On September the seventh, nineteen twenty-four, the good ship Freshman started on its long voyage, with a crew of thirty-five. The captain of the ship was Mr. Kaufman. Mr. Harold Yochum,. Miss Lela Seiger, and Mr. Vickery were his shipmates. , We had some fear that the sea might become rough, but in a short time we lost all our timidity. In order that we might become better acquainted, we held a marshmallow and Weiner roast. It was not long' until we reached a port where three other ships awaited us. There 4 we held a,Hallowe'en party. After nine months of sailing, we left our ship, the crew drifting to diferent parts of the harbor for a long rest. , On September the first, nineteen twenty-five, we returned to the ll harbor for the second of our voyages. We found a ship Sophomore i . waiting for our arrival. But, we were disappointed when we found that only twenty-three ll of our crew returned. For some, the seas became too roughg others X sailed again on our former ship. We found our same captain with us, but his shipmates were lost. in their stead, Mr. VVest, Mrs. Landfield, and Mr. Williams were stand- ing on the deck smiling at us. i . 3 This year Miss Bordner visited many times on our ship. With her musical ability she made the seas seem smoother and our work much lighter. Both years our crew took active parts in athletics and in inter- scholastic contests. On May twenty-eighth, we reached another harbor where the crew separated for three long months. CQ, Twenty-two of us came back on September the second, nineteen twenty-six, to go on the third of our voyages. Again the captain was the same as before with Miss Seesdorf as new shipmate taking Mrs. T Landefeld's place. The sea seemed to be very rough, especially when we came to i history class. But with much ambition and hard work we kept a firm l footing. l l fa. l17l

All of us have formed the tree trunk, Mighty frail when young and green, But each year new strength was added Till a fair sized tree we seem. ln this tree of pretty foliage Twenty branches you will see, Not so much for show or glory, But just strong and firm are we. When the winds shake our foundation, Or the gales heat thick and fast, Let the little branches sliver, But the main limbs still will last. Alma Mater, our great store-house, All our strength and valor, too, From thy source are we all nourished Till outside forces send us through. May you stand, you grand old arbor, H rl in H 5 Ever staunch, sedate and straight, As a wondrous living memory H To the Class of Twenty-eight. . - Leona Dornan X , ,, Y , K ,,,, Y ,YYY , , , T1 - 1 ,,' 'Y se: he famaammsww we he ll6I

N v I 1 i qi 52' .fu , P 1 . ll li' ll I' After about seven months sailing, our captain reported the sad it f news that our ship was becoming old and worn and thus it would be . 5, necessary to leave it until a new one would be built. We soon moved iw into the good ship Masonic Hall, where we took up our work with - 'L even greater zest. And, behold, a little distance ahead of us we saw another ship. Q We reached the same port on April twenty-second. We held a W P reception here in honor of the wandering ship. l I' On May the twenty-ninth, we left our Alma Mater for a long va- i 514 cation. But on September the fourteenth, nineteen twenty-seven, we it g' returned to our harbor. But to our disappointment we still found the li i, ship Masonic Hall. Upon looking about we were happy to see our li l old captain with his same shipmates back again. il L' But upon further investigation we found that only sixteen of our A number had returned with the addition of three others namely, Ray- H mond Ritz, Samuel Bruner, and Wayne Stephenson, who had started -F out with us on the good ship Freshman but became lost at sea. Again 5 looking over our crew we found a new member, Bernita Valentine, who W :ll had strayed away from her band. Willingly we unfolded our arms I to let her in. i t On January the third, our captain again called us and brought us n it 'the message that the new ship Senior was completed. How our it hearts did beat with joy! . Looking back, We find that only twenty of our original thirty-live finished their four long voyages. The diploma which we receive does not mark the end of our 'L' ll, 'career but a Commencement, Thus we are ready to start on the l M greatest of our voyages over the boundless sea.
