Freshman Class History Last june the owners of the lleet, Carthage High School. selected a new crew to sail the good ship l93l. About two mouths were used to decide definitely which members would be most capable to Ftll the positions in Septem- ber. September seventh was the date for this ship to be launched. It started out on a beautiful day with just enough wind to make it go well the tirst week. After that it was very hard navigating as the crew was new and came to this ship from Great Bend. Deferiet. I-lerrings, Copenhagen, Natural Bridge and Carthage. Of course it was hard for these sailors, although their captain, jerry Thorpe, had a good first mate. Marshall Lynch, and the second mate, Janice Buckley, was a capable person for this position. This ship had the very rough Sea of Quarterlies to contend with ten weeks after its start. Some of the class proved poor sailors and had to serve on an extra watch to raise the degree of eliliciency on the ship. Now it is Fine weather and the battle that our Heet is engaged in. for the supremacy of the sea. with other fleets, have begun and are almost weekly events. The good ship dl has assisted ably in these battles in which the fleet has participated and has come out victoriously. Although the youngest crew sails this ship it has contributed many members to its credit. Among them are: jerry Thorpe, football and baseball: Lincoln Haller, football and base- ballg Harold Grosse, ioothallg Grace Strickland and Virginia Anderson. chanty leaders.

TO MY Cl.ASSMA'l'liS ' As musing der fair worlds l sat. lleside a bloom of honeyed llowers, intruding on my solitude 'l'here entered Mystery in that hnwer. A moment hence l was alone. But now, released from silken case, Comes forth a creature wondrous-winged, Emerging from its resting place. And flourishing soft, airy wings lt rests, bewildered by the light: But soon to do some worthy deed lt must betake itself in tlight, Although the butterily appears So purposeless. inadequate, Some future life depends on its Proline work, designed by Fate. ln fields of dewdrops it will lay lts eggs: then Atropus decrees lts usefulness to be at ebb. .-Xnd causes its short life to cease. The butterfly, emerging from The Chrysalis of Preparation, Might be compared with teachers, who lfntering on their vocations, Some will wisely, iniparlially lfnrieh the world. by placing there The Egg' of Knowledge and 'llrne Morals.
