The Voyage
Last eptember,
As you will remember , The Irving hip ~et sail. And the route in mind vVas "itself to find",
A vopge that could not fail.
In June , all could see that a voyage begun \Vith the IrYing ship is a voyage done. Lincoln High School in port was seen, And much of the city's bright luster and sheen; But "·hat cared ,Ye for this luster and ,nalth? The Irving ~hip had found herself.
Last eptember ,
As you " ill remember, The Irving hip et sail; And the route in mind \Vas "itself to find ,"
A voyage that did not fail.

The door ope ned a nd ano ther girl appeared. " Oh , Leah , did you thin~ 1 I \\ ·as ne ver coming home?
" Dean S" ift ,ns driving the bus . Yes , sir; he chose th a t voca ti on so that he could say 'fare lad y' with o ut being embarrassed " he pulled off her hat , di closing a beautiful w a, e. " You'll never gue s where I got my marcel. At John K o ' s ' Be au t e Shoppe. ' L o uise P err~ · and Dor :s D o an are workin g there. "
"Calm yo ur elf , Mary Lou , a nd let me say a few ,,·o rd " Bett y B aker just called and a id that he a nd V. Dame,v oo d are here for an interior decorator ' conventi o n. They 've just fini s hed decorating a bachelor s' club in Omaha , " here Jame s Mickey, \V allace De Brown , and Kenneth J ones are s taying.
"O h , by the way , we ' re goi n g to the 'Gra nd Opera ' t onig ht " ith l\ilary Tobin and Je a n Beachl y. They're here for the convention , too."
The t\\·o girls heartily agreed th at they should dres s for dinner.
" a , ! I ordere d th e dearest lavender taffet a for th e 'o pera ' th: s eve ," broke 111 teah. '' I go t it at Irving W oo d 's 'Ex clusive Dress h o ppe. ' ''
" I just heard the paper come; go and ge t it. "
Leah proceeded t o do so As she unfolded it she exclaimed, ' 'Listen to thi s hea<lline :
"' JOHN BUNDY! FAl\10 ~EW YORK DRAl\1IATIST Wl~ ' FA:\IE IN MOVIES. '"
Their heads bent over th e paper until they had read the entire article
" What 's thi s? It says th a t Marj orie Corri n g t on i h is leading lady ," burst for t h 1,Iar y
The girls comp l e t ed their toilet s without further interruption.
" Oh , say, Leah , I brou g ht a Lit e rary Di gest home. It had s uch a good cartoon hy D a rrell fulligan that I . imply had to get it; you remember him? That littl e boy ,vho used to make s uc h good car toon in l\1i s H arris' ninth grade art class . Here , I ' ll find it for you. I n ' t it a sc ream? "
That evening th e four young " ·omen , Leah , Jean. Mary, and 11ary Lou , sa t " ·a t ching the opera intently , for ,vho sho uld be t a kin g the lead but Edith Haynie , th e leading man being Ru ssel Morrison Jean Wilhelmy had the second lead , " hile Laura Kimball and Harriet Toren took prominent parts
Jack Cassity w as director of the accompanying orches tr a. Sol tine, :Marjorie Seaton and Louise P owell ,Hre among the leading viol ini st s, Hubert arnsel played t he clarinet, " hile Louise Corn tock and Katheryn Murray played the cello
The morning da,rned brigh t and clear and th e g irl s had a busy day before them.
Leah was going to paint Profe ssor Alfred harrick 's portrait.
" I hear he lo o k s very distinguished " ·ith his goatee , " said Mary L o u.
[PAGE THIRTEEN]
IRVING JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Presently there "·as a knock on the door, both girls rushed to open it and then on the threshold stood Professor Sharrick.
Before starting on the portrait, he told of some of his recent experiences. "I have been studying abroad for the last year," he began. " While I was there I met Jane Edwards, who was taking a vacation after helping compile a new English Dictionary."
The morning passed s"·iftly away as "Al" told stories of the things he had seen and heard while abroad.
" Oh, dear, here's one of these silly old almanacs , " said Leah that afternoon as :-he tossed it to one side.
