is fory similated, and so they bravely managed to hold them down. We noticed at the outset of the voyage that the stream upon which we had set sail was comparatively narrow and sheltered, but using our field glasses we could see such wide vistas of water ahead, that we were led to inquire of the Captain the significance of the situation. He explained to us that the Voyage of High School Life was in reality to be over four seas, though the four bodies of water were so closely joined together that they seemed but one immense sea. He informed us, further, that we had just entered upon the first and smallest of these, which was called Freshmen Sea. The usual intimacy of shipboard soon sprang up between us voyagers and we have been loyal shipmates ever since. We sailed over the Freshmen Sea and received our checks of identification from the Purser almost before we knew. lt would take too long to write the complete log of this eventful voyage. lt would be very interesting to tell the many delightful experiences, the many wonderful lessons, the changes in the passenger list at the various ports along the way, the partings from this one, and the welcoming of that, with the why and the wherefore of it all, but after all, it has but little vital significance except to ourselves, the few who still remain together to land tonight at Commencement Wharf. We must not divulge the secrets of our shipmates. We must not forget the loyalty due to our class colors so valiantly flying at the masthead. The best and most vital history of any person or thing is never given to the world. So must it be with the Class of 1953. It has been a most wonderful voyage and we have ac- cumulated many souvenirs from every port, striving, however. to guard against the danger of excess baggage, and of taking unto ourselves anything which would not be of service to us on the yet greater Voyage of Real Life upon which we are this day to embark. We have not faced any gale which we were not able to withstand. We have not been wrecked upon the Shoals of any threatening task. The tides of our averages have con- tinued to ebb and flow, the waves of p-mathematical problems have kept up their ceaseless motion and commotion: the billows of examination questions have sometimes tried their worst to overwhelm usg but non of them has succeeded. We have been able to procure the necessary passport at the entrance of each succeeding sea, and have been able to pay the price in good hard work for every part of the passage. We have sympathized with the seasick passengers that made up the various new classes. We have enjoyed the successful ex- periences of those who have landed on other shores. Now we look at the larger, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experience has fitted us to withstand every storm, and weather any opposing force with no fear of disaster, saying with Byron, Roll on2 thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vainl -- But not in vain the Class of 1953! We will go on writing new logs of greater adventure, and yet more wonderful discovery, for while the Voyage of High School Life is at an end, the Voyage of Real Life is just now and here at its triumphant Commencement! 1, r

i i -ET: T ' X .J- an Qgroplzgay l Mx. , M Last night as I sat alone in my study enjoying the twilight and-my own most Wonderful thoughts, I heard a soft rustling behind me and turningl saw near my chair a queer little creature which I could not classify. It wasn't strictly human and yet Ihad never before in all my study of natural history seen any creature, even distantly, resembling it. Before I had time to ask the customary questions, When and where were you born? Are you single or married? What is your favorite breakfast food? the strange visitor asked in a mighty voice, the first notes of which made me leap out of my chair, Are you the student who has been selected as the prophet ofthe class of Atlantic Highlands High School? If you are, the creature went on quickly, before I had time to utter a word, I see by your looks that it is indeed necessary that I should help you. It was a wise act when I was sent to you. Sent to me? I ejaculated, my curiosity over- coming my fear. By whom? Ah, said the shape, I perceive that you have not heard of the new movement among the curricula. The curricula? I repeated stupidly. Yes, was the quick reply, the curricula of all the schools in the United States. Then, I exclaimed, I suppose you are a curriculum? Of course. I see you know a little Latin, was the angry reply, and the creature con- tinued: We have united together to help the poor overworked teachers and superintendents at com- mencement time. So here goes. First and foremost, Patricia Joslin is to be President of. the United States. Hold on, I exclaimed, don't you know that is a girl's name? What of it? was the retort, now that women have the ballot, they'll soon relieve the men of the few duties which have been left them,'and women presidents will be as common as queens. But I have no time to argue about this now. There is Lewis Worth, he will become the most famous cook in the whole wide world. O, hold on! I exclaimed, you don't seem to have any idea of the significance of names. Where have you lived all your life not to know that Lewis is a boy's name? Of course, but if the girls are all presidents and other officials, the men will have to do the cooking, I reckon, unless you think we'll live without eating in those wonderful days. And now please don't interrupt me again, no matter what I may say. Robert Junkelman is to become a famous biologist and will discover some of Nature's deepest secrets, for ex- ample, why an oyster isn't a tadpole, and similar never-before solved problems. Howard Brey is presi- dent of the Ford Company and has eliminated all colors except red. Joseph Borsky is giving lectures on how to win friends and influence people. Nancy Ryan is gradually putting all other clarinet playing band leaders out of business. Albert Panariello is a trigo- nometry professor at N.Y.U. James Snyder and Anthony Papa are playing professional basketball. Sebastian Rich is to be an artistic milliner. Now don't tell me there are no man milliners. Per- haps there are none at present, but since the cubists and their ilk, realists and impressionists will have
