September 6, l944, the ship, Sophomore B, was anchored in the harbor preparing for the journey over the S. l. A. Sea of Knowledge. On deck stood a new crew. Patricia Tynan was captain and the crew elected Patricia Shanahan, first mate, with Phyllis Thompson and Mary Margaret Touhill as second mates. Weeks passed and the ship sailed safely over the some- times turbulent waters. One day the navigator sighted the schooner, Sophomore A, two points off port bow. Together, experienced seamen forced seventy-two landlubbers to walk the plank at the end of King Neptunes pitchfork and then dubbed these poor freshmen worthy seamen for their coming journey. December l5, l944, we reached the port of Good Will and went ashore for a fortnight to toll out the Old Year and ring in the New Year. Orders were given to return january 3 at 2 bells. Assembled again, sailors were confined to spiritual quark ters February 2 to February 4. Results were gratifying for it's the spirit which strengthens the body for further combat. After months of sailing, several men volunteered to pro- vide enterlainment. The Dreams of Youth, was presented on deck and was most inspirational. During May we dropped anchor to honor Mary, Star of the Sea. Our crew has weathered storms together, and as we em- bark to begin a new journey, we'll charter our course with this purpose: Objectivefffappiness. Destiny' Heaven. Medium Undaunted Courage.
