Florida which is steaming its way from New York to Havana. Billy Hargrave, the finest quarterback that ever played on Transylvania has had four front teeth knocked out in the recent hard game and for the three wreeks till his new set is made, things were softer than he had had them since he was a child. Since Billy is so very sensitive about his newly acquired incisors, and doesn’t want the details of his accident known, his folks persuade him to take an ocean trip until he becomes accustomed to the new set. Alice Hargrave, his sister, accompanies him on the trip. Fortune so has it that Billy’s best girl, Beatrice Sloane, and her mother, are traveling on the same ship. To make matters still worse. Sam Eustace. Billy’s most bitter rival in love, is also on board going to Havana on business. That evening Billy proposes to Beatrice and feels it his duty to tell her about the teeth.

We were well represented in all the activities on board—dramatic club, athletics and glee club. Our course through the summer months was very pleasant. In the fall we stopped at a port called Sophomore, where we acquired Captain Rebol. We were all very enthusiastic about our winter home. Having elected Nina Sackett president, we started the year with a picnic and a party to which we invited the Juniors. Again our crew represented us in everything they could get in to. A number of our group were in the Girls Insignia Club and the “C” Cluh . In the spring we returned to our ship, but this time wre were caught in a storm and some of our girls did not survive. Among these were Mabel Randall. Helen Moore. Gertrude Hall, and Maud Farnsworth. Now, instead of going into port, we set out for the high seas, stopping at the island of Juniors. We elected Billy Duke president and still retained Mr. Rebol as captain. While on this island Joe Sackett. Hollister Reser, and Franklin Overcast represented us in Basketball. They helped put over a very successful season with all C. H. S. behind them. In the girls’ basketball squad Esther and Lillian Burns and Margaret Lott, were our stars. We also had boys on the foot ball and track teams. Toward the close of our stay on the island the Dramatic club presented the play. “The Whole Town’s Talking.” Those of our company who were in the Dramatic club were Joe Sackett, Eleanor McCaffrey. Margaret Morrison. Isabel Griffin. Evelyn Westbrook, Elmer Gesell. and Billy Duke. Another event was the operetta put on by the Glee club; Evelyn Westbrook. Eleanor McCaffrey, Isabel Griffin, Ruth Maeirt and Joe Sackett were our representatives. Just before we set sail from the island an invasion of Seniors came down from the north and a very exciting flag fight took place on the deck of C. H. S. The battle ended a tie, because of a rain storm. As soon as spring appeared we put out for our last green port. Seniors. We are steaming right along and are looking forward to the time when that, last harbor will loom into view across the sea of life.—Mabel Bedell.
