Senior Class History Mildred Gorsline, '13. N September, nineteen hundred nine, we boarded the Good Ship East. Our Captain, Ben Rannells, the First Mate, Dan Lothman, and Several of the Crew stood on the Bridge to welcome us. Then we sailed away on the Sea of Knowledge. We were taken to the Fourth-class Compartments, where we met the Rest of the Crew, who soon began to instruct us in the Mysteries of Algebra and Latin. We were called 'Flats' Qnot in Reference to the Shape of our Headsj and were the Objects of countless Qand pointlessj Sophomore Jokes. It was about this Time that we became enthused with the Spirit of the Good Ship East, and to this Day our Enthusiasm has never waned. In june we were granted a Furlough of Ten Weeks. When September came again, only the Strong-hearted returned, for the Good Ship East tolerates no Weaklings. Our Captain had been called to another Ship, and the First Mate now ruled in his Place. We also found that our old Enemies had been advanced to the Dignity of Juniors, and would have Nothing to do with usg so, as Sophomores, we wreaked our Vengeance on the Green and Unoffending 'Flats.' This Cruise was an Exceedingly Uneventful One, since as far as the Affairs of the Ship were concerned, we were absolute Nonentities. However, the next Year was very pleasant. The Time when we should permanently abandon the Ship was too far off to worry about, and we were heartily enjoying the Privileges granted us in Consideration of our Increased Respon- sibility as juniors. We were permitted to join Societies, to give Dances and other Social Functions. During this Period, there appeared many Budding Orators, due to the Efforts of Lieutenants O'Grady and Beman. Indeed, several of our Members were permitted to participate in a Clash of Tongues with Representatives from a Rival Ship, an Honor usually accorded to Seniors only. Finally, we embarked upon our fourth and last Cruise. We were contin- ually reminded that we were supposed to be Models of Behavior for the Entire Ship. Whether or not we have succeeded in this Particular, we have done our Best. On the very first Day of our Connection with the Good Ship East, we determined to conquer the Jinx of our Numeral '13, and to make ours the Best Class that ever left the Ship. We feel that we have done so. Now, our Departure is soon to take Place. Some of us will engage Passage on the Ship of Higher Education, and others will sail into the Sea of Work, but may none of us ever forget the Happy Days spent on the Good Ship East.
