All of The fifTy-five passengers are abouT To sTep fooT on This large ship, buT before doing so. everyone wondered abouT his fuTure desTina- Tion. As we sTarTed on our voyage, we were guided by our able Capfain, William Heard and his firsT maTe, Thomas McCabe, who was also assisfed by CharloTTe Mangold, We own many Thanks To our piloTs, Mrs. Olinger and Mr. Lally, as we enTered This new and unex- perienced voyage. Our firsT sTop was Freshman Island. Here was our firsT year where we meT many new and friendly people. AT firsT, we were a liTTle frighTened of The upper classmen and Teachers, buT in a shorT while we learned ThaT They were our friends and wanTed To help us in every way ThaT They could. As we sTarTed The year, we had a Freshman GeT TogeTher where we became acquainfed wiTh all of The passengers who were Taking This long and evenTful voyage. A loT of The boys parficipafed in fooTball, baskeTball and baseball, and for Their reward received Freshman leTTers. Along wiTh Them, The girls wenT ouT for cheerleading. Besides This, They all parTicipaTed in acTiviTies offered To Freshmen. Our Time aT Freshmen Island now coming To a close, we were more accusTomed To This new iourney, and looked forward To our nexT sTop. PorT Sophomore. As we approached The wharf and dropped anchor aT PorT Sophomore, we came wiTh a renewed inTeresT and confidence, for now we knew we were a real parf of This voyage and noT mere swabbies. IT was, however, a Truly new and differenT sTop. for here our privileges, acTiviTies and responsibilifies were increased. This year, we were To find, would be an ex- Tremely enjoyable one.
