G . H . S . HI-I.1F K 1 928 EARLY in September 1924, a crowded, awkward-looking brig, “Freshman,” launched timidly out on the troubled waters, of the “Sea of Higher Learning.” Our pilot, the Faculty, skillfully guided our course, with Howard Faber as Captain, Miss Forreider and Mr. M. Whale first and second mates. After bravely facing many stiff gales, we were gradually becoming accustomed to our new mode of living when lo and behold ! a fast approaching ship loomed up before our eyes. We were stopped and every passenger, from the mightiest to the weakest, was searched (not without a slight tremble on our part) to see if we had the right qualifications to continue on our journey. Those who had failed to apply themselves, due to carelessness or lack of training, were rushed back on the intruding ship to start the voyage anew. Although sorry to leave a few of our fellow-passengers behind, we set out with renewed courage in spite of the setback. We fared as well as could be expected. In June we reached the first point of our destination, much longed for by everyone. Relieved of most of its burden “Freshman” made a speedy return voyage carrying with it a few disappointed passengers unable to proceed with us on our next trip. After refreshing our minds and bodies a few short weeks on the balmy “Isle of Vacation Time,” we embarked on the second lap of our voyage aboard the good ship “Sophomore” with newly gained confidence. We were indeed pleased to learn that we would sail under one of our former officers, Barbara Bower, who by this time had become quite skilled in managing the boat’s affairs. AH went well. We enjoyed many parties on deck. Miss Browne and Mr. Whittemore contributed much toward the success and pleasure of this cruise. Our third passage was made aboard the stately ship “Junior” under the efficient captainship of Mabel Petersen and the supervision of Miss Ford and Mr. L. Whale, who not only faithfully guided us through thick and thin but also made our voyage enjoyable to all. Much of our time was spent planning and looking forward to the last and greatest part of our voyage to take place the following year. At last the cherished moment arrived when we boarded “Senior. the finest ship of all. It sailed majestically out on calm waters under the blue September skies. Naturally we felt a bit superior when the ships of the lower classmen approached, but who could help it! From time to time a few of our members fell overboard but fortunately were rescued bv other ships, to arrive at their destination later on. Our capable Captain, Helen Choate, with a little help from Mr. Holden and Miss Macomber, proved herself to be an accomplished leader. Under her care we have just arrived safely in the harbor of Commencement. About fifty survivors will now set out to seek new worlds to conquer. Our “Annuals” contain a record of our experiences at sea which, when reread, will bring back many happy memories. A survivor, Laurentze Rasmussen. [25 1
