to the north of our camp. They entered into the attack in a high wind. Since we were greatly outnumber- ed, the first part of the battle was a de- cided victory for the Sandies. Our guards fought back strenuously and managed to make a march through the enemies' ter- ritory, only to be stopped within sight of a gain. Williams again did heroic work, and the fast fighting of Madigin, Santheson and Mitchell, made the Sandies' victory less crushing to us. COYOTES 6-TUCUMCARI 0 Down from the hills there swept a band of Tucumcari Indians, bent on plunder. The train was thrown into a riot but our men immediately put the warriors on their guard. When the guards thought that they had completely routed the Indians they came back and threatened us with defeat. Fortunately they were stopped by the com- ing of darkness and our men marched from the field victorious.

JT ,hm+-e:f:,! v COYOTES-13 PORTALES-0 We had been traveling over very rough country, when we were confronted by a band of Potatoe boys. Though the ground was bad for fighting, our guards rushed in and fought desperately. Our first gain was made as a result of a hard plunge straight through the enemy line. Our second gain came through the use of much cunning and deep thought. COYOTES-14 TULAROSA-6 We began to think that we could get a rest from fighting with war-like tribes but just as we started to breathe freely we met the men from Tularosa. These warriors knew many methods of attack and they fought fiercely to the last. Our guards fought just a bit more,,fiercely and were victorious. Williams, Peed, Corkran, and Goodart were extremely brave in this battle. Some very good gains were made by Nelson, McDonald, Mitchell, Santheson and Madigin. COYOTES-O ALBUQUERQUE-25 The tribe at Albuquerque sent out one of their scouts to challenge the train to a battle. For quite a while trains had traveled over this trail and had not been troubled by these people. The challenge was accepted, but as the guards did not know the strength of this tribe, they set out, rather doubtful as to what! the outcome of the fight would be. The challengers and the challenged met down in the Rio Grande valley and a fierce battle ensued. The Coyotes were beset by many disadvantages, causing them to finally withdraw from the field, leaving it to the victors. They fought well, but it is almost impossible to win over fate and a strong team combined. COYOTES-6 CLOVIS-13 We were in bad Indian country. The guards were well in advance of the train when they met the ferocious, half-savage Bulldog tribe from the Clovis country. It was a disagreeable day, cold and drizzling rain. The night before there had been a heavy rain storm, causing the country to become exceedingly muddy, and, as the Coyotes were unused to such conditions it made the battle doubly hard for them. The fight was furious but because of the mud and cold, it was very hard to gain ground. Many times did the guards plunge and charge into the enemies, lines. The Bulldogs, hardpressed, fell back and the guards gained a good deal of ground. This caused the enemy tribe to rally, so that when darkness brought this muddy fight to a close the Bulldogs had made a sweeping victory. COYOTES-0 LAS CRUCES-29 V It was Thanksgiving and everyone was looking forward to an exceptionally fine dinner. Unexpectedly, Coach Deaton announced to the guards that they would have to leave the train to punish the warring Las Cruces tribe who had caused trouble for the guards of former trains. This announcement caused general dis- may when the guards thought of the dinner they were to miss, but when this thought was dismissed they became eager for the battle. The two bands met. At first everything seemed to be in favor of the guards. As the fight progressed, however, the guards were swept off their feet. In the end they retreated, beaten.

