SENIDIQ CLASS HISTDIDY On the eighth day of September in the year of mighty Odin nineteen hundred and thirty-three, we, the Vikings, set sail out of the familiar harbor of inexperi- enceil for the wild and unchartered seas of Broadened Education and for adven- tures beyond our fondest dreams. Our sturdy ship encountered many a storm but the spirit of adventure still prevailed. Months passed-trying months, hut one clear day we sighted land. The sailors long confined to the hardships of sea life, jubilant- ly went ashore and one long day was set aside for feasting and feats of strength. Two months were spent in this paradise. But all good things must end and we again ventured in search of new lands. We were caught in a ceaseless chain of storms. After many months of being battered to and fro by the merciless waters of stern curriculum demands many of our crew, proving unfit for such strenuous adventure, succumbed. Our ship drifted into the calm, sunny waters of the south. What could be a better occasion for celebration ? The entire crew spent one glorious day in feasting and merrymaking. We sailed on and soon came in sight of a picturesque islandfa new land to be explored. The crew, restless and impatient to find the lands of adventure which they had heard so much about, joyfully and unanimously chose as their captain, Roderick Vir- gog Merrill Bailey, first mate: Virginia Thomas, second mateg John Boland, supply keeper, and June Thomas, to keep the records of the year to come. With these new leaders, our boat soon overtook another ship sailing in the same direction. As we came alongside we called words of greeting and soon discovered that these sailors, too, were on their way to this strange unexplored land, but they had been searching longer than had we and were more experienced in seamanship. We went on board their ship and spent a long and enlightening evening exchanging tales of adventure. The next morning we parted. each going his own way, toward that land of higher and greater experience. We steered a straight course and on March twen- tieth, we landed on the shore of a strange and fascinating land whose inhabitants. after showing their friendliness toward us, we invited on board our ship. Minstrels sang and the hours flew by as we danced and feasted. We departed from here and in a few weeks visited a Glen that the natives had described in such glowing terms that we felt that we must visit it before we went on. A happy day was spent exploring this sight. On continuing our journey we ran into a storm which dashed us on to the shoals of Regencia.,' As the waves and winds subsided we saw that all was not lost- many still survived. Some months were spent in making our ship again seaworthy. Finally, on Sep- tember eighth, nineteen hundred thirty-six, our Viking', set out on the last lap of the long voyage. Roderick Virgo having proved worthy of the honor conferred on him the last year by the crew was again chosen, this time, to guide us through the most dangerous months of our journey. First mate, Mr. Bailey, and supply master fioland still remained. Norman Hudson was chosen as second mate and Corrine Thomas to keep the log of this, the most memorable year. On the twenty-fifth of November we sighted a sail on the horizon behind us. Wishing for news of the outside world we dropped anchor and waited for them to pull alongside. They were representatives of King Arthuris Court and had experi- enced less than we. They, loo, were seeking new lands to conquer and we spent the cvening recounting adventures and giving them advice as to what course they should take to reach this promised land. We sailed along together until May seventh when we sighted a large beautiful island inhabited by people of extraordinary beauty who seemed to have nothing to do but sing and dance. That evening we entertained them in the spacious quarters of our newly rebuilt boat. The people of the island possessed an extraordinary musi- cal talent and one lrv Orton played for our merrymaking. They left in the early morning reluctantly because never in all of our travels had any one of us enjoyed an evening so greatly. After leaving this island of happiness we ran into a storm, the worst we had yet encountered. Our sturdy little ship weathered it nobly and carried us safely through until one fine day we sighted the '6Land of Broader Experiencef, Our goal had at last been reached!
