Indeed this looked to be a long and rough voyage, but we were determined to make it a success. We were not alone on this voyage as there were three upper classes, who had started out before us, they looked back at us with much contempt, 'because we were new on this Great Ocean. Th-e Captain or leader of this group was the faithful Miss Marion Ash. With her wonderful leadership she started us out on this Great Voyage. On and on we sailed. Once in a while we would meet with a stormy some took it carlmly while others begged to turn back, and some who became discouraged did turn back on passing ships. But with the encouragement of our loyal leaders a large number of the The first stop for a period of four The following Ocean of Learning. found with tus again There was one Nichols.

All again we anchored, this time at the Island of Hope. Here all enjoyed themselves. THIRD LEAGUE For the third time we returned to the Voyage and found that we still retained our splendid Captain, Mrs. Pontius. This part of the voyage was indeed very eventful. The crew decided to put on a play, Billy's Tombstonesf' which was given with great success. We also gave a large banquet to the Seniors before making the next stop at The Island of Determination. FOURTH LEAGUE All aboard! Back again! By this time we were beginning to notice the -dis- tance we had traveled. . We had to choose a new captain. Mrs. Dillow was unanimously elected by the class. Mrs. Dillow gladly took the great responsibility, and with her untiring efforts guided us once more out on our voyage. But alas! We received a message one evening which brought sadness to the entire ship. Death had taken that 'Fair Lady, Mrs. Marion Ash Pontius, to the Land of Rest. Never can we forget her. .She had crept into the hearts of all who knew her. Her smiling face and cheerful words shall always remain with us. The crew gave another play The Goose Hangs High. The success of which was equal to the preceding attempt. Before anchoring for the last time, we were given a banquet by the Juniors which was enjoyed by all.

T ,, s. claasceanr .. Y Mnnaaava., onto Sveninr Gllaaa lgrnphrrg The visitors' gallery was packed. The crowd murmured with one steady con- tinual rumble. Suddenly a hush came over the throng. Silence reigned supreme. In the Senate chamber a person of majestic bearing arose and addressed the chair. It was the right honorable Alice Lippincott, eminent stateswoman and politician, in all her dignity. She was to sway the throng of people, who had gathered there to hear her speech, Shall Mars have her Independence? which excelled Mr, Burke's Speech on Conciliation. Then I accompanied her to her home. After dinner we went to her library for a chat. Upon a small end-table lay a magazine entitled Nutty Cracks , a magazine of pure wholesome fun, edited by Arthur Cowden, Taking me to a shelf she gave me a novel Love by the Lakeside, by Eloise Berry, the distinguished American novelist. She 'began her career in M. H. S. in '27, I picked up a copy of the Crescent of 1927 and as I leafed through it, it re- called to our memories our old schoolmates of M. H. S. She gave me a letter from Cecil Emmons, thanking her in behalf of himself and his manager, James Murphy, for her support and influence in his recent successful campaign for the gubernatorial chair of the State of Ohio. She next told me William VVeir, whom we had nicknamed farmer a long time ago, hlad made himself worthy of the name. He is -now watering stock on 'Wall Street, He had just come from a busi- ness conference with Karl Summers, who is a big power in financial circles. She next announced that Glenwood Lotz, is the government flyer who has just tak-en the honor and awards for the highest altitude fiyer in the service. The next morning for breakfast I had a luscious orange direct from Carl Nlatz's extensive California fruit orchards. Looking over the morning papers the following headline met my eyes: Donald Haynam Buys Moonshiue Mr. Haynam, one of the most prominent men in horse racing circles buys Moonshine, the speediest race horse in the world, who recently won the Kentucky Derby. The consideration is in the neighborhood of a quarter-million. The audience was held enthralled Wednesday evening by Lena Riesen, the renowned Y, W. C. A. athletic director who gave a lecture on How to use Dumbells to the best advantage. For thirty years, Lena has had experience along her line. Therefore she speaks from authority. Mr. George Leyda, president of the Leyda United ,Steamboat Fleets Corporation, left yesterday in a specially constructed airplane, for Alaska, for the purpose of es- tablishing a steamboat line along the Yukon River, recent North ,Pole developments having made it necessary for better methods of transportation. Mr. Lawson Whitacre, one of the foremost men in the 'baseball world, as you know, has just completed the purchasing of the Cardinals. Under his able control the team is sure to win the pennant. Turning to the advertisements the following caught my eye: HFREED KOSMETIGSH The Best Of ItS Kind Prepared and manufactured by the firm of Harold Freed. He has just perfected the rouge called, It Won't Rub Off.