The third fight was with the Artesians, the Bulldogs of the plains, who were again defeated by the scouts. Then the Coyotes saw the tribe from Lake Arthur facing them. The scouts saw that it would be a struggle to the death. Those members of the train who were unable to fight were terror stricken and all had pictures of themselves be- ing scalped. Once more the scouts claimed the victory. After these numerous battles, the warlike tribes of Indians began to feel that we were very determined, and they had to confess admiration for the extreme bravery shown by our scouts. THE LAST STAND The members of the train were wearied by so much fighting but in spite of that they knew that they had to carry on. There was another long combat in front of them. After traveling for many long hard miles the train came in sight of the land of the Albuquerque Indians. As soon as we entered the country, the news reached us that again many warlike tribes were waiting to defeat us if possible. It was necessary for us to prepare for trouble at once. When all was ready our scouts went to meet their first opponents. These braves were from Pleasant Hill. The Coyotes defeated them and felt confident that they would have a good showing in the next battle. The high hopes of the Coyotes were in vain because they were forced to retreat by Clovis. Though the Indians had been hostile they acknowledged the bravery of our scouts, and in order to show their admiration they chose Peed as a great chief. This was the Indians highest mark of favor. Though we had suffered defeat, it had not all been in vain because we finally won the respect of the Indians, and most of their feeling of belligerence was gone. We retired from the field of battle feeling tired but in good spirits. THE JUNIOR SCOUTS UCH has been said about our scouts and their bravery. Nevertheless we must not forget the junior scouts. These were also under the excellent training of A. B. Corum and they, too, were trained in the mysteries of the plain and mountain. They closely watched the tactics of the scouts in battle with the enemy and spent many hours practicing these same tactics. These junior scouts are the future real scouts of the train. Someday, and the day is not far off, they will have their chance to prove their capability of upholding the stand- ards of the train when they meet the large tribes. Already they have proven their mettle and shown that the training they have received has made them invaluable to the train. While the train was cree - ing slowly on these young scouts were busy. All along the trail they had fought with various tribes-and usually won. They were victorious over the tribes which, for some peculiar reason, styled themselves the City League. One day these young, enterprising pioneers set out for the land of the Hagermans, about a day's ride from the train, where they were to meet all the young braves from many tribes. When they arrived they found that the tribes were even fighting among themselves. This, of course, made it much easier for our scouts. The battle raged all day, and our scouts were very spectacular among the savages. The next day the scouts returned to the train-victorious! We are indeed proud of the fine record these boys have made. ' ' Page nmnyehm 1-5 . ' fu v . 1 f X J f XS,f eb-W--df12if,f A v Q A 5 xvgp fix 2 A K.

DACH Corum trained our men to GT be runners and messengers. These runners and messengers were trained in many different ways. They must know how to hurl the spear. throw 'a discus, jump over streams. jump over obstacles. pole vault, run for a half-mile, mile. as well as short distances. and. also they must be able to relay the messages from one to the other quickly. They spent many hours practicing these things so they would be able to hold their own when they met the Indian tribes. The Indians were renowned for their efficiency in such work. Mayberry was elected captain of these runners and messengers because he was the best. There were many who caused lVlayberry to work in order to keep up this reputation. Dick lVlcPher- son, Tommie Adams. Thomas and Port- er Rogers. Don Hodges. and Bill Lump- kins were close behind him and there were many others who were also in- terested in this work.

Gite letter Ulluh HE Letter Club was composed of the members of the wagon-train guards, scouts, and runners who had served the train faithfully. It was a great honor to be one of these pioneers. They were looked up to by all, for they upheld the standards of the train and protected us from the attack of maurading bands. Some- times the sturdy guards and scouts made trips and attacked before the unfriendly tribes were able to attack our train. Besides protecting the train, the members of the Letter Club occasionally put on a dance at the campfire. These were always enjoyed immensely by those who were not too weary from travel to attend them. To be one of the Letter Club, each scout, guard, and runner had to prove his niettle by taking part in a certain percent of the fights. On days when those who had proved their worthiness were initiated, all the wagoners had quite a time as the new members were dressed up and pestered by those who had been members for some time.

The Science Club! Of eourse! This was the night they were to have a meeting, as these experimental meetings oem-urred every two weeks. usually on Tuesday night. The guides, lleaton and Carothers, were at the head of the elub. They saw to it that the proper 4-hemieals and materials for the experiments were used and that no one her-ame over inquisitive and put his fingers where they did not belong. At the meetings. the phenomena of the earth and the heavens, and the whys and where-l'ores of many things, were discussed. Lectures were given, often at'- eompanied by :illustrating experiments, such as the one on this particular evening. Besides being very instructive. these meetings were always enjoyed by those who attended them. rf ll C' i -.3 .Y 7 ' 1, is '..ifFAL,: f Q f A I J . V V 3 -fe 7' 4'rt'.t:'l 1 ,. U 4 t. g , A ': ,.

