Brave sailors they were-yet youthful, and many of them suffered pangs of homesickness. Storms came, towering midfyear waves, which threatened to inundate the decks, strained all masts from the main to the topgallant. Gritting their teeth, however, the mariners never deserted their posts, but steadily kept eyes ahead. At last the sea became calm, and the excited voyagers ended an exhilarating year with a Freshman Frolic, which they will always remember when relating sea yarns. After a brief sojourn on land, the sailors discovered that they could not resist the call of the P. A. L. Sea, and a hale and hearty Sophomore crew returned to brave the tempestuf ous gusts and gales of learning. Mighty were the buffetings of the second trip. Dark clouds of Ofiice Practice arose, heavy volumes of Taussig often obscured the horizon, and lightning strokes of Shorthand played havoc in the Ship's ranks. Nevertheless, with the coming of dawn, the sailors forgot their tribulations, and came out on deck to make merry at a jolly tar dance, sometimes known as a Sophomore Hop. . Once more the members of the crew parted to hobnob with landlubbers. Some said farewell to the Sea forever, the others returned, a wiser and more courageous group, to embark on the most exciting cruise of the fourfyear journey. The mariners chose as officers of the Ship: Captain, Beatrice Hooley, First Mate, Priscilla Leach, LogfKeeper, Rita Barnard, and Purser, Ellen Ambrose. With such leadership, the prow could not help but point to success. Accustomed to various weather perversities, the sailors were no longer disturbed at occasional squalls and tempests, and all hands pulled together in a common cause, the publication of the big log, SIVAD. In anticipation: The sturdy tars are eager to sail with Evelyn Galloway in the quest of a neverftofbefequaled Junior Prom, with Florence Liff in the search of a Tea Dance, and with their parents, faculty, and friends, they will drop anchor in the Harbor of Junior Week with much rejoicing. May the Ship ,27 ride triumphantly-next year on the crest of the waves! 78
