Sailing Into September September was the start of a new voyage for Wesleyan. The year began with a full sail and would in time bring new experiences, new adventures that reflect a young woman s dreams. The trip included a variety of events recorded in the Ship’s Log that will remain dear to those whose lives they touched. The new voyage began with some eager new crew members and a new set of ranking officers, as best described in the following pages of this Ship s Log, month September. Clockwise from top right: 7 .

20 With full steam ahead, the voyagers, hop¬ ing to discover new worlds, prepared for the long journey ahead. As the freshmen crew moved on deck with gear in hand to discover a Wesleyan they had never known, exper¬ ienced crewmen returned to the ship loaded down with supplies. The old salts showed the new members the ropes to get them safely on their way. The Wesleyan dreamboat, after a long, well-deserved shore leave, glided smoothly along the rough waters. Parties between crewmen, a picnic with the ministers, and several freshman seminars were just some of the events on board that cheered the restless crew. Soon, however, new fears plagued the younger crew as they discovered a part of themselves, an indepen¬ dence they had never known. Then, as inexperienced members became better acquainted with their mates, many dis¬ coveries in cabin lifestyles and academic life were encountered. These discoveries includ¬ ed SAGA, Dairy Queen, the ‘birthday foun¬ tain, cold morning showers, roaches, dirty laundry, Miss Mu nek, post-midnight fire drills, Mercer boys, Zed ' s sandwiches, and many other adventures that were part of Wes¬ leyan ' s waters. Such discoveries on the voy¬ age made the open seas both fascinating and fulfilling for freshmen and upperclassmen alike.
