Our ship was manned excellently with twenty-four sailors-our Guiding Stars shining brilliantly and allof us well, happy and-green. We sailed smoothly and peacefully for some time and then we saw another ship bearing down upon us banefully. They had a confident air about them which we determined should not conquer us. With our colors at the top of the mast we entered the struggle. When it was over the victory was contested but certain it was that our colors, tho' tattered and torn, were still flying. This same ship turned up at one of our festivities later with their persecu- tions, but they soon weiried and left us to our peace. After this the good ship H- S. '12 proved agood friend to us. It seem- ed they had only been trving us. Our second year was s.nooth sailing, our Guiding Stars steer- ing us away from all strife and disunion. During this year and the one before we had lost some of our sailors who returned to shore for their own reasons. One addition, however, must be mentioned. In April our little New Yorker was received with joy. She proved a good sailor and one to be reckoned with. Our third year of sailing was over rough seas. Our work was hard but we did not mind. We entered into it with vim and en- joyed it. Then in April we wanted to show the Seniors on board the UF- H. S. 'l2 how we esteemed them and their position. We sent out a small skiff and invited them to come aboard our ship on April nineteenth. Thus we did our best in their honor. Now we are Senior sailors. We have tried to learn how to sail our seas well. We are able to plow through rough waters and endure storms without serious mishap. We are lords for rather ladiesb of the seas. Our Guiding Stars seem to favor us more than ever before and we are happy in our privileges. Still we are looking forward with nervousness and regret to the time not far away when we shall disembark from our beloved ship never to sail in it more as the class of '13, -Senior Rambler.
