DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS Were you among those carefree children who hurried out of school in the spring to play in the rivers trickling down the street? Who felt that nothing else would do but that you must find a piece of wood, and by attaching your arithmetic paper to a stick nailed onto the wood, sail your little craft down the plunging river? Of course you were. Who wasn ' t? Kindergarten was the first toy craft on which were centered all your hopes and good wishes for a safe journey down the River of Learning. Its course was not hard to follow; no rapids made the journey perilous, the sun shone benevolently, and your heart cried, Be it ever, thus! Grammar School was a ship more real, much sturdier. It was like a boat you made with your first set of carpenter ' s tools. A tin box made a cabin that would weather all storms, all gales. This ship sailed still farther, rolling and plunging, merrily, gaily, recklessly . High School is the motor boat, firmer and accustomed to stormy passages, treacherous shoals. And where are we going in our boat? Ever onward, down the River of Learn- ing, under bridges of worries, over shallow places filled with temptations, onward to the sea, to the sea! College will be our firm, carefully-managed steamer, avoiding the dangerous reefs, meeting all gales and winds fearlessly, courageously. Who will be the captain, willing to undertake the piloting of the steamer? Why, we will! We ' re not afraid; we can manage it. The river is growing wider, wider. Storm clouds press down heavily. What care we! Hurrah! the open sea ahead! No more banks to hem us in, to prevent our sailing freely! New seas to conquer! Sailor, beware! Treacherous waters lie ahead in the Sea of the Future. Keep a cool head above the waves, and a firm hand on the pilot wheel, and pray that your boat will be sturdy enough to carry you safely over the waters. Your only practice in navigation to prepare you to meet the conditions in the open sea has been in a river, the River of Learning. Profit by your previous experiences if you are wise. Eleanor Hayes, ' 3L
