It had been under - construction six years when at last, on a beautiful September morning in the year 1919, we loosed anther and the Class of ' 30 launched into the great Sea of Knowledge to explore the twelve islands that we had to know thoroughly before reaching continent World ' s Work. Squalls and gales swept over the faces of the valiant crew during the exploration of the first six islands. We had now reached the equator. Although we had looked forward to this part of our voyage, various symptoms of uneasiness became evident among the crew. One morning shortly after crossing the equator. Captain Rainer bounded up the gang plank and cried, Heave ho, my lads! We lie to wind- ward of a group of islands known as Junior High. Cheerily, my lads, I ' m going ashore. Come on, Julia! Effie! Florence! Well, Janette, we ' ll take a chance, and the trio jumped to their feet and urged, Come on, Martha and Bernai ' d ! Derrick ! Jessie and Elizabeth Owen, what are you and Frances McLendon hiding behind Mozell for? Up to the breach, John ! Alyce Clark ! Nelda ! Harold ! That ' s the time, Myron and Frank ! All aboard Mildred, Sarah Boyd, Sam and Lois, bantered the mates, bringing up the rear with Ralph, Carol, Frances Du- Bois, George and Mynelle. We were rough tossed upon entering the harbor, and encountered warlike foes on land, some of whom pursued us even to the next group of islands which were known as Senior High. Here warriors of good pro- portion and manly strength advanced to give us combat, but our sturdy crew passed on. On the second island, brandishing his beautiful spear, advanced Geometry. Captain Rainer, John Guthrie and Joe Ellis squared their shoulders, set their pikes and charges. He could not sustain the de- termined assault, and he soon became their sworn ally. He then looked threateningly upon the remainder of the crew as they timidly approached him. Irene! Thelma! Lee! Buck up! See how tame he is? coaxed the gal- lant captain as he pulled the grisly monster ' s beard. When we leave this island one more will remain to be explored. It is a great mountain reared up in the sea. We must scale its lofty summit before we can unlock the gate that swings open upon our life work.

We were to learn, and we felt our importance when we learred to write our name. For six years we met our tasks bravely, whether they were hard or easy. Then all of a sudden we found our- selves in high school. Our spelling book was traded for a Latin grammar. We felt very big to be studying Latin until Mr. Cottle asked us to translate Agricola aquam por- tat . We knew then that Latin was going to be hard ; but, as we always did, we mastered. In our Freshman year our class was divided. A few of us were put up a grade. This made it hard on us, but by studying hard we did our work. Our hardest subject was Caesar, but with Mr. Cottle ' s wonderful help we learned all about Caesar and his Gallic wars. This year finds us pondering over geometry. At first we thought we could memorize it, but we soon learned that it was to be done only by reasoning. Gradually, but surely, Mr. McNair is teaching us to bisect lines and prove prop- ositions, and we are just as eager to gain our goal as we were when we first started to school.
