BARBARA MOCK Intent upon producing an annual, these three masters of the communi- cation system called writing work feverish- iy to record the events of by-gone days. See- ing Joan chewing her pen, you can understand how much they hunger to achieve this goal. lg: JOAN GODDARD JEANNE ROGERS Jumid 3'? SIX Yfllkf A7 554 Hymn Now that we are floating free, unanchored from our part, with our eyes focused Upon the horizon, :13! we pause for a moment, our thoughts shifting from the future to the past. When we first approached the gang plank of our ship, the atmosphere, the hugeness of the anchor- ed vessel and the multitude of the crew, made us feel very small indeed. As we first stepped aboard, we were met by the Captain, Principal Loyal D. McNeal, and introduced to some of his first mates. Shall we ever forget Mr. Shearin's exciting geography class-whizzing pieces of chalk which maintained his hit parade and Miss Lyle's stiff English classes. We spent a second year in the lower deck under the supervision of Mr. Neide and Mrs. Boor, topped by our cruise to Sanlando for our class picnic. The next year we were promoted to a rank with an official titIe-now'we were FRESHMEN. Of course, with our new title came more work and more responsibilities combined with more ship privileges inciuding the Freshmen Hayride. Everyone agreed that the fun was worth the money we lost. Along with having a new title, a new captain, Principal Osburn C. Wilson was sent aboard to us. Our next step up the ladder brought us to the SOPHOMORE level. Our rank advanced, we be- came acquainted with some of the top first mates whom we appreciated even further as our trip con- tinued. As tradition required, our biggest activity on this part of our voyage was the St. Patrick's Day Dance. At this event Allen Simmons reigned as St. Patrick himself. In honor of the departing Seniors, we slaved many a day decorating for their farewell ceremony. As we advanced full speed ahead, our title also advanced-JUNIORS at last! In order to raise a few shillings at some of the ship games, we took cha rge of a concession stand, which turned out to be work, trouble, and fun combined. When Thanksgiving came rolling up, we celebrated the occasion merrily with our Thanksgiving Day Dance. Making our final salute to honor our departing Seniors, we staged a brilliant Prom at the Dubsdread Country Club. Befitting the feeling between the classes, the theme for the decorations was the Garden of Friendship. Thus with great eclat, we ushered the Seniors out, and assumed their titles. At last, we were SENIORS, the envy of the whole ship's crew. Although we were now enioying the glorious fruits from our former years of labor, how much more seriously we took each event, knowing it would be our last of its kind aboard this ship. The pleasure of each incident was increased by our feeling of proud ownership; it was our Glee Club, our Band, our football, basketball, and baseball teams because we were the leaders; our ship's pape r, our Christmas Formal and May Dance, our play, our annual, because we worked for them,- we made them-this was OUR year!! The Junior Prom was now in our honor, the diplomas given to us,- WE, THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1952, had now finished ; our six years at sea ! '
