KN, . -w..- y, p...w.x,y,.,-.u....,,gy, kf'-1-.1.1,..-ww.. ---I f' ' f ' N the morning of September 15, 1920, the Class of '24 set sail in the harbor of Farm Life School for unknown ports on the sea of Knowledge. It was manned by twenty-eight inexperienced, unscrupulous and unnoticed Freshmen. We never ventured in the front door but always entered through the side and back doors. We never sat near the front during Chapel for fear that Superintendent Joselyn would ask us to read the Scripture Lesson or sing a solo. The ship of this timid, though hard working crew, sailed through the rough waters of Freshman Year. The sea was very, very rough for some and never very calm for any. At the end of the term, May 11, 1921. the ship was anchored in the Harbor of F. L. S., for a four months' vacation. When the Captain came back to check up the crew, there were many who had given up the race. The number of delinquents was tifteen. The following fall the school had been enlarged. There were three trucks coming in to the school from the country. This gave a number of recruits for our crew. The second voyage was a very important one or, at least so we thought. Why? Because we were Sophomorcs, you know! We found Biology very interesting, for we often folf lowed our teacher down to the Mill Stream to catch insects and gather wild fiowers. Time passed swiftly and soon we were embarked on the Third Voyage. It did not seem so important but it was the beginning of Romance in our class. Two of our girls were on the Triangular Debating Team. One of our boys won in the Declalmation Contest. This helped our school to Win the silver sup for the third consecutive year. As we entered the laboratory for Chemistry, it seemed as if we were visiting the doctor. The next few lines are in honor of our disliked subject. A class went down to the laboratory Where many a class had been, To try experiments and gain eternal knowledge. A class stood up in the laboratory And the experiments stood aside. One Saturday afternoon in April we took the Class of '23 to Glen Bernie Park for :i picnic. There we gave them for one time so much to eat that they left some. After an enjoyable afternoon and supper we went to the night show in New Bern. At the end of the year we all came through the examination storm successfully. It was sad to see the Class of '23 depart, but we were glad to have their envious places on the Ship of Senior Year for 1924. At last the fatal year has come when we have had the responsibility of finishing our task successfully or unsuccessfully. It has been a rather diiiicult year and there have been numerous new tasks for us to do. But with all pulling together and each one doing his best, We have almost reached the harbor again. In the early fall our class received a heavy blow in the death of our dearly beloved classmate, Andrew Smith. We also lost another member, Bernice Whitford, who returned home to attend school. Our Class, rather successfully we feel, published the Senior Echo monthly until Christmas. After that we devoted our energies to editing the MlI,I, STR:-:AM. In Jan- uary the class presented a play, The Wren. This was very pleasing to the public and added la goodly sum to the Senior Fund. Now, we see in sight the harbor and the end of Senior Year Cruise. We've enjoyed these four years of working together, forming friendships and pleasant associations. In just a short while we shall sail forth on the longest cruise of all-on the Ocean of Life.
