THE JOURNEY THROUGH THE LAND OF EDUCATION Way back in pioneer days, 1920 to bo exact, a group of pioneers started on a journey. The first part of the journey was made up of nine laps, and the last of four. Each lap of the journey was guided by a new leader of the caravan. Of those'pioneers who started on this dangerous journey, only three have been successful. They are: Evelyn Erillhart, Leonard Rosakrans, and Mary Spradley. They were hailed in the midst of their first lap of the journey, under the capable driver. Miss Peterson, to take lone Riley aboard. Miss Campbell met the caravan on the second lap and continued the journey. The third lap was taken’by Miss Griffin, who drove the caravan into more dense jungles of education. The caravan was stopped on the next lap by Katherine Fitzsimmons, who decided to go along the trail. The roads were getting rougher and had it not been for Miss Burnham and Miss Bock, the careful drivers, some of them might have fallen out to be picked up by the next caravan. Eithel Tucker joined when the leaders were changed from Miss Burnham to Miss Bock. It seemed as though more and more were eager to join the group. Under the leadership of Miss Miller, in the ourth lap, Alvin Story joined and when guided by Miss Evans, Clair Kleine joined the mighty pioneers in their struggle for their goal—higher education. During the trip under the guidance of Miss Bush, the pioneers gained and lost one member. Josephine Olsen joined them and Leonard Rosakrans decided to continue the journey on another route until the next year. Under the leadership of Miss Sandusky, he rejoined and Oren Hendrix also joined. The first part of our journey ended triumphantly with ten pioneers in the caravan; A fork in the road V7as reached, and here the caravan was met by others from adjoining roads. Those who joined were: Laura Baum, Lorine Bentzsinger, Gretchcn Boatman, Wesley Collins, Doris Doolittle, Almeta Ernst, Irene Kahn, Francis Miller, Leona Miller, Bernice Mor-' rissey, Martha Ramsey, Miriam Russell, Margaret Hunter, Don McCoy, Bernice Packwood and Leonard Burlington. The first year of this part of the journey the caravan was led by Miss Yont. Mr. Richards gave them his worthy guidance through the second year. The journey grew more difficult under Miss Muir's direction, and a new member, Imogenc McFerrin, was added. In the last part of the journey four new ones were added: Miriam Butler, Mauryne Thompson, Lillian Brunnei’ and V illard Russell. Here the road grew smoother. The goal of '32 v,ns in sight. V7e arc proud of the thirty-one hardy pioneers who were strong enough to battle the hardships ih the Prairie Schooner in their sucessful attempt to reach the goal. 4 ---------------------------------
