I'-IEI By IESSIE ARNDT W 1 ' V HE class of l9l7, piloted by its two able sponsors, Miss Hunt and Miss Mc- Latchey, and Well commanded by its worthy captains, Harvey Rohrer and Herbert Gish, has maimed its way through the first and seconds years in our good ship The A. H, Sf! and is now plying eager strokes for the lofty shores of Seniorville. This land is one of which it has often heard and sometimes even seen from afar, but a land to which the only passport is three years of diligent study and steady accomplishment. The Junior members of our crew have, with a few exceptions, stayed with the ship and most of those who have quit the voyage have been replaced by other sturdy sailors. At the beginning of our vryage their number was seventy-five and even now it is fifty-three. The ship's duties have kept' our sailors quite busy, but this work has been carefully arranged, so that each fue may be fitted for his position Z whe11 he has left Seniorville and is launched in his own boat on the great ocean. Eighteen of our .Irnior voyagers are in the Normal Training Course, which comprises such duties as shall fit them to Pilot other smaller ships with younger crews. Twenty-four cf the members are taking the College Course which fits them to continue their voyage on a greater training ship, through a labyrinth of mystify- ing isles called the Subjects of the C llege Curriculum. Eleven other sailors have varied duties which will fit them generally to take their places after they have left The A. H. S. Nor do the duties of our sailors occupy all their time. The Juniors have been allowed various festivities when they have stopped at some port along the way. They have had hikes: sometimes they go about two miles inland, and on these occasions take up a collection with which wiennies. buns and dill pickles are purchased. Al- ways when our sailors leave the ship for such recreation some of the commanding officers accompany them. On one occasion Admiral Simpson went with them and entertained them by playing on his violin such songs as were familiar to the crew. However, they have other festivities of more formal nature than hikes. They have had a number of parties at different ports where the home of some member of the crew is located. These Junior seamen never find it difficult to obtain leave-of-absence for such gait- ies, as The A. H. S. reaches port only ence a we-ek and there are no facilities for such entertainments on board. These same sailors are also well represented in the sports on the ship, in the ship, in the races, baseball and football. Whenever debates come up some of our numbers are always there to take part. And as for the musical programs, truly the .luniors are better represented than any class on the high seas, in proportion to their size. They have five out of thir- teen in the Orchestra, five of the twelve i11 the Girls' Glee Club, and five of the fif- teen in the Boys, Glee Club. These bold mariners, the Juniors, have endeavored not only to perform their duties excellently but also to inspire the younger members of the crew, the Fresh- men and Sophomores, by their worthy example.
