bf ,KP ,.f-fi Senior Class History N SEPTEMBER, 1930, a ship was launched at the L. H. S. shipyard. Much interest had been felt in her construction, and many people had anxiously awaited the day of the launching. As she gracefully slid into the ways of the school she was christened 'tThe Class of '33. The work of completion was pushed rapidly forward, as this ship was soon to start on a three years' cruise. It was feared that she might be delayed because so little rain had been shed since the launching. Finally Admiral Maclay, in consultation with Commander McCauley, gave orders to leave the Harbor. So when the schedules were arranged the cruise was begun. Before leaving, that we might have someone among us to whom we would look for orders and encouragement, our friends, Commodores Faust and McMillen, had helped to organize our members. Carl Buffington was elected captain, Dorothy Rothermel lst mate, Marion Decker 2nd mate, and Sam Cohen purser. We had an excellent chance on shipboard to become acquainted with the companions of our voyage. For many days we sailed calmly on, we were all familiar with mathematics and English, so we felt somewhat pre- pared for a rough voyage. We soon found, however, that we had reckoned without our hosts and hostesses, who gave us quite unsettled feelings for a while. For the next few months nothing exciting occurred. We cruised on undisturbed, touching many points of interest which we had never seen before. Of these the best known were Christmas Vacation and mid-year exams. Suddenly, however, we came upon our sister ship Senior. We were invited on board along with the crew of The Class of '32 and there we enjoyed a pleasant evening of dancing. During the month of May Captain Bufiington received word from Admiral McClay of the shore leave granted for three months. With a sigh of satisfaction we put our decks in shape and went hope for our first sum- mer of vacation. After a summer of gaiety, in the mountains, at the shore, or at home, the crew returned. Many attractions were offered on this trip, but great as were the inducements, some of our companions deserted. The leaders for our crew this time consisted of Carl Buffington, Dorothy Roth- ermel, Sam Cohen, and Everett Rhodes. The winter was long and hard. Many dangers in the form of examina- tions, threatened us, but most of them were weathered in safety. During our cruise, members of the crew were well represented in the Oratorical and Athletic Combats with other ships. An event of prominence in this year's history was a Prom given on board our ship, Class of '33 in honor of our elder friends of The Class of '32 which was then about to anchor. Captain Buifington had received an announcement of the coming commencement which we all agreed we ought to attend to lend dignity to the occasion. With that event the second part of our cruise was ended and we were put into the Senior Bay for a season of rest. Most of us met again at the appointed time and we chose for the task of guiding our ship upon the last league of the journey Captain Carl Buf- fington, 1st Mate Elizabeth Reed, 2nd Mate Carolyn Welch, and Samuel Sixteen
