30 RODEO—RHS— 1930 TRAVEL CLUB N October 14, 1929, the Travel Club set sail on the S. S. Roundup for a tour around the world. After the usual vicissitudes—late trains, tardy members and sea sickness—the group finally arrived in England, where it made its first stop. Here is visited the Lake District, which is the home of Southey, Wordsworth and other poets, and Strat- ford-on-Avon, which was the home of Shakespeare. In London the London Tower, the Square, and the Government buildings arrested the attention of the club. Having made the journey so far by land and water and, being great be- lievers in variety and its zest-giving qualities, the group tried earth’s third composition, took to the air, and flew to Paris. Here everyone, particularly the girls, purchased new finery before going further down the Champs Elysees to sight-see. The letters home told inter- esting tales of the Arc de Triomphe and the king’s magnificent palace at Ver- sailles. After France, Germany was next in line and then Italy, especially Florence and Venice. Gossip has it that the ro- mance of the soft lights and the gondolas of Venice did for some of the members of the party what spring in America is fabled to do for a young man. She tells us that it was at this point m the journey that the romance of Annie Evans and Raymond Smalley reached its climax. And it is even said that Albert (Birdie) Rundle and Winnifred Hennebry suc- cumbed to the arrows of Cupid. From Europe the tour went on through the Suez Canal to India and thence to China. The Great Wall made a great mpression on the travelers’ minds as did the story of the drought-devastated ter- ritories of Ransee and Shense. A very unfortunate accident occurred here when Albert Rundle was sidetracked and only through the enlistment of the aid of sol- d ers was he reclaimed. You may be sure that after this experience and the one in Venice that he was closely guarded against further mishap. After Japan the islands of the Pacific such as the Philippines, the Samoans, the Hawaiians, were visited. From there the club ended its tour by taking the boat through the Panama Canal back to New York. The purpose of the Travel Club was to promote interest in the customs, cities and people of other nations. Not only did the club have reports on countries, but it also had parties. A Christmas party was held at Albert Rundle’s home and a large party was given at the high school. Much credit is due Miss Cruick- shank, the sponsor, for the success of the club.
