M'AMIE Pendant nos nnnee: lei ei l'6eole, Tout le monde vous oimait Vous etiez .fi dr6le! Mais your Etes une umie Si gentille au Coeur, Qu'1'l est tres dijficile De faire les adieux! MISS PINE Youive brought us through various mys- teries Of angles that equal each otherg The reason why half of one segment Must equal the square of anotherg The potato-sack problem where A Ran about with surprising rapidityg The one where an awful solution Developed a minus acidity! You've taught us amazing reactions Of polygons sitting on end- But we still can remember you smiling And we still want to call your our friend. MISS WOOD A brand new dessert Mysteriously appears- A birthday cake- A picnic surprise- And somewhere we know There is the thoughtfulness Of one who goes on giving- Giving of herself And smiling softly. MISS MEMORY Miss Memory, we hope you'll forget The strain of the class recitationg For now we have grown to regret That our notebooks lacked organization. From them how could you expect That our versified tribute to you Would be scholarly and lacking defect, Though our admiration be true? MISS CHANDLER Behind those grey-blue eyes QD That laugh with us, - ' We have felt the depth Of your sympathy and understanding And your patient kindness. Through happy crowded days You have helped us always- Untiring. And so, Miss Chandler. As we pause in farewell, We are not sad- For in our hearts we carry always The memory of a friend. MISS SCI-IUMACHER XVith common sense, Of course, you'd smile at usg But with your genial humor Sometimes you laugh with us. We know We've earned some ehiding For study hall maneuvres- But really we're not thoughtless. When things are still forgotten, VVe'll remember you. Seventeen Q handler

Sixteen x MISS WILLIAMS We have known The guidance of a hand Unfaltering and sure- Have felt the strength Of leadership unfailing- And we have learned to love A rich sincerity of friendship, Of little kindnesses And sympathetic laughter. DR. LEWIS You talk to us And say such lovely thingsg You smile at us- What pleasantness that bringsg Our willing thoughts Would loving odes compileg But time is short- We must condense them in a smile. ' MISS EDELL We think of you, And lovely thoughts come crowdingg We try to speak of you- Words somehow seem so trite You are living an ideal . . . And now we End we cannot even write.

W' Christened with the new dignity of its estate as a full-fledged member of the S.M.S. fleet, our good ship Victory began her maiden voyage in 1928. With a small but able crew, we sailed under the command of Captain Barrett, with Marion Cameron as first mate. We had a line time getting our sea legs, though we ran into many storms and fogs, and we learned what it is to be the youngest ship of a fleet. A high wave on the sea that year was our pajama party on the upper deck, enjoyed by both crew and passengers. Later in the year, we sighted the Keep Tryst, our sister ship, to which we were invited to attend movies. After sailing into home port for three short months of leave, we were hack on duty as third class men. Marion Cameron was commander for this second trip, and we made an addition to -our staff. Purser Field came aboard and she's been here with us ever since in that same capacity, or might we say-bunk? On this cruise, we decided to give a hop in the Blue Hills Night Club, so we secured leave and held a gala reception at which everyone hopped with great agility and happiness. But this was not to be the last of our gaiety. We were permitted, with the fourth class men, to land at Quassapaug, where we enjoyed a picnic and all the good things that go with it. A little later, while off duty, we had a bridge at Martha Curtiss, house for our sister crew, the seniors. This year we were still underclass men, but when we left for summer leave, we were sure that on our return we should be usomebodiesf' Three months later, ready for the third trip, we appointed Mary Smith as captain, with Lieutenant Schaffer as second in command. Our entertainment this year was again on shipboard, and we showed how well we had acquired the sailoris knack for cooking, decorating, and entertaining. After this play, we settled down once more to what we then thought was hard work and difficult cruising. With the assistance of Miss Lanctot Eighrccn
