THE ODYSSEY OF 1920 1916- 17. Twenty-three Freshmen started on a wonderful adventure. Just where this journey would lead or what would happen on the way — we could only surmise. This much we knew, the journey would last four years, along with many other travelers who had started before us and still others who should join us later and that there would be guides on the way. Most of the Freshmen explored the legions where the guidebooks of English, Algebra, General Science and Latin led. Jos. H. Blose was chief guide. Florence Hadley ' s guide-book led to the heights of English, that of Clara Kendall thru the valley of Latin and with Rob- ert Fisher we explored the fields of General Science and Algebra. However, Mr. Fisher left us at the end of the first semester and Marie J. Smith piloted us the remainder of the first year ' s journey. Another guide was Roy Wollam who showed us the realms of Bible Study. Of course, not all the time was spent in exploring, for we had many chances to play. Many of the freshmen boys took an active interest in basketball and baseball. So that those who were farther along the road had to recognize our ability. Along toward the last of our journey for that term, there came the announce- ment that the Academy was going to enter the Inter-academic Contest. There would be a try-out among all travelers in the Academy for the pnrpo-e of sending two representatives, one for oratory and one for declamation. Accordingly, the Freshmen set to work. The result was that Julia Pierce, erne of our class, went as a declaimer and won. How we Freshmen rejoicM ! Our journey was nearly over for that term. What an experience we had had and how we had enjoyed it ! There was only one happening to sadden us ; we lost, in the death of Margaret Rife, one of our jolliest and kindest classmates. In memory of Margaret we wish to quote these lines of Mrs. Barbauld : So fades a summer cloud away, So sinks the gale when storms are o ' er, So gently shuts the eye of day, So dies a wave along the shore. 1917- 18. In September of nineteen seventeen, nineteen of our former companions came back to take up the journey. Nellie Booth and Estelle Denney joined our ranks. For this lap of the journey we were to go by the name of Sophomores. Just why it was we could never figure out. In the first year ' s travels we had liked certain things better than others. So that on this trip, according to our individual natures, we were not all going to ex- plore the same things. Of course, we resumed English again with Florence Hadley. She often gave us quotations, one of which was: The hours are yours twixt dawn and night, and since that youth ' s sure aftermath is memory — use the day aright. This was Miss Hadley ' s way of saying that we would get out of our journey just what we put into it.
