they now had the pleasure Of seeing their names in print, although at the
 time of the rehearsals they cursed all B the gods of evil and bad luck that 2 they ever "Vent Out' for the plays. We all know that such things as re- 3 hearsals for plays should be abolish E ed but we envy the participants for 2 all the fun they have at them.
 Up Co this time all had gone well. We had lost only a few of our mem bers in the snowdrifts of Norway and , several more had wandered of to the gay life of Paris during our stay in ? France. fn spite of this our explora- tiOn was very nearly terminated the night of the presentation of our
 Sophomore Plays. Bolshevists con
 spired against us and brought a bomb
 onto the stage during the presenta-
 ton of "The Crimson Coeoanut." !"
 Pandemonium reignedl Actors and
 actresses jumped under furniture.
 The audience was filled with wonder.
 lt looked bad for the Class of 1929
 just then, but the quick thinking and
 prompt action Of oar hero. Bill Sham,
 saved us from destruction--h drop
 ped the bomb into a pail of water , and all were saved. Thus you see how we rise to meet emergencies
 During this year the colors purple and gold were chosen for our official ensiens. Stella Barker and Hayden Franklin were partners in misery and served on the Traffic Council Who . knows but what their mutual suffer ings brought them together and in-
 spired the affection which they now manifest one fer the other7
 Our second year of exploration was . hard, for we were restrained rather strictly, and restrictions make life miserable for those who are not in , the habit of being under the rule and close guidance of others. As a change : and rest our third year was to be spent in England with Jolly Old John Bull. We were now Jolly Juniors and
 upper cassmeu who because
 of their supposedly superior know
 ledge and better developed intellect,
 enjoy certain privileges not held by
 the others, among which privileges . might be listed the right to sit in the front rows of the Assembly Hall and
 the duty to guide and direct the Freshmen and sophomores in the paths of righteousness,
 With our headquarters in Rooms , and s, we met and chose the follow ' ing officers for the year: Captain, , William Sham; First Mate, Eva Jane 5 Covell; Pursuer, Anne Mcdonnell , Watch Officer, Russell Sherman. Dur
 ing our stays in Rooms ' and we were under the capable and efficient guidance ef Miss Befnier and Mrs. | White.
 We held two very enjoyable func- tions while in the company Of Mir. John Bull; namely. the Halle~e' en 5 Dance and the Junior Promenade. : The class of '29 inaugurated the plan | of running the Prom" on sub , scription basis We felt and still feel that this plan is good thing. With out il the class as Seniors would have s had a lean treasury. and would have } had Co work hard to earn money to 5 defrav graduation expenses. With | it, the Senior Class was financially m 1 good condition, which fact helps a lot. 2 During our last year of exploration ' we were free from worry about where r and how the money for our gradua- ton expenses was Co come, and we 5 were free Co enjoy ourselves Co the
 fullest extent. Our Junior Prom was written down in the pages of his /, tory as a success.
 At last in 1928, the tourists who g had ventured tn 1925 and who had , followed closely their itinerary found | themselves approaching The Land of 5 Our Hearts Desire, the end of their - trin-n tour which will always be re- } membered for its pleasant associa. r tions, for the purpose it fulfilled, and , for the results which we all hope 1t 70 win bring. ln Rcom 1 under the h name of "dignihed" Seniors and with s Miss Keith as home room teacher, the - Seniors chose their officers; FhilI e Arnold, Captain; Dorothy Woods r First Mate: Aline Tourville, fursner b Sadie Simon, Watch Officer
 The Senior Play was the hrst bis e event of the year. it was presented n and when it was over we found Una g inc class had some good stage mate n rial. Adam and Eva was decld t. ed success.
