E I ' Aailml 'N c Voyages 0f the Past. N 1880, the first Abilene High School voyage was made by five passengers in one cabin on board the ship HGarfield. The entire command of the voyage, including officers and crew, was in the hands of one captain. The passengers were enrolled for a two-year cruise. VVith the coming of more passengers, the cruise 63' gqgyi, ' was extended to cover four'years.

So, in 1907, a L modern liner, now termed the Junior High, was completed to serve as the flag ship for the fleet of activity and organization crafts that were being pressed into service by the added passengers. In the construction of this vessel the ship-board and people backing the venture felt that they had reached the pinnacle of ship building. But progress continued and the passenger list kept growing. At the same time the business of ship-building had expanded to include many new inventions, conveniences and features of beauty. Again, in IQIQ, the ship- board launched a building campaign, this time for a Leviathian liner, com- modious enough to accommodate five hundred passengers, to serve as a flag ship for the fleet.

The Abilene High School has carried many passengers who have brought honor to themselves and to the school in scholarship, debate, basket- ball, football and track. During nineteen years of our voyages our good ships were guided by Commodore W. A. Stacey. Last year Mr. Stacey retired from service and F. C. Gardner is now in command. One thousand three hundred and thirty persons have completed their journeys on board and since the number of passengers has increased each year, the crew which at first consisted of a single captain now has twenty- four officers. l ' 5 v l f rx l I ffl X . 1 N f-Q-si---si-f l 1 l I - ww !.-s'?- J GM. -.... 8