Wipe Qtirplane Glluh MONG the pioneers were a few whose thoughts were in the clouds. They could often be found gazing longingly at the blue skies over which drifted fleecy clouds. and wishing they were up there. It seems that one of our guides, too, had something of the same sort of aspiration, for one day Arnold Pearce was discovered with a group of boys sitting in an old wagon, and taking turns at driving. They were surrounded hy small hits of wood and heavy paper. Upon inquiry it was found that they were attempt- ing to make something with wings, supposedly like a bird, that would fly. Kites had become too tame for them and they wished to make a machine that would fly without any strings attached to it. Much to our surprise and delight, this group, after many days on the trail, declared that at last their dream had come true. Before long small, bird-like figures -X were seen flying around in the air. The horses were exceedingly frightened by these tiny things which were called airplanes but they, like all the wagoners, soon became accustomed to having the airplanes light about them. 1 KW '-e . x - 9 X ..

One morning it was announced that the long-promised race was to be held the following day. Immediately a great hubbub arose. Everyone want- ed his particular friends to enter this great event. Trains always held a race of some sort but never before had there been one such as this was to be. There were ten things to enter-and as many as wanted to could do so. This race was entirely different from the usual run of races. When someone's name was entered his friends would collect votes for him. Votes were to count half and the race proper counted half. The senior members called a meeting. At this meeting names were put up for each entry. There were about six names put up for everything. Then the names were voted on and the one who won was the one which the seniors were to back. Of course, there were a few who voted for their friends-regardless of the fact that the oldest members were really the ones to have the honor of winning this race. As soon as the juniors heard that the seniors had held a meeting and had nominated their candidates, they called a meeting. At this assembly they nominated and voted upon their candidates. It did not seem to be quite as hard for them to agree as it had been for the seniors. The younger members of the train were almost too young to realize what it was all about so they did not manifest much interest. The day of the races! It dawned bright and clear-not a cloud in the sky. Everyone arose early and the favorite candidates were soon surrounded by their backers and admirers. The air was tense with suppressed excitement. At eight o'clock sharp the polls were opened. It was with difficulty that the ballot boxes were kept, there was so much pushing and crowding. The usual attempt was made to stuff the boxes but it was unsuccessful for the boxes were carefully guarded. Many a poor little Wagoner was cornered by some older member and told how he must vote. At ten o'clock the polls were closed and everyone went out to see the races. The track, or rather what was used for a track, was a straight, level stretch of land about two miles long. The official guides were almost ready by the time the spectators arrived. Some who had entered presented a very laughable appearance. There were little, long-eared donkeys hitched to tumble down carts and mules hitched to wagons. thorough-bred horses hitched to light carts. All were eager for the race to be- gin. Even the animals seemed to have sensed the suppressed excitement and were prancing up and down, impatient to be off. After the usual red-tape was gone through, the rifle was at last fired. Theyire off! That is, part of them were off. Some of the little donkeys refused to budge when the shot was heard, in spite of their drivers encouragements. Be- fore some, who were fortunate enough to have gotten started, had gone very far a wheel rolled off their cart or their harness broke. Such accidents happened all the way down the one mile course. There were only a few out of the large number who had started, who finished. Kee is first! Ina Mae tied! came back to those who stood at the starting point. That evening the final results were announced and a special program given around the campfire. Everyone was delighted with the results, particularly the seniors, for every candidate, except one, whom they had put up had won. .4 f s X-...M - v t s. ,-99 i nf K Us , ' .

