Hisfofzmf A FOUR YEAR VOYAGE On a morning in September in the year 1946, a group of boys and girls gathered in Shattuck High School to embark on a four year voyage to distant lands of strange and wondrous sights and experiences. This voyage was to be a personally conducted tour in charge of Superin- tendent W. E. Gourley, assisted by Principal Ralph Thain, Mr. W. C. Jones, Miss Eloise Taylor, Mrs. Lina Nicholson, also Mrs. Miriam Colbert, and Mr. Willard Bradley. The tour included, a nine months stay in Freshman Land. None in the tour had ever visited this land before but had reports of its green fields and delicious foods from other travelers who had once voy- aged there. During our stay, we became acquainted with the wonders of Al- gebra Labyrinth, and a few became so entangled in its intricacies that they never rejoined the party. Others spent much of their time in English groves where they made the acquaintance of masters of eloquence and were treated to feasts of roots, diagrams, verses, and book reports. Many entered Spanish Peninsula and enjoyed the peculiar delights to be found there. A few were lost in the fourth conjugation and ablative absolute and had to remain two years before they found their way out. Some were charmed with the delights of General Science Mountains. A few of the weaker ones never succeeded in surmounting all these barriers. All were required to explore Citizenship Caverns. This proved not too difficult for most. Many enjoyed every hour of their stay and roamed among these treasure places. They were allowed to have for the taking all the gems, jewels, or tolls they found and desired. The guide of the tour wisely supervised our recreation and protected us from occasional attacks of noisy creatures called sophomores who invaded the Freshman Land. At the end of the nine months sojourn, passports were issued to enable us to leave on the next cruise to Sophomore Island. After a summer of fun, a somewhat smaller group assembled to embark for the lark on Sophomore Island. The guide of this trip was Willard Bradley . Many of the assistants on this tour were the same as those who had looked after our needs in Freshman Land. Our band of students landed at the island filled with enthusiasm. Some hastened to scale Geometry Heights and found there pleasures of sight and intellect. A few did not like the rough going and deserted the group at the first opportunity. Many found keen pleasure in digging into the historic mounds. Here they discovered the records of the lives of many great men. All of the group were forced to take a sail on English Lake with Mrs. Nichol- son and to take frequent plunges into Oral Bay of poetry interpretation. A few of the more active occasionally tried to sneak across the narrcw channel to Freshman Land and annoy the natives there. but the guide quickly quelled these attempts. The assistant was always com- plaining of the atmosphere of Sophomore Island which seemed to affect the in- habitants with a form of hysteria which manifested itself in the victim by much shouting, laughing, and whispering. The victim was never conscious of these manifestations in hirnself until he had left the is land when the disease disappeared. The assistant also complained that the travelers were more interested in themselves than in the treasures to be found on the island. A few liked the island so well that they were granted a permit to remain for a second season. A few remained in the employ of a Mr. Caesar who hired them to build a bridge.
