The Sfrip's Log On August 31, 1936, sixty-three young seamen boarded S.S. D. T. H. S. as fourth-class passengers. VYith Miss Lovejoy as their pilot, they elected Bill Reeb, first mateg Edward Cahill, second mate, Roger Cooke, keeper of the log, and Catherine Clausen, purser. The seamen cast out, and each found his particular interest or hobby. Those who started out in football or basketball were llill Reeb, John McConnell, Kenny Coriell, john Austin, Thomas DeVore, VValter Gossrau, William Doeing, Joseph Migliarini, and Robert Lydigsen. On lfriday, November 13, a party was held on the lower deck. Despite a sailor's superstition concerning this day, they had smooth sailing. ln January, eleven more seamen entered the ranks. ln the spring, they sighted the beautiful Gleaner's Hall Islands, and held a picnic. Toward the end of the term, they encountered bad weather in the form of final exams. At last they put into the Port of Summer Vacation, having filled their Treasure Chests with many happy memories. In the fall of 137, only forty-seven seamen re-entered their ship, many having been lost overboard. The seamen were now second-class passengers, and took a bigger interest in their ship. VVith Mr. Fridley as their pilot, they elected Bill Reeb, hrst mate, Patricia Stadler, second mate: Eleanor Rae Lower, keeper of the log, and Eleanor Fratia, purser. The sailing was rougher in the second year. ln the spring they held a party on lower deck. Guests were invited, and they danced and played games. It was at this spring party that several romances started to bloom. After struggling' through the storms, good weather was viewed ahead. Half of their training aboard the S.S. D.T.H.S. had now been completed. They hap- pily dropped anchor in the Port of Summer Vacation. At last the longed-for third year was reached in the fall of 1938. Forty seamen entered, several more having been lost. VVith Miss McClelland as pilot, they elected Mary Jane Komorowski, first mate, Joan O'Brien, second mate, Eleanor Rae Lower, keeper of the logg and Harvey Gantzert, purser. One of the major occurrences of this voyage was the annual play given by the third-class passengers. Fresh Fields , by Ivor Novello, was held in the ship's gymnasium, November 18, 1938. Shipmates who took part were Eleanor Rae Lower, lletty Ruder, Bill Reeb, Harold Riber, Earl Holzhauer, Ruth Hole, Eleanor liratia, l'atsy Stadler, and Mary jane Komorowski. The other shipmates cooper- ated splendidly, selling tickets and managing the stage. To earn money for the prom, given the Shipmates of '39, the seamen sold candy and ice cream during the latter part of the basketball season. For the prom, held May 20, 1939, the ship's gymnasium was beautifully decorated in purple and gold, the colors of the Shipmates of '39, This brought the third year successfully to a close. The Port of Summer Vacation was again in sight. ln August, 1939, the last year aboard the S.S. D.T.H.S. was started. There were fifty-four seamen, some having been picked up in other ports. Miss Hunter was the pilot, and llill Reeb as lirst mate, Harold Riber as second mate, Virginia DeLong as keeper of the log, and Ruth Hole as purser were elected. fContinued on Page Sixty? Page Eight