But Mary rose from her comfortable chair and picked it up , for she always en_:oyed looking at all kinds of odds. "Old almanac! What do you mean , " she exclaimed. "This says Hanks 'Grow Tall' compound."
"What! Old Allan Hanks! I always said he'd invent something sometime to make short people grow taller."
"Oh ," laughingly , "he offers Howard Wheeler as proof; he says that after taking ten bottles, he has grown two inches."
The next day was the fair.
Leah Carlsen, who is now editor of the Societ,· of the Stat e Journal, and Harriet Hagen , editor-in-chief of the A1 cCalls JH agazine, ~ccompanied the girls.
"Oh, girls , I heard from Marian Gugenhiem and Eugenia Levy, and you can't guess what they've done , " remarked Harriet excitedly , on the \\·ay to the fair , "opened up a bus line in China!"
Isn ' t that just Jeanie for you, " said Leah Carlsen , bubbling over " ith laughter.
As the four entered the main tent, there \\ as Georgia Kilgore performing on the tr,,peze , with Beverly Finkle riding around the ring on a grea sed pig.
In one of the side-shows, much to their surprise , wa s Charles Faughn , the skinnie s t man in the world.
A s they entered the stock barn they noticed an especiallr fine head of cattle. After inquiring as to whose it was, they found that it belonged to no other than Roma De Bro\\ n, who no,.Y owns a ranch in Wyoming.
Of course the girls watched the races in "·hich Bob McKinly and \,V endall Simmons were competing.
After watching Josephine Darrow , the famous aviatrix , do some of her stunts , it was called a day and the young ladies returned to their apartments.
The following morning Charles Gruenig called. "I'm here on a case , " he said , for he is now a lavvyer in Hollywood.
"Birkner Rawlings has gone to Annapolis. I can't think of any reason for him doing so, unless it's so he won't have to meet any women."
On the afternoon of the same day the girls met Milton Borgens , a noted athlete and manager of Algerreta Oblink's girls ' football team , ,Yho was here making arrang ements for a game.
That evening Leah and Mary Lou spent planning a future trip across the Atlantic which they wished to take , hoping they might meet more of their old classmates , in the one hundred and one passenger plane to be pi loted by Hugh Rathburn.

SCHOOL-LIFE
IRVING JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
School Life
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull bor."
Pe ople in the educational ,vorld are a\\·are of this fact. The so-called grind is completely abolished , although some misinformed students still think that it is in existence.
Our grandparents and parents \Hre t aught the three Rs in a very uninteresting manner. Now there are so many engaging methods of teaching reading , 'riting and ' rithmatic that we do not realize that \\·e are being taught these fundamental
While we eat in a modern cafeteria, our mothers and tathers carried a little blue bucket with hard boiled eggs , perhaps an apple, and some sandwiches in it. While \Ye si t at desks th at are in everywar means of convenience and comfort , they a t in a smoke filled room on small , rough benches, trying to work their sums on dusty slates Teacher , being a human person, sometimes got out the hickory stick and Tom , Dick or Harry, and maybe Sally , suffered for their sins.
We in our modern schools do not realize that "·e are having everything possible t o make our lives successful and happy. Music , art, literature and all of the finer a!"t , are taught us. If we do not make life worth " hile it will not be the fault of our mothers and fa th ers or those supporting the school , but ourselves.
-L eah Carlsen , 911
Schools
We a re back one hundred yea rs ago
In a small clearing st ands a small log cabin. The cracks between the lo g s ar e stuffed with moss and mud. A rough clay chimney projects over one end of the roof.
Winter. Inside is a bedlam of confusion. At four log benches , two in a ro\\·, s it t\Hnty children. They are all studyi ng aloud-each one a different lesson.
The schoolmaster paces in front of the room. H e is t all and thin , and \Years a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles over his nose. Hi s de sk is a large wooden slab On it are several books , a long ruler , and quills and paper. • 1
Few books or maps-hard benches-a log cabin. This was the school of one hundred years ago.
Do we ever stop to think hO\v much more we get out of school life than tho se who went before us and made it possible? We ne ver appreciate what \\ e have until we find it rare.
