Far and wide this class is noted: You may ask our teachers true. This is the answer always quoted- - The Seniors are all true blue, The first on the roll of honor Is the president, small but fine.

SCARLET Es WHITE until they were perfectly assimilated, and so they bravely managed to hold them down. VVe noticed at the outset of the voyage that the stream upon which we had set sail was comparatively narrow and sheltered but using our field glasses we could see such wide vistas of water ahead that we were led to inquire of the Captain the significance of the situation. He explained to us that the Voyage of High School Life was in reality to be over seas, thougll the four bodies of water were so closely joined together that they seemed but one immense sea. He informed us, further, that we had just entered upon the first and smallest of these, which was called Freshman Sea. The usual intimacy of shipboard soon sprang up between us voyagers and we have been loyal shipmates ever since. Vlle sailed over Freshmen Sea and received checks of identification from the Purser almost before we knew. It would take too long to read the complete log of this eventful voyage. It would be very interesting to tell the many delightful experiences, the many wonderful lessons, the changes in the passenger list at the various ports along the way, the partings from this one, and welcoming of that, with the why and the wherefore of it all, but after all, it has but little significance except to ourselves the few who still remain together to land tonight at Commencement Wharf. VVe must not divulge the secrets of our shipmates. VVe must not forget the loyalty done to our class colors so valiantly flying at the masthead. The best and most vital history of any person or thing is never given of the world. So must it be with the class of 1920! Page Twenty-eight lt has been a most wonderful voyage and we have accumu- lated many souvenirs from every port, striving, however, to guard against the danger of excess baggage, and of taking unto ourselves anything which would not be of service to us on the yet Greater Voyage of Real Life upon which we are this day to embark. We have not faced any gale which we are not able to withstand. WVe have not been wrecked upon the shoals of any threatening task. The tides of our averages have continued to ebb and flow, the waves of mathematical problems have kept upon their ceaseless motion and com- inotiong the billows of examination questions have sometimes tried their worst to overcome usg but none of them has suc- ceeded. Vlle have been able to procure the necessary passport at the entrance of each succeeding sea, and have been able to pay the price in good hard work for every part of the passage. VVe have sympathized with the seasiek passengers that made up the various new classes. Vlle have enjoyed the successful experiences of those who have landed on other shores. Now we look at the larger, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experiences has fitted us to withstand every storm, and weather any opposing force with no fear of dis- aster, saying with Byron-W 'tltoll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain! But not in vain the Class of 1920! We will go on writing new logs of greater adventure, and yet more wonderful discovery, for while the Voyage of High School Life is at an end, the Voyage of Real Life is just now and here at its triumphant Commencement!
