Sue Tillett, and Taly Walker, sleepily be,:tan a .iouriiey north on the morning of June 20 at the early hour of 0 :.?0 o’clock. “Fanny the Flapper,’’ Miss Miss Til- letfs cnr. was to tlap to her heart’s content on this four-thousand mile trip, for to (piote Miss Tillett, “Fanny cer tainly flapped.’’ Following the Susquehanna Trail through the Finger Lake district of New York and by Yellowstone Trail, Fanny carried the three to Niagara. Miss Tillett says Switzerland can’t excell the Finger L;tkes, so clear and blue is the water. Gettysburg This family says their most interest ing visit was at Gettysburg. An ex tensive tour was made of the field. The trio was amazed by the many markers, the prettiest being Virginia’s nieinorial to Uobert 10. Lee. The field overlooks the site of ‘TMcketfs Raid.’’ ’I'hey also saw the site which has been chosen by North (''arolina for its memorial. The Susquehanna Trail which fol lows the Susquehanna river gave the travelers beautiful scenery and an ex cellent highway. Niagara Falls Nigara Falls delighted these visitors. It was awe inspiring, and Miss Tillett says she felt as though in the presence of some great monster. The falls im pressed upon her “The power of God and llis goodness.’’ After the week end at the Falls, they took a boat trip to Toronta. During the tri]) a terrible storm raged. IMiss Tillett was sea sick, and Miss Walker was the only woman on deck. Arriving in Toranto the trio started oif to view the city; almost before they could start, a man walked up to them, saying. “Best barroom in town, just around the corner,” Toranta, they sa.v. is a beautiful city. From Niagra they traveled the Cher- r.v i'alley Trail and woe be to the own ers. the cherries were ripe. Their next sto]) was Syracuse, and then south to Albany. The cai)itol was visited, but Governor i^mith. being out of town, failed to receive his distinguished guests. Mountain Scenery Leaving Albany they went throuvh the Adirondai'k Mountains. Lake (ieorge and r,ake ('hamplain were vis ited. Grossing Lake George the.v went into Vermont, where they struck “hor rible” roads. Here their coupe gave them trouble for a day ami a half. They labored jiatiently and finally riaiched Massachusetts. On .Tuly 4 they arrived in Cambridge. The colleges \\-ere visited and Misses Laura Tillett and Idly Walker attended Harvard. While at Harard they made several week-end trips, one time visiting White Mountains. Hawthorn's “Old Man of the Moun tains” and the famous “Indian Head” were objects, of interest to our visitors. After their Harvard education the visitors traveled on to Portland Maine. Historical places, a Lindbergh crowd and birthplace of Longfellow were vis ited. From 7’ortland the trio went to Cambridge where the homes of Long fellow. Louise Alcott, Emerson and Hawthorne were visited. Another intG'resting week-end tHp was to I’lymouth. Misses Lesley and (^aldwell, in their Ford were encoun tered here. The size of Plymouth Rock was so much smaller than expected that the visitors were almost dismayed. Homeward Bound The trip homeward started as our trio came through Providence and New EXCHANGES THE TEACHER’S LAMENT It’s hard to be a tea-her, On that you may rely ; I want to be a student, A student live and die.
