The Second Class Seamen on board the L. H. S. have come through 4 years of war, and 6 years of peace. We are the future citizens of our country, and as we sail out into the world we will have a great many problems to face. The years we are spending on the L. H. S. are the foundation for our greatest voyage which will begin when we leave our good ship. One of our seamen, Maurice Israel, has already left us to enter the navy and take his place in the sea of life. We wish to thank the Officers of the ship,, L. H. S., for their help in preparing us for the sea on which we will embark in two years, and for making this a grand year in school for all of us. Best wishes to the graduating Chief Petty Officers, and to all of the Crew of L. H. S.

They have been requested to give orations before the whole high school in assembly, lust because they failed to have their selections ready on the specified date. The two plot against Old Waterbury, the high school principal, and devise a seemingly infallible plan. Johnny phones Waterbury, disguising his voice as his mother's, telling the latter that Johnny North is far too ill to attend school. The principal is duly impressed and sends the school nurse out to visit the patient, As a last resort, Johnny dresses as his mother while friend, Harold plays the part of the sick boy. However, the trick is discovered before long and Nurse Cunningham gives them a taste of their own medicine. Page forty three