Mr. . Carothers was advisor and when disputes arose he was often called in to give his t opinion upon the matter under discussion. At times he almost gave up in despair, but he stuck by us, knowing that eventually we would pull through. The staff 1' is indeed indebted to him for his help. I X Many a time Bill might be seen out on a rock, sketching some place along the trail which would cause the wagoners to never forget their trip. One day he 5 y decided to go off on a pleasure jaunt--so off he went. As soon as the staff learned 3 that he was gone they all joined in helping finish the art work Bill had left un- l done. The assistance of Frank Standhart was asked and it was cheerfully given. X All that day they were making lines and sketchesg the result of their work being i quite satisfactory but they were glad that he was not gone very often. l John Peed was a very busy young person. He was a member of the scouts and wagon train guards, but still found time to record their maneuvers and . encounters with the enemies. This report was very valuable to the Literary Editor. W ,l I Richard, the business manager, had to raise the money for the keeping J! y of these records. A contest was held to see which division of the train was most lx l interested in these records and most eager to possess a copy of them. This contest t.. ' was won by the Junior members of the wagon train, while we were crossing the f E mountains. The senior members were sorely disappointed but decided to make up il tx. for it in other ways, when they neared the end of the trail. Besides obtaining y li X these funds he rendered valuable assistance to the other members of the staff.

After much trying out of the different girls, Miss McNally finally an- nounced that, as far as she could determine, Viola Mennecke, and Evelyn Tinsley were physically the most perfect girls in the train. fm, 1 , gy 1:55 ., 1, , .r- ' ' -it 1399 -1 - -4.

Miss McNally had been coaching the players for some time, but she had had difficulty in obtaining a suitable place for putting on the play. Nr 9 X The story was of a boy, William Baxter, only seventeen years old, who l thought he was in love with a baby-talk-ladyf, Everyone laughed a great deal at l l the goolish antics of the boy and his lady,', as well as at William's sister, Jane. j In the end William discovered that he really wasn't in love at all, that he had X only thought he was. This caused some members of our train to wonder whether 'f they might he mistaken, too. r : The cast as they appeared: Mr. Baxter Richard Graves Jane Baxter Polly Pruit Mrs. Baxter Elizabeth Amis j William Sylvanus Baxter Tommie Adams 1 Johnnie Watson Charles Cagle X May Parcher Mary Margaret Tigner W.

The title of the play was The Prince Chap. 2 At the time the announcement was made they were just beginning to work on this play. The cast had just been selected, after many painstaking try-outs. There were many who wished to participate in this play, as it would be their last chance to prove their dramatic ability to the train they had traveled with through so much. Miss McNally finally announced the cast, which was as follows: . William Peyton Bill Lumpkins Jack Rodney E. G. Minton Marcus Runion Bruce Poorbaugh Claudia-Act I and II Janet Lee Fleehart Claudia-Act III Betty Jane Mullis Mrs. Harrington Leona Rodden Phoebe Puckers Mary Owen McCord Alice Travers Catherine Jacobson Ballington Vernon Inman Truckman John Rhea Business Manager Richard Blackmar Stage Manager Jason Kellahin Asst.

All of the girls with whom she came in contact every day became mem- X X bers of the club. X R The meetings were held in the evening, after day's work was finished, at wagon No. 7. They occurred on the first and third Tuesday of each month. p , The club was not all play, it was very instructive. They took up such topics as-Parliamentary Drill, etiquette, health, what the people of other lands eat, wear, and do in their homes, thrift lessons, and studies of professions open to p women. These topics were presented by members of the club as well as by l other speakers from the train. i The following officers were elected for the journey: l, President Helen Entrop Vice-President Clara Little Secretary Frances Little Treasurer Evelyn Brown , Parliamentarian Mildred Dunlap l 1 . I f l .X it GBr1:Iy2atra ana C5122 fllluh ,ii The musically inclined members of the train were more or less disappointed i r on their journey because their leader was fatally wounded by Dan Cupid's arrow. , I 1 A l f The musicians of the group were then left without a leader, but in spite of fi j this they furnished entertainment for us when we were heart-sore and weary after i I a hard day. T 3.1 At Christmas time hearts were gladdened by the familiar old songs, which the f. lf. gay carolers had sung from house to house in the days gone by. fy' When their director and leader left, the musicians did not practice together ll. any more for they could not accomplish very much. t li Sometimes in the evenings was hea1'd the plaintive note of a flute or the wail- ing of a saxaphone played by someone who missed the music which they loved.
