Among the illustrious personages on our Passenger List were: Jane Tobin, the famous editor of The Newtonian, the slap-stick comedian, l-loward Fine, the well known essayist and legislator, Clarke Case, the all-Newton football end, Gus Castoldi, and the headliner Caleb Roehrig, who served two terms as President of the class. Some of the passengers studied hard to master foreign languages and other subjects in preparation for further travel abroad, while some preferred to stroll the decks in light-hearted company. For two days following a severe blizzard the customary routine had to be abandoned, but after that we were able to venture forth once more on icy decks. Despite the isolation of our ship at sea, the radio bulletins kept us informed of the history- making events and alphabetical experiments unfolding themselves under President l2oosevelt's New Deal program, and the moves on the political checker-board of Europe. Towards the end of the voyage there came the usual ship's dance and the festive Captain's Dinner. And now, while the ship nears port, we think of the true friends we have made among the passengers and among the ship's officers. As we file down the gangplank, our passports Cprovided the examiners approve themb in hand, to scatter to the ends of the earth, we recall with a wistful smile the grand times of the voyage and the worthwhile lessons learned. Our voyage finished, new worlds open before us for discovery and conquest. Sixteen

With keen anticipation of the voyage and the thrilling experiences awaiting us beyond the horizon in unknown lands, we thronged up the gangplank and the ship set sail. Efficient and courteous Captain Elicker was making his first passage as commander on the bridge, but he soon gained the confidence and affection of all on board. The first few days out, which correspond to the sophomore year, were rather trying for most of the passengers. The impressive strangeness and awesome size of the ship, as well as the distressing novelty of the motion conspired to bewilder us with a feeling of being quite at sea. To organize the ship's company we elected Clarke Case, president, feeling confident of his superior seamanship.- One-half of the way over, in the junior year, most of the passengers had found their sea-legs and had taken up some form of deck sport or pastime. Gus Castoldi, Bill Spilman, and Bullet Byrne, all triple Ns, and among the girls Rejane l-larvey, Oyster Wheeler, and Jane l-lesslein displayed their skill at quoits, shuffleboard, and deck tennis. Evenings of recreation followed days of ship's routine, as when a successful dance was run off by George Collins and others. From time to time the officers on the bridge would shoot the sun and post reports of the progress being made, which were sometimes gratifying and sometimes not. The later days of the voyage have been far more eventful. The play, Once in a Lifetime, with Sally Rogers, l-loward Fine, and Elliot Rogers in the leading roles was presented to enthusiastic audiences. There were other Fifteen
