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

And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the high school scale has merited. Listen then, one and all, while I read the document as dully drawn up and sworn to. As to such estate as has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long hours of the night wondering if each member of the class will have a perfect recitation the next day. It has been a hard strain on them, but they have done their duty and now they shall have their well-earned reward. To Prof. Peterson, the boys leave their cigaret stubs and their dancing slippers. To Miss Miesen, our Senior Sponsor, we leave our most sincere thanks for guiding us through all the difficulties that have darkened our path. To Mr. Griese, we leave all of our knowledge of Physics gained from our examination papers and our j right to exempt all those in next year’s Physics class. We also leave him all the castor oil that can be bought at the Cut Bank Drug Store. To Miss Conmey, we leave our old note book covers. To Mrs. Shannon we leave the care of weak and tottering Freshies and the supervision of all debate work. To Miss Funnell, we leave our knowledge of music and the hopes that some day we shall be able to play some musical instrument. To the Juniors, our insignificant successors, we leave our dignity, but we are afraid that this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles of the gay Seniors-to-be. Our seats in the assembly hall we also bequeath to the class of ’25 and may they endeavor to fill them as advantageously, as promptly and as faithfully as we have done. To the Sophomores we leave our debating ability and the hope that some day they will know the differ- ence between a main speech and a rebuttal. To the Freshman Class any over-looked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to under-side of desks, banisters, assembly seats or any likely or unlikely places. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. , The following may seems but trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full disposal. 1. To all the future Class Presidents, Paul Hershey’s ability to convince Prof. Peterson that the Seniors are always right. 2. Alice Olsen leaves the presidency of the A. S. C. B. H. S. to any one who has the gift of gab required to fill such an office. , 3. Harold Plowman, with the consent of the Senior Class, leaves the balance of the class treasury to pay any debts which may have been acquired by us during the past year.
