It was started under the leadership of Miss Edith Johnson as captain. Her able officers were: Carl Liebers, Will Wall, and Robert Hoerner. The mighty and capable C. W. Smith was' at the wheel, acting as pilot. ' The voyagers were rather sea sick for the greater part of the first week, however, they soon regained their health, after hearing the-antidotes of the Duke . ' 6 The ship continued to sail until it stopped for a night of merriment in November at the dear old port, 306 Ag. Hall. They all scrambled aboard again at the late hour of eleven-thirty. To proclaim our importance and whereabouts it was deemed necessary to decorate the infant ship with a 1916 pennant of black and gold, our class colors. The smooth sailing was often in- terrupted by tempests. One of these caused deep regret among the voyagers, for they saw' their efficient captain washed overboard February 1, 1913. The voyagers now were nearly at a loss to know what to do, but after looking over' the sailing list, chose as their future captain the brilliant and celebrated Arne Mark. The ship safely anchored on April 26, 1913, after its many storms. After six months of sight seeing the ship again pulled out of port with the weather beaten form of Captain Arne Mark on the bridge, giving commands. The captain's capable officers were: Carl Liebers, Fern Beemer, and Byron Cochran. Our old pilot, C. W. Smith, resigned his responsible position to the skillful Miss Hester M. Rusk. The voyagers became mutinous for want of eats and anchored in October, 1913, at the State Farm grove for a Wienie roast. The rebellious voyagers again climbed aboard the faithful old ship. The ship sailed successfully over the reefs and breakers of the semester exams and made its next stop in March at the newly discovered Plant Industry Island. . 'One balmy day near the end of April the ship anchored for its second and longer vacation. October again found the ship. with sails set. The inquisitive but capable fellow, Erwin Carpenter, acted as cap- tain. Miss Hester M. Rusk stood at the helm to pilot us thru the reefs and breakers for the year. The captain had as his officers the able persons: Lola Marshall, Faye Parker, and Byron Cochran.
