V L . 26 EPHANIAN 1928 Senior Prophecy lt was on a bright August afternoon in 1945 when I went aboard my ship for an extended trip to Europe. I intended studying the conditions of several of the lesser countries and then writing a book on my discoveries. On deck 'I spent much time in reading other books of travel. Many days were spent in this way-reading and studying in preparation for the book l was to write. One day my reading was interrupted by the cries of Hlland ! Land l 7' I knew that we should be far from land and soon discovered that we were out of our way and were evidently lost. Upon inquiring l was informed that somehow we had lost our course and were in a very dangerous position in very shallow water. Much fuel had been used and the supply was running low. lf only we would receive help! To our very great amazement we sighted a ship coming toward us. As it came closer we could easily see that it was a pirate ship. Vile signaled to them that we needed help. They seemed very friendly to us and said they would take some of the passengers on board. Vwfe boarded the pirate ship not knowing where they were taking us nor what would happen to us. One day to my very great surprise whom should l meet on board but Mr. Higgins, one of my former principals, who informed me that he was captain. ln our conversation he gave me some information as to what the Class of '28 were now doing.

1923 EPHANIAN 25 The Pirate Cruise 'Twas on a bright September morning, four years ago, that a band of pirates gathered on the shore at ldlementary School Harbor. They had plun- dered the harbor town and were taking with them treasure in the knowledge they had obtained. It seemed as though clouds had come to darken their sky because they knew not what was beyond Elementary School Harbor. They boarded their pirate ship which carried the usual emblem of pirates. the cross-bones and a skull. but, as one peered closer, o11e saw the words C'lass of '28'7 painted below the skull. The sails spread apart a11d the eruise began as the ship left the shelter of the harbor. The first part of the journey was rough and windy. Another band of pirates known as Upper t'lassmen plundered their ship and painted their band with various colors of paint. NVith some difficulty they entered Fresh- mantown and gained supplies to continue their journey. Some of the members ol' the band decided to stay in l4'reshmantown, and so the ship sailed on. , . 1 , , Q .1 bophomoreland was the next stopping place. 'lhe sails ot the shi m needed repairing and they decided to remain here for a year. They joined Clubs and obtained more treasure which they termed HKnowledge. Pirate contests were helTl, known as ',fXTH'Ieties, andefhey won fame for their band. At -Iuniortown they showed their ability by their able participation in the Ilistory Play, Dramatic t'lub. Taggart Prize. Operetta, Chorus and History t'lub. They gave a great feast in honor of their mighty friends who lived ill Seniorland, which was located farther down the river. mained in which they would all be together. Their Lyceum Course was nit over in great style and the more gallant of the pirates were represent rd in the various sports. They thought they ought to leave some kind of a hook in order that other pirates would know what they had done. An annual was a future possibility which all too soon became a realization. The end of thc pirate cruise was marked by the presentation of the be-ribboned diplomas for their faithfulness during the journey, The end of the cruise was reached at Seniorland. But one more year re- .. L. I 1 The pirates of 1928 must leave their band and each one go his own way, sailing on to greater and wider opportunities. XVe will sail O11 down the River of Life to make greater names for ourselves and do greater things than we have thus far succeeded in doing. May these things be successful, proving that we have gained something worth-while from our associations with one another. Now each and every one of the pirates of the Class of 1928 with gladuess and yet with sadness, gives his Adieu to dear old Palestine High. -Louise VVcschenmoser, '28.
