ng, '9 5:5 LA DALMA FLOYD S. HAX'DEN TI-IE SKIPPER ADDRESSES THE CREW 5 HERE are as many human types on the ocean of If life as there are kinds of vessels on the high seas. Ships range all the Way from derelicts to the fully equip- ped, efheient ocean liners. It is a sad commentary that human beings have the same rangeg but the ship has no control over its destiny, while you and I have over ours. There is an anonymous poem called The Set of the Sailsl' that gives us a hne philosophy of life. One ship drives east, and another west With the self-same winds that blozug 'Tis the set of the sails Anal not the gales, Which fZ6CZ.dC'5 the way to go. Lilge the winds of the sea are the ways of fate, As .foe voyage along through lifej 'Tis the will of the soul That decides its goal, And not the calm or the strife.

A favoring breeze is on our lea And soon across zlze darlq blue sea Om' gallant ship we'll bravely steer. N grammar school days we liked to shout this spirited song in our high pitched voices and with more energy than harmony. We were ready for great ventures, and we expected the thrilling as a part of our daily experience when once we reached high school. But having ar- rived, the glamor and adventure soon vanished into monotony and duty for too many of us, and We never have recaptured that alert en- . thusiasm that made us love to imagine ourselves sailors. Why not try to cultivate, to tease back ETHEL B- SHELDON into our lives that glorious appreciation of liv-e ing that makes each day an adventure to be anticipated? Middle age and old age, comfortable havens though they may be, are a long, long Way off, and in between is a sparkling sea of unknown opportunity and romance. Enjoy the daily cruise, add achievement to your log each night, and clare to sail ahead even against an occasional squall. AYEl AYE! I-leave I-Iol Fine lads, and lassies too, Adventuresome seas are waiting you, A chartered course unlike the old, Where seamen's quest was only gold. Todays demands are just as bold, Vllith slioal and hardships many fold. So in training port make good your stayg Then speed the voyage to a better day. Heave Ho! Rings out the captain's cry. Heave I-Io! Sounds back the crew's reply. So anchors a-weigh! Your foes defy! Sail on, sail on, good ship. Aye! Ayel DAVID W. STURGES zlnfrn
