■x THE TQMRHRV K Class History I enter a large library and making my way to the shelves loaded with book of travel, I take one volume from among the many and note the title: “The Class of 1928—Its Journey Through the Land of Education.” As I glance at the introduction, I find that six people listed there are about to start a trip through thirteen countries. They are: Frances Artz, Elizabeth Watteyne, Anthony Artz, Harold Hill, Mervin Kuhlman, and Dwyer Brill-hart. Miss Gamble gave them their start on the journey. In their second land where Mabel Campbell was the queen, Janet Rowand, Raymond Casford. Dean Philpott and Floyd Spradley were added. The border line into the adjoining country was crossed in 1918 and there they found Princess Edith Stewart. They met here Mary Hervey, Elizabeth Sappenfield and Thomas Stephens. Marian Townsend welcomed them into the next region, where Mervin Kuhlman strayed from the party and was lost for several years. In 1920 they traversed the next country where Miss Bush was Czarine. They later toured Queen Mayme Miller’s realm. The course was rough and hilly and Frances Artz was lost. In the land of “Dohner” during 1922, another member of the party strayed away, Anthony Artz. Jennie McAuliffe joined them for the rest of the journey. They were very glad to be welcomed into the neighboring country by Czarine Bush. She had travelled upward to meet them again. Esther Jobst joined the group there. As they entered the next land. Lady Sandusky proved to be a most efficient guide and with her help they surmounted the hills that separated them from the great High School region. In 1925 a large number was added. Emma Albers, Gertude Souders, Wilma Jacka, Edith Muncy, Alice Schmiegelow, Lucille McClanahan, Madge Bates. Helen Harris, John Turner, Milton Bates, Hilda Jochim all came in. Mervin Kuhlman, Frances Artz and Anthony Artz again travelled with the class under Miss Enyeart. 1926 found them under Miss Turner. Elaine Oliphant became a fellow traveler. In 1927 Charles Morrissey. Pauline Curtis, Edith Searl, and Elizabeth Ward cast their lot with the group and were led by Phyllis Walters and Betty Gift. The journey was almost ended. Margaret Gilmore and G. B. Ray joined making a total of thirty-five. King Halsted was the guide. The close of the journey found them dined and entertained and in their possession a diploma—the reward for their perseverance along the hard road. I close the book. The history is a memory and our hope is that those who may explore these lands hereafter will find as much enjoyment as the Class of 1928. —E. W. Page Twenty-three
