Keenly aware of the need for efficient homemakers, Miss Philbrick and Miss Waterhouse have worked diligently with some of the fair sex in our train, im- parting to them many a secret of the cook stove and sewing machine. Miss Philbrick's interested disciples organized themselves into a club known as the Future Homemakers of America, .spending much of their leisure time in activities aimed at increasing their proficiency. However, on our journey we learned that it wasn't only good food and clothes that make the man, but that a good physical condition as received from daily exercise was essential also. To Miss Flemming and Mr. Nunan was designated the task of seeing that we kept all muscles in full tone. How well we remember their coaching in the skirmishes with enemy wagon trains fought over possession of a basketball! PAGE 13

Among us voyagers were the manual craftsmen of the future. Under the surveillance of Mr. Cote and Mr. Gorrie, these apprentices gained the knowledge intrin- sic to the trade. Mr. Pascucci and Mr. Lamb guided our craftsmen in the final stages of their apprentice- ship, producing expert machinists. XVe fellow travelers were not oblivious of the fine contributions made by these apprentice craftsmen and their instructors in the successful junior Prom held during the course of our journey.

FOLSOM MARJORIE VALLELY Naturally, en route, the various constituents of the wagon train experienced humorous, sad, unforget- table adventures. Mr. Towle, renowned journalist and humorist, aided us in compiling these various news items into a journal called The Red and I'Vhite, which was presented to the student body each month. A detailed and interesting history in word and picture of the entire journey prepared under the supervision of Miss Proctor was also made available. To Miss Folsom we looked for Final instructions in the communication arts and were treated to beautiful examples of the power of the written word as set down by our forefathers across the sea. It may be noted that Miss Folsom exhibited an exhilaration equalled only by that of us recruits when Miss Vallely produced her highly entertaining plays by the evening campfire. Though we were far away from the professional stage, we felt that we could not pos- sibly see better acting than that done by our fellow travelers after weeks of training by Miss Vallely. The nights she presented her plays are indelibly im- pressed upon our memories.
