Qlass History E. HER TIME has turned hack in his flight to give us a glimpse of the past. What is thi we see? Such a hustling and bustling a forty-five Freshmen bid farewell to their parents and homes! With hopeful hearts and smiling faces, din nied bj a tear now and then, they are about to set sail on a loiiL r voyage — that voyage which leads to the Kin gdom of Greater Wisdom. Some come from Kansas. Alabama, Florida am! the Carolinas, while the majorit) of the rrew hail from our own home state. Indeed, they displaj wisdt m in their selection ol a route. lor thev decide to travel hv waj of Piedmont Surelj there could he no better route tor such a voyage. So man) have followed this course and have SUCCessfullj reached their goal. Prof, and Mis. Percj head the crew, and it we look into the future we see them standing bj the crew through thick and thin until the goal is reached. With Hugh Daniels as captain, the) are prepared tor the roughest of seas. The Juniors, sailing not tar ahead, learn that the Freshman crew is about to undergo an attack of mal de mer at the outset, and thev quickl) prevent r h i - b) an enjoyable picnic. Now the Freshmen become more confident that their voyage is to he a pleasant one. Their fister i iew shuws erv clearl) that thev are genuine hv the tact that thev succeed in wresting the Standard of Green and Gold from the Seniors before the Christmas party. Although the good ship is tossed on troubled seas now and then and en- counters a tew hostile ales such as the Sophomores, everyone on hoard has enjoyed the voyage thus tar, when the ship anchors for the first time. The crew oi)sists of sturdv sailors, among whom strong friendships have formed. Much to our sorrow a number o) the crew do not appear when the ship sets -ail on its second expedition — this time bearing Sophomores. Bj now the crew has become accustomed to sailing and there is veiv little evidence ot seasickness. Thanks- giving comes with its feast and gaiety and the compan) is represented at the banquet in Truman Pi erce, who joins them at the beginning ot their second voyage. The most interesting feature ot the Christmas part) this year is the prelude to the Fi men ' s stunt as it is iven hv Ruth Callahan and Norman Bailey, captain, much to the chagrin ot the Juniors. Again the gistei ucu shows its colors, foi trv as thev will, the Juniors can not find the Standard. In main wavs this pan ot the voyage i. veiv enjoyable. To he sure, there is main a thrill in the St. I ' atiick ' s part) .liven in Prof, and Mis. Percy, and it is no small pleasure to steal out ot the dormitories at three o ' clock in the morning while I ' lcshmen and Juniois sleep am 1 grope IWI) to Miss Spencer ' s studio to assist the Seniors in then Class l .i practice. Swutlv the ship appn aches a harhor and the i lew lands toi a shoit tune. I In- next lime we see the sailors, whom we have observed toi two years, sit sail as Joll) Juniois. with Kathleen Uum.iii as then captain. glance backward ami we see a ship following the same line thev aie pursuing.

Freshmen setting out on a voyage to the same Kingdom of Wisdom which is their goal. The Junior crew extends to them a helping hand, and much the same as they have been piloted over the troubled seas, they endeavor to smooth the rough waters in the way of the Freshmen. By this time the Junior crew has decreased to almost one-third of the number that set sail for the first log of the voyage. This time the search for the cherished Standard is left with them. The search is a thorough one and even though they do not succeed in finding it, the bitterness of its being presented to them is removed by the excitement of the chase. At the Christmas party, the company on the ship is suddenly transported to Scandinavia where Christmas is celebrated. After this diversion the voyage is continued. After another short period of rest we see the same ship steaming away from a wharf in sight of the harbor which is the goal. Since the last log of the voyage the sailors have undergone a miraculous change. This time they are Seniors, with Margaret Moore as captain. Still they help and encourage their sister crew, which is now a crew of Sophomores. More of the number have discontinued the voyage and this time the good ship bears a small crew. Smoothly they sail until Thanks- giving Day — a day that must be mentioned, for it will ever be remembered as a perfect day in the history of Piedmont because of her double victory over her old rival. After this day the ship seems to travel with renewed vigor and speed and soon Christmas is reached. Although the Juniors are diligent in their search, the traditional Standard remains in the hands of the crafty Seniors. After Christmas we see our seamen as they sail over the sea of Examinations. At this point they take on board a number of new classmates. Onward together they sail, a goodly number of Seniors. Alas! too soon the voyage ends. Our sailors approach Graduation Day with an ache in their hearts mingled ith many a happy thought as they look backward over their experiences since they set sail in the fall of ' 23. Many have joined them since they set sail ; some have deserted them along the way ; but to all who have completed the voyage the ideals of Piedmont will ever be honored and cherished. — Kathleen Duncan, Historian.
