J359 q . f a ' VJ makwgw W W WW On a bright September day in 1937, a group of eager-faced children climbed aboard The William W. Borden Elementary Steamship to begin their voyage through the First Sea of Education to the Senior Harbor. For some children this would be a long trip; for others, a short trip. Mrs. Hgggegt Bakerhwas the captain, and the sailors were Sheila Blackman, Georgeanllam, Ralph Foraice;wRoberta Garrett, Thressie Garrett, Joyce King, Bonnie Hurst, Roberta Hurst, Denetri King,IbnaLdNbrris, Richard McKinley, A.J. McKinley, Ramona Nicholson, Faye Rockey, Luella Reilly, Vincent Smith, Jo Ann Taylor, Freedja Standiford, Noah Standiford, Darylene Waggoner, Gordon Trainor, and Vernon wagoner. Each sailor had his work to do in drawing, coloring, and learning to print his name under the careful guidanceci'their kind and patient captain. In October we decorated the boat with jack-o-lanterns, and everyone enjoyed a Halloween Masquerade Party. In November we made turkeys for decorations, and Mrs. Baker read a Thanksgiving story to us. As we neared the end of the first semester, we decorated the Christmas tree, and began to practice for the Christmas program, an annual occasion that our parents always came to enjoy.

This occasion marked the end of the first voyage; and with our farewells and promotions, we went home for a long andnaoyous summer vacation. On a beautiful autumn day of 1938, this same group of children, radiant with the sunshine of hope, cheer, and promise, assembled at the Primary Harbor for a voyage through the Second Sea of Education. The captain this yggrmwas Mrs. Ruby Cohard. we found that our three R's were somewhat more complioatea wh6h we learned to spell, uaadd and subtract numbers, neverthe- less, we glided along through the first four months without any disasters. Then after Pug the ship's mascot died, we knew our luck had vanished as
