Soon a friendly guide recommended that our little friends organize to -strengthen themselves. At this meeting, they elected Tom Hilbrich, Clifford Trueblood, Lula Heath, and Loladeen Troup for their leaders and endorsed Through difficulties to honor as their motto. They chose the New Times Rose for their flower and blue and white for their colors. Soon the dreadful upperclassmen became more friendly, and then our little adventurers found life in Thunderland quite pleasant. On several long winter nights they had parties. They put on a stunt show in the Plum Creek Revue. They got permission from the Thunderland authorities and had a Hobo Day. In their first year in Thunderland, our little friends had a basketball team of their own. This privilege had never been granted before and has never been given since, even though the team was quite successful. Before they knew it, lack and Iill had been in Thunderland for nine whole months. That ended our first chapter. Some of their leaders having been killed off in the first battle, our little friends chose new offi- cers: Tom Hilbrich, President: Bill Ellison, Vice Presidentp Norman Little, Secretary: and Robert Iones, Treasurer. When the upperclassmen had their carnival, our little friends presented a style show of fashions that were worn outside the gates of Thunderland. The audience was especially interested in the bathing beauties C?l In most Thunderland Stories, out little adventurers don't get their sweaters until the third chapter, but lack and Iill and their pals got impatient, and so they bought theirs in the second chapter. These sweaters were flashy blue ones with white letters and numerals. By now, Thunderland had toughened the kiddies up and the girls walked off with the softball championship. The boys, not to be outdone, and also toughened up by the rigorous Thunderland life, walked off with both the singles and doubles ping pong championships. Having had a not-so-active second year in Thunderland, our little friends were in the pink at the start of this third chapter of Adventures in Thunderland, or Through the Candy Wrapper . Again our little Iuniors and lack and Iill staged an election. This time Art Brophy came through as President: lack Crawford, as Vice Presidentg Lillian Thiery, as Secretary: and Bob lones, as Treasurer. This being their third year in Thunderland, the little adventurers were now ready to embark upon a great adventure-riding a cloud of fluffy white pop corn, they rode through the candy wrapper into a lovely world of nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars. After they had been in this lovely mercenary world for several months, our little Iuniors came down off their cloud of pop corn long enough to have a variety show along the way. Meanwhile, lack and fill and their pals were in training, and when our little Iuniors met the Seniors in battle on the basketball floor, they were able to win both tournaments. Soon after the armistice, our friends had a dance and contest for the election of the queen of the battle. By now our little pals had found treasures aplenty, but were these little men and women selfish? No.-They used this money to entertain the Seniors, whom they had learned to love and respect. Yes, they gave them a luxurious banquet and prom. Are you sleepy yet, kiddies? Your old Uncle Archie is. Don't forget to listen in tomorrow night to hear lack and Iil1's further adventures in the mystic county A of Thunderland. Tomorrow Uncle Archie will bring you the fourth and final episode- Through the Sheepskin . Until then, nitie nite! 18
