XJ!! f N: 1 gf f Q - .1 35 ,VA D cmss HISTORY In September, 1935, a group of thirty three excited voyagers gathered at F. H, S. to board the ship of nKncw1edgen. Like Columbus everyone had a spirit of adventure and hopes were high but our ideas of what lay beyond were quite vague. We were ushered onto the upp er deck and introd ced tc our pilot, Mr. Ralph B. Hoover, who tried very much to make us feel perfectly at home. However, we were very timid. despite our enthusiasm, and each of us had some doubts about the advisablllty of setting sail on so long a journey. But when our pilot assured us that we could easily attain our destination if we extended a little effort the group settled down and started on the four year voyage, At the end of the first two weeks we were all well acquainted and realizing that we needed a captain, we elected Henry Derbyshire to that position, with Geraldine Baltaley Arlene weikert and Horace Neely as his able assistants. Some of the group were inclined to sea sickness and a few of the dishes, such as Latin, did not appeal to them. There were also several with whom sea'l1fe did not agree at all so they decided to disembark at one of the small ports. However, the remainder decided to do their best to become adjust- ed to these undesirable foods and before we realized it spring arrived and we were inform ed that we would anchor until fall. Our second and third voyages brought us to new shores in the Nworld of Educationn. We were given a new pilot each year but kept the same captain. Several of our crew left us and it was necessary to secure new helpers for the captain, As we grew more accustomed to the new life we were given more responsibilities and with them the privilege to use what talents we possessed. In our third year, with Mr. E. H. Slaybaugh as pilot, we were cond- ucted to the theatre of the ship where we presented our first play. Our crew being of the adventurous type we selected the mystery play, nHobgoblin Housen. Then before anchoring we made plans to get together during the summer in order to prepare for our last and beet voyage. Captain Derbyshire left us and Esther Mae Geigley was elected to take his place. Her new assistants were Robert Newman, Elise Newman and Regina Hankey and the rest of the crew aided more than ever. In the fall of 1958 we set sail fdr the last time with Miss McCleaf at the helm. For some time it seemed that a few did not chew their food well enough and were ill during a great part of the trip. The sea was rougher and hard work was necessary to keep the ship on its true course but in spite of this there was more fun to be had. We presented still another play, nPast Thlrtyu and had many dances and good times in the recreation hall of our good ship. As the nship of Kncwledgen was being towed into port we reflected on the happy experiences of the past four years. 0ur pilot informed us that we had 'only cross- ed the bay, the ocean lay before us . As in our past experience we shall find that the pleasure attained from these next voyages will depend upon our seamanshlp and perseverance, After our commencement days are over we will each set sail to discover new worlds in boats of our own.
