SCARLET Es. I-1I'E'E The Clss oyage 'I' was the fourth day of September. 19115. a ealm lf: .45 uutumnal day, radiant with the sunshine of hope. Q, cheer and joyous promise, that the good ship lleshler High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new lgsaz school year. It was the same old ship that had ear- N7 -' ried many passengers to safe harbor in the hand of Great Yvisdom. but this day was a gala day in its history. and many people gazed upon it in wonder as they watched the nineteen beautiful and charming young ladies and twenty bold and dashing young gentlemen, as they happily stepped aboard, for it was rumored that they were about to set sail over new and untried waters in a quest for the Fountain of .Perfect Understanding. As the ship stood at anchor on that eventful morning of September, the passengers began to arrive and. as l was the first to be enrolled upon the list of passengers. to me was en- trusted the important task of writing the log of the voyagef the voyage that. even then, they all realized was to be the most important of their lives. I had hardly finished the task of placing my signature upon the ship's register when a com- panion, Maxine VVitham, joined me. She had sailed with me through the eighth grade cruise among the lslauds of Smaller Learning, and I was glad to learn she was to be with me in this larger voyage. WVe were both congratulating ourselves upon the mutual pleasure of longer companionship together. when we turned to welcome a third comer, who had come to take passage with us. WVe peeped over her shoulder as she wrote her name and were surprised to decipher the lettersvl'-e-r-n hi-e-yee-r-s. Yve had had her with us before. and knew of her many pranks. so while we knew we would not find her overly fond of study. we were sure her jolly nature would brighten for lls many an otherwise gloomy hour. ill a short time we were joined by Virginia Shirey. and soon so many were crowded around us that all the berths were filled and we were assured of a very happy voyage. YVe were naturally very enthusiastic and asked many eager questions of our captain. as to the incidents of our voyage and its probable length. and were assured that if we were perse- vering and diligent in our duties we should easily reach our destination at tlu- end of four years. So it was with very hope- ful hearts and smiling faces that we bade our parents and friends good-bye and waved our handkerchiefs from the deck at those left behind in the Grammar Grades. as we steamed away from the wharf and out of the harbor, actually em- barked for il four year's absenee on our Voyage 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 Ste-wardess. and even the porter. Our fears of shipwreck were entirely wiped away in the assurance that so able a staff of seamen had lls in their charge. There were naturally a few Casts of seasickness and various ones were tempted to throw up .tlgt-bra. Geometry and other disagreeable dishes and toss some of their best belongings overboard in times of rough sea, but the Stewardess assured them calmly but firmly that they would only have to consume these indigestihlcs over and over Pa Twenty-seven
