By Charles Schutt '58 The only adventure I can think of was last Spring Vacation when my sister went back to school o Our nurse and I took my sister to the station. It was a bright and sunny day and we were all in a solemn mood. We both hated to go back to school. It was fifteen minutes till tro.in tiie when my sister asked me. 11 Have you -:ny ticket,1 11 1 :.: ·•! plied. "No, don't you have it?" Then everything became frantic. I remembered it took ten minutes to go from the station to ot,r house. 1Ne had thirteen minutes to go till the train pulled in. I said "Lets try to get the ticketii,, •re hopped in the station wagon and took off. I asked my chauffeur, "How fast can you get throughttown?" He replied, "As fast as the red lights can change". We hit about eighty in some places going through town and went through four red lightso Upon arrival at the house we had five minutes to go. Rushing frantically into the house I began the search for the ticket. There was no ticket in rny sister's room . I finally found it on my mother's desk. We had four i inutes to ~o. I hopped 'in the car and we tore off for the station. As we ~ot in town I spotted a police car. He was going in the s •:. me direction as we were and stopped at every red light. Two minutes to ~o. We were ~etting no where fast. so I told the policeman our troubles and asked him for a police escort. He said "o.K.n and started off.
