S Jcblllmbldlf xssussxsuxxsxsxxsxss sssx xxxv 6- Freshman Class History 37 lt was on September, the twenty-first that the good ship 'cCollege Life started on a new voyage with one hundred and five inexperienced travelers. Immediately after coming on board we registered for a stateroom and were told to meet certain of the shipls instructors at appointed times. During the morning and afternoon the sea and sky were calm but soon a dark cloud appeared in the horizon that warned us of an oncoming storm. Here and there voyagers were becoming sea sick. This continued for several days but gradually as the sea became more tranquil we ac- customed ourselves to this life of adventure. We had friends on the ship who had made the voyage before and syrnpathized with us in our embarrassment. We enjoyed immensely the various receptions that they gave in our honor and very soon realized that our journey would be quite pleasant. After we were well away from shore we realized the necessity of organization. A meetng was called and the following officers elected: President, lVIcKeevie Alford, Vice-President, Mary Grace lVlcLendong Scretary, Sara Cromer, Treasurer, Mary Leitner' Historian Marie Odom. The first real obstacle to frivhten us was a large rock, Hard Work. This dented our ship in some places but only made slight impressions in others. Only a few of our passengers were injured-but we were warned that the next might prove more disastrous. We encountered this just a few miles past the island of Christ- mas. lt was the fatal charybdis of Examinations. . The remainder of our voyage was over a calm sea. Of course occasionally there were small, storms to retard our progress but we were good seamen and pro- tected ourselves well. We soon came in sight of the island of Summer. Every- thing here is beautiful and as the travelers are weary it is customary to anchor for a vacation. The first island of Summer is only a fourth of the journey. l' hope no one will become dreamy, as the Lotos-Eaters of old, and be unwilling' to take up again the unfinished voyage. 'lhe sea of Education is stormy, but may the lighthouse, Graduation, Guide us all safely into a lighted harbor. MARIE Ono-M Historian. Eighty six gf I A , 4 ,r ii' K!
