QUENTI N WILLIAMS Band, lntra-mural, junior Play, N Kodak Club, Orchestra, Spotlight, Track GERTRUDE YARIAN Spotlight S E I O R s 0 AN INTERESTING CRUISE ln nineteen hundred thirty-four .1 staunch crew of fighters, some enlisting, a few shanghaied, boarded the good ship Knowledge to finish their apprenticeship in life's school. As Miss Albright. the pilot, guided the barge out into Freshmen Bay. the chief engineers, Rose Hubler, Norman Reed. and John Howerton steered the clumsy craft through the shoals, and in just one year the Knowledge,' had passed the treacherous bay. After a swell shore leave of .1 few months, the crew trouped back to the ship to again take up the great journey. Miss Newnam was chosen to guide them through Sophomore Gulf, and the en- gineers elected were john Howerton, Patty Wil- liams, and George Busang. After the years ex- perience the crew already had, they were more at home aboard the Knowledge, and a party was given in the latter part of November to celebrate the smooth sailing so far encountered. They halted for a while at the Marriage Islands, and Miss Newnam liked it so well there that she decided to stay, so Miss Albright again took charge of the ship. The crew had enjoyed their first party so well that they sponsored another in the spring. During the summer,s shore leave some decided to trod other paths, but a few new hands signed on, and the staunch craft pushed out on its route through the Junior Straits. This time Miss Sawyer was the pilot, and the officers were, john Hower- ton, Gerry DeHoff, and George Busang. Things went smoothly, and the crew enjoyed itself very much. After another party, they purchased rings to denote their rank as sailors. The sailors became actors long enough to rehearse and present The Nut Farm which won the appraise of everyone who saw it. Then taking the proceeds from the play, the midshipmen entertained the ship ahead of them with a gorgeous banquet, which was the high light of the year's trip. Wfhen they went ashore to rest up for the last and hardest part of the cruise, every member was eager for the time when they would be again called to duty. Most of the old crew got back to the ship in time to help navigate it through Senior Loche, and they went to their task readily: for each now knew just what was expected of him. Miss Page was the pilot on this lap of the journey, and the officers elected were, Gerry Del-lolf, Charles Hern, and George Busang. Having raised the motto of From School Life to Lifels School, the ship flew the colors of black and gold. The first great siege to be tackled, was the Senior Hop. which turned out very successfully. Then the veteran crew won the honor of chosing their mark of rank, and this they accomplished by deciding to get themselves beautiful black sweaters with gold emblems at- tached to the front. The Knowledge struck .1 bad snag as it's crew started to publish an annual, however the project was soon sailing smoothly under the expert management of the members whom the crew selectd for its staff. Again the waters began to get rough as the senior Spring Dance was propelled into action under the guid- ence of Miss Eva Robertson. The tension eased somewhat as the Knowledge and the ship be- hind it paused to relax and do a bit of fancy stepping at the Spring Fling. As the crew again went to work, they decided to hold a picnic near the end of the trip. After that they decided to wander into no more frivol- ities, until the Juniors would entertain them at the junior-Senior Banquet, because it was said to be pretty rough sailing from there into port. They kept working diligently for the rest of the voyage hopefully looking forward to Baccalaureate and Graduation which were shining as lighthouses in the distance.

SENIOR PROPHECY I should like to tell you about the dream I had last night- Since old Don Hayward hired Arlon Haller as his sales manager, my job of selling UI-Iayward's Stratosphere Speedstersn has lost all its glamour, because that old reprobate doesn't care where he sends a poor salesman. For instance, recall the time he sent me down to Mexico City to sell Captain Robert C. Helmer a fleet of Speedsters.', I was glad to see one of the old gang, but just try to sell that guy anything! Hels so tight that he has grown a mole on his neck to keep from buying a collar button. The Captain said he couldn't trust an army in the air anyway. I guess my biggest mistake was when I walked in on the Cap- tain while his secretary, Qpal Kresse, was sitting on his lap. I had some fun, though, because Anna- lee Deal and Orpha 'Iean Preston, at the head of the Theater Guild of America, had made Chink Rice quit producing shows in the United States, and he had come to Mexico. I looked the old boy up and shilled my way into the show, and boy, what a show he had! Bill Kenestrick and his Noisy Swings were on the bill, Marjorie Austin really went to town with the latest songs, and Nancy Irwin was still dancing at the head of the line. Nancy just lost her breach-of-promise suit from Chink, which was lucky for him, because his other suit was in the cleaners. just before the show was over Dick Munk, the head usher, had to throw Charles Hostetter out, because he had eaten too many of Bill Mountz's Condensed Cham- paigne Cough Drops. I was just getting ready to go down to Georgiana Lehnerls Torrid Club, to hear some of Lillian Case's jokes, and to get one of Mary Iillen Hinkley's Blazers, when I received a wave.- o-gram from the boss. That sure stopped my fun that night, and to top it all off, the Speedster blew out a cosmic repulser, and I had to leave it at Quentin Williiinis' repair shop, and take one of those dilapidated old Milk's Transport glances back to New York. NVell . . . you should have I Ill Iiglli-rn seen the excitement on that trip, when Gertrude Yarian, the best saleslady in the whole Mullens and Ananias Gown Establishment, got air sick, and Mary Lea Vetter, the stewardess, tried to make her take one of Anice McLain's Air Settler Stomache Pillsf' It was no wonden she got sick, because the way Herbert Herrick made that plane do the Rumba, had my head doing tailspins. Finally, getting back to New York, Louise Miller, A. H.'s secretary, told me that the old man had gone down to Cuba to fish for sharks, so I started after him on one of the underground burrows of the Vaughn Line. I picked up the Speedster in New Orleans, where Williams had sent it. While I was getting it past the inspectors, who should come along but Margaret Pfaffman, the great movie star, and what was better I sold her a ''Sport-Model-Speedster. That was the only thing that soothed Haller's ire from my losing the Helmer sale, and he told me of a prospect in Buenos Aires, promising that I could look for an- other job, if I bungled this sale. When I got there I found that my prospect was Mr. and Mrs. Kent Curie. Old Kent had finally won the hand of Margaret Nott, and they had established a large rubber plantation. Kent was a hard customer to sell, until he read Douglas Whiteman's write-ups on how Frank Reed had broken the world's speed record, in one of our Speedsters.' Then Kent gave me a good order for some of our heavy jobsg and after a fine week-end at the plantation, I went back to New York. The boss was so pleased that he gave me a month's vacation, and I decided to run out to California to visit Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ellison. Paul was the chief of police in San Francisco, and had taken Valma Gilliland for his wife. He had bought Valma a private library, which was filled with novels written by Betty Eichelbaugh. Valma got all steamed up once while I was there, because she caught Charlie Hern, a cop, in the kitchen with her cook, Juel Raslerg Juel got fired, and Paul demoted Charlie to a beat in Chinatown.
