Ryan made a few brief announcements and the assembly adjourned by singing the school song. TRIP TO COAST On the week-end of April 14 the senior commercial class vacationed to Oceanside on the coast and caused the solitude of the sea lions to become mythical. Two cabins were rented and the stenographers im mediately unpacked and dived into the arms of Nep tune, remaining there full time, emerging only for meals and to take a casual look at the scenery in the immediate vicinity. During these intervals the mighty mountains and rock caverns were thoroughly explored. On Sunday morning a select party of endurable persons hiked over deserts and mountasns to visit a light-house. Pansy Rutherford took all honors as champion mountain climber; Miss Cruise as best mountain de scender; “Egg” Conway, the camp’s hash slinger; Irene Thomas, the biggest loafer; all other awards were divided equally. After allowing the ocean and sand to “get in their hair” for two days the party collected their starfish and other belongings, climbed into the “Salem Indian School” truck and came home.
