fl o v=WHo v mechanics in Windsor, but they cannot be compared with the ones who did the work for us on that stop. It would have been three days’ work for those workmen, but they did it in three minutes. By this swift work, we were delayed only five minutes. As we traveled on, we passed many small planets, and we were near enough to the moon that I waved at the man in it. He seemed pleased to see us, as he waved his hat at us as long as we could see him. We knew now that we were nearing the end of our journey as we could see smoke from many tall buildings, so we began to look for a parking place. It was not hard to find, for one of the most beautiful countries we had ever seen lay be-fore us. The trees were of an enormous size and were covered with beautiful blossoms, some of which would have measured ten feet across. The leaves were used by the natives to make roofs of their houses. Two of these leaves would cover the largest house in Mars. There were also many bright colored flowers, some of which were fifteen to twenty feet in height, with some of the most beautiful colored blossoms I had ever seen. We saw several birds flying about. The smallest ones were as large as an ostrich and we learned they were song birds. In a nearby house we found a broadcasting station to which we went at once, and the Reverend Burns sent word back to our many friends that we had arrived safely and would start on our duties as missionaries, at once. But alas for our good attentions! We were attacked by a dozen or more of the natives, who liked the taste of missionaries. We learned that the smoke from the tall chimneys was where they were cooking the unfortunate ones. We left our work unfinished and fled for our biplane and made the trip home in time for supper. —Margie Rose, ’27. OUR TEAM Coach “Jobey” and our captain, They, who led our boys to fame, Worked with taithful loyalty, With the highest goal their aim. Then “Bus,” our wonder player— He was known the whole state o'er; Folks watched him with amazement When his plays rolled up the score. Then Kearney, small but mighty, With his plays so swift and keen— We’re glad he was a member Of our famous Windsor team. And “Bo,” our long armed center, Always ready on the floor To do his bit in helping Windsor’s team run up the score. “Jit” kept our opponents down, Under his stern control, And broke up tricky passes When they tried to make a goal. We as a school do thank you For the honors you have brought, And always will remember The hard battles that you fought To keep our colors waving, And to win for us a name To rank with those of ethers Who have worked their way to fame. How well you have succeeded! How well your work was done! And now your fight is over, And oh, team, coach “Jobe,” You’ve won! —Wilda Grider, ’27.
