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

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.

, . y I , l 1 I I 0 5 Q LA DALMA 5 THEY THAT GO DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS -By PULLEY Eva DOUGHERTY ' N OUTH, today, as always, is seek- Ying romanceg and a most roman- tic and glamorous subject is sailing. The manning of a sailing vessel re- quires of the crew the utmost skill and resourcefulness. Our high school days and all of life is truly a voyage, some- times smooth and calm, but often stormy and perilous, requiring careful charting and steering of the course. It is with these thoughts in mind that We have chosen sailing as our motif. In La Palma this year it is our pur- pose to set down the activities at Cit- rus in chronological order. Each de- partment or activity has been described at the stage of the voyage in which it is most prominent. We have written the log for the 1932-1933 voyage of the good ship Citrzrs. In the autumn the freshmen are most in evidence, for they are just beginning their voyage and need the Wise coun- sel of the administration. The football squad has been in dry-dock and again puts out to sea. By Winter the sopho- fwrl 11: mores have evaded the rocks at the first barrier and are very much pleased with their Hrst success. Everyone is attending basketball games held on deck. In the spring the juniors are in- deed active. At times they seem to man the ship aloneg but no, there are others on deck. Each evening at seven bells, those sailors who: are fleet of foot are hard at work, and girls' serv- ice clubs make this their most busy season. The early summer is a busy time for the crew. Our baseball team rnust meet the crews of other vessels, and it is then that we must cross the rocky reefs and make the harbor. The seniors have been Well equipped and sent out on the great ocean of life, bound for other ports. As We look out of our sheltered cove, we can see them leaving the protection of the harbor and putting out to open sea. Their long voyage has begun. As we look back on our voyage of 1932-1933, may We indeed be proud of our victories.
