The POLY TECH 11 Extract from the Log of the Good Ship Class of November 12, 1915-Clear day, fine weather. At 3:55 p. m. this ship slid down the ways of Courage, Hope and Curiosity and into the waters of Our Future Career without a mishap. An- chored safely in mid-stream, she was boarded by the officers and crew. Our sailing master fPresi.j Mr. Laird called the 'crew 'forward and explained our duties. The oiicers were: President, Mr. Laird. Treasurer, Mr. Frey. Vice-President, Mr. Wirfs. Secretary, Mr. Ray. They were given three cheers and the crew scattered to stow luggage. November 29, 1915+Not ,a ripple. Still at anchor. This afternoon a mo- tion was made that the ship's papers fConstitution and By-Lawsj be drawn up, which was heartily seconded by the crew. December 6, 1915-Ship's papers were signed. Sergeant-at-arms elected. Mr. Peters filled the bill. December 14, 1915, I2 a. m.-Execu- tive committee was appointed by Mr. Laird. .Mr Adams elected class re- porter. January 19, 1916, I2 a. m.-Orders given to stand by to heave anchor next Friday evening in the shape of a party at the Girls' School at 7:30 p. m. Our voyage about to begin. January -.Never mind. Suffice to say that party followed picnic, dances followed outings all in that spirit of ex- pansive, wholesome fun that has marked this class as a sure nuff live wire Cnot egotism, if you please, but plain busi- ness-cold factsj O, dear, the astounding, terrifying, r June '18 Firne of getting acquainted. Only one who remembers his first class party can appreciate that. Under cover of frivolity this class has endeavored to advance itself in the art of life, the happiness of living fhave we succeeded?j This is the reason of those roaring, thumping stag parties, those mirth-provoking masques and those whole-hearted picnics. 'Member that one at Rocky Butte--that delicious memory of those wood-scented weiners? The undercurrent of seriousness that bubbled over occasionally revealed itself in our earnest endeavor to help the school paper, in our sincereness in urging other classes to organize and parallel actions. History can never be history unless the fairer sex chooses to make it so and we herewith tender our very humble thanks and undying obligations to the girls of the Class of June '18 of the Girls Polytechnic School for their help in making our class what it is. The officers of the sixth and final term are as follows: President, Al Schumacher. Vice-President, Adolph Badura. Treasurer, Lloyd jones. Secretary, Edgar Gibson. Sergeant-at-Arms, Rolf Schumacher. Reporter, P. J. Ullrich. Chairman of Decoration Committee, Albert Soderburg. Chairman of Entertainment Commit- tee, A. Badura. Chairman of Refreshment Committee, P. I. Ullrich.

And so in the language of Tiny Tim: God bless us-one and all. xxx , if X 4 L r x l f f 'Y fwfr ,hx X XXX, ' ' X fy ff -1' lixxyhhl lliflff 111.17 ' 13.-le.!cS.-I-4 Aa.. ...4 -a
