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
