. T ffm- R -srfvvf' C L A S S P R O 1915 E C Y' - ' Our train will be pulling out in exactly ten minutes. What a scramble! There has been just time enough to round up our gang in response to the orders to give s performance at each of the United States Naval Stations. Getting the troop together has been no easy job, but now that it has been accomplished, I can spend these last few minutes reviewing in my mind each member of the company, thinking of rehearsals, and watching each mem- ber as he arrives ready for emberketion. This work has taught me to take each moment offered and make the most of it either to relax and rest or to do things for my- self. Most of our group realize this fact too for they are now seasoned troopers. Our director, Mrs. James Swan, once known as Wilma McClellan, who arrived early this evening in order to make personal arrangements for transportation, is giving last minute instructions to each one as he arrives. She has won wide recognition for being 'able to give such vsriod and acceptable entertainments. New that her hus- band, Second Lt. Jim Swan, is a member of the air corp she spends all her time personally directing these per- formences. She depends Miller, who is fortunxte in he been playing in a concert in New s greet deal on our pianist, Juno Ann alwdys sblo to draw e good hand. We are ving June with us on this trip.

son who gave up her work as n nurse to become an enter- tainer. It was not until Pauline joined up with them that they took the name of the nFive Jive Sisters.' Re- cently they have been worrying again for Doris Eslinger, a nurse in training with Pauline, has decided to give up nursing also and become en entertainer. ' Another part of our entertainment that is very good is that given by our magician, who by his clever way of doing crazy things gets plenty of laughs, and roaring epplauses. Phillip Davies, our magician, was a student at Yale studying astronomy, but he decided being a ster would be more exciting than studying stars. Must be about time to board train now for there goes our business manager and bookkeeper, Mrs. Henry Hoesmnn, over to the director for final report. Mrs. Henry Hoes- msn, who was formerly Pauline Kirk, gives us as much time is she chn spare away from her husband who is a surgeon in the St. Anthony's hospital at Chicago. There goes the Boys' Quertetto carrying e large share of all luggage and singing as they go. These boys, Don' eld Davie, Nor en Puckett, Bob Swan, and Lester Irons have been singing together since high school days at Union. W ' Noise and confusion of trying to findi places on the crowded train drives all other thoughts from my mind for awhile, but at lest all passengers are abroad, the Lim- ited pulls out of the St. Louis Station and we are on our way. Our first step will be the Greet Lakes Naval Training Station Zt Chicago. Although the train is crowded and the trip most tire- some, we find ways to-amuse ourselves. Securing lunch for the entire troop was no easy job for Pauline, but she seemed to make everyone happy. Finally the hours pass wc learn that the train is pulling into u Chicago station. A gliipse from my window reveals the crowds of people. I know that some are boarding trains to leave, some from other destinations are arriving seconds ahead of us, and some are waiting for friends to arrive cr are hero to seo friends leave. When the train stops, we are glad to get off and try to make our ways through the crowds of people. Our des- tination new is the hotel where reservations have been made. This should mean refreshments and rest before our - 1Q -
