It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to a safe har- bor and many people watched the twelve beautiful young la- dies and the seven dashing young gentlemen, as they so happily stepped aboard, for they were going on a four-year voy- age of High School Life. We were young and socially inclined, so it did not take us long to become acquainted with our fellow passengers, nor to feel very much at home with our Pilot, the Captain, the Stew- ardess, and even the Porter. Soon after we had set sail the old passengers initiated us into the mysteries of life on board by branding us, having us sit on chairs which were wired (not to hold them together) and in various other ways. There were naturally a few cases of sea sickness and various ones were tempted to throw up Algebra, Geometry, and other agreeable dishes in times of rough sea, but the Stewardess assured them calmly but firmly that they would only have to consume these indigestibles over until they were perfectly assimilated, and so they managed to keep them down. The Captain, Mr. Thelin, was very kind to us during the voy- age through the Freshmen Sea, solving our difficulties and giv- ing us a helping hand when needed. When we started on the Junior Sea we had a new Cap- tain, Mr. Peterson, who is still in charge of the ship. It would take too long to read the complete log of this event- ful voyage, but we will mention a few of the pastimes and im- portant events. After the Fresh- men Initiation, the next event was the Political Rally of 1920, in which the Freshmen repre- sented the Republicans, the Sophomores the Democrats, and the Juniors and Seniors the So- cialists. The election returns were in favor of the Republi- cans. Then there was the Fresh- Soph Hop at which everybody had a good time. During our trip on the Junior Sea we gave a Carnival which was a decided success in every way. We also took part in debates and basket- ball. Paul Hershey was Cao- tain of the boys’ team and this year his red head will be missed by both friend and foe. There were many programs in which we always did our part, and other activities too numer- ous to mention. It would be very interesting to tell the many delightful ex- periences, the many wonderful lessons, the changes in the pas- senger list at the various ports along the way, but after all it has little vital significance ex- cept to ourselves. The few who still remain together to land at Commencement Wharf are: Frances Clapper, Merle Duncan, Alma Heath, Pearl Hessler, Alice Olson, Lucille Peterson, Paul Hershey, and Harold Plow- man. We must not divulge the secrets of our shipmates. We must not forget the loyalty due our class colors, blue and silver, so valiantly flying at half-mast. The best and most vital history of any person or thing is never given to the world. So must it be with the Class of 1924. It has been a most wonderful voyage and we have accumula- ted many souvenirs from every port. We have not faced any gale which we were not able to withstand. We have not been wrecked upon the shoals of any threatening task. The tide of our averages has continued to ebb and flow; the billows of ex- amination questions have some- times tried their worst to over- whelm us; but none of them have succeeded. We have been able to secure the necessary passport to the entrance of each succeeding sea, and have been able to pay part of the passage in good hard work. Now we look at the larger, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experience has fit- ted us to withstand every storm and weather any opposing force with no fear of disaster, saying with Byron, “Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain!” But not in vain the Class of 1924! We will go on writing logs of greater adventure, and yet more wonderful discovery, for while the Voyage of High School is at an end, the Voyage of Real Life is at its triumphant Com- mencement. p n »24
