CRUISE OF THE CLASS OF 36 ’Twas in the year 1932 when a group of studious young people, 54 in all, boarded the great liner, A. H. S. Education. Before we could weigh anchor we had to appoint a captain, so we elected Louis Winzeler to guide us through the first year’s voyage. The first few weeks of our four-year voyage through the seas of experience, afforded us no little sea-sickness brought on by the rough waters. Rough because of the disorganizing and humiliating initiation and the ridicule by older members of the crew for our awkwardness and inexperience at sea. Of course, like all ship crews, we were not prepared for a four-year period without stops, so we docked several times for refueling and rest. This was sometimes provided by parties, sometimes by basketball and baseball games, and always by the increasing number of friendships. After disembarking for the summer vacation and getting some variety in our experiences, we resumed our journey, now as a crew of 46, with Renny Beyst in command. During this year the boisterous winds, as always, brought with them the usual “storms” of exams. These tempests were heroically braved by all, for we were fortunate enough not to have cause for undue alarm during these portions of the voyage, as we were an intelligent group—“no foolin’.” After more refueling and resting for a whole summer, we continued our voyage with Kathryn Dimke at the helm. Under her command was a merry crew of 41. We, as juniors, were imbued with that feeling of superiority and would “turn up our noses , so to speak, at all except seniors, and sometimes even at them. But we, for the most part, proved what respect we did have for them by giving them a big “feed” in the ship’s salon. Now, life was becoming more serious to us and we were no longer obtaining a “compulsory education,” because we were beginning to realize that this ocean voyage would be, to some extent, a determining factor in our later life—whether we would be a success in certain fields or not. Again came that interlude of leisure when we docked, following the junior year. After these months of recuperation, we, 40 seniors, began the last leg of the journey, with A. J. Vernier in command, and Clarence Rich acting as his first mate. We intrusted the crew’s gold and silver to Bob Roedel. We all thought that the voyage was, so far, such a success, that we resolved to publish the ship’s log. Therefore, getting busy, we chose Naoma Fagley editor-in-chief, and she in turn, appointed a staff of helpers, who at once were set to work at their various assign- ments. Through the cooperation of the instructors and the rest of the crew, their tasks were lightened, and The Arch Hi Clipper became a reality and was pub- lished. By this time we were nearing port, so our wireless operator Hashed a message, warning the public of our arrival. Consequently, upon leaving the ship, we were immediately ushered into the commencement routine, and finally—the' finale—we received our certificates for service aboard the A. H. S. Education. It is with heartfelt regret that we leave this life with all its joys, friendships, and storms. And it is our hope that this journey, with all its experiences, will be of some benefit to us in pursuing new joys and in overcoming new obstacles, for they are bound to confront us again and again on our next voyage aboard the 5. S. Life. 14
