OUR VOYAGE Out of the harbor into the deep channel-yes, thats what we find has actually happened as we look back over the last few years. In September, 1933, thirtyfnine small and slightly shaky little passengers came aboard the U. S. S. Francisco to embark on a voyage of readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic. The passenger list read- Nellie Arnold Mary J. Hopkins Eva jean Rainey Anna Lee Burns Winnie Hume joseph D. Reavis Marie Burns Stanford Hyslop Robert Rembe Delbert Burns Mary E. Johnson Arthur jr. Scott Mildred Beasley Phyllis King Edward Richard Seale Anna Lou Chappell Elizabeth Lockwood Raymond Shanks Donald Collins Marjory Loveless Veradine Schlamp Robert Crecelius Paul Meadows Lucille Snyder Freddy Curless Robert Ross McEllhiney Alice Marie Tyree Betty Lou Dejarnett Billy Nelson Leona Weber Duard Edwards Harold Osborne Norma Jean White Sophia Gentry Joe Osborne Robert Whitman Ray Virgil Green jerry Ott Grace Young We had smooth sailing through the first eight years, stopping only at the sta' tions marked along the way to pick up and discharge passengers. Those who were transferred to different ships were Delbert Burns. Marie Burns, Freddy Curless, Donald Collins, Duard Edwards, Sophia Gentry, Marjory Loveless, Ray Virgil Green, Eva Rainey, Robert Rembe, Paul Meadows, Arthur Scott, jr., Billy Nelson, Jerry Ott, Edward Seale, Raymond Shanks, Norma White, Robert Whitman, Alice Marie Tyree and Grace Young. Those who came aboard to finish the journey with us are Mary Frances Sloan, Barbara Miller, Ruth Thompson, and Carl Harbison. Others who were with us at some time during the years but not permanent pas' sengers were Mary Helen Clark, Harold Arbuthnot, Bobby Cox, Orville Cox, Char' les McQuery, junior Ostricher, junior Osborne, Howard Sirles, Noble Thompson, John Vickers, Billy Rembe, Bobby Dale Moore, Rosalie Rhodrick, Lillian Mier, James Bard Dardeen, Alice Green, john Green, Charles Miller, Noah Riley, William Wat' kins, Billy joe Wright, Mary K. Mattox, and Lillian Stiles. ' V In the spring of 1941, the members of the ship received invitations to begin a new voyage. Some called this voyage high school, some called it, higher learning. I guess the name really makes little difference because on the day we steamed out of the harbor we found thirty people aboard, and we were all christened green freshmen. We chose Miss Broadwell as our sponsor. Our president was J. D. Reavis, our vicefpresident was Bob Ross McEllhiney, and our secretary and treasurer was Stan' ford Hyslop. During this year's journey Buddy Witherspoon, Edwinda Abran, Hubert Gab' bert, Clyde Garrigus, Helen Tetrick, Louis Mitchell, and Betty Lou Dejarnett, decidf ed that they too might take a different course, so we bade them farewell and were off again.

I OUR VOYAGE Contd. We were christened silly sophomores as we started the second year of our voyf age. One of our former shipmates, Edwinda Abran, decided she would like to conf tinue her journey with us, so we welcomed her back aboard. While we stopped for Edwinda, two more passengers presented tickets and came aboard, they were Lorene Clark and Doris McGill, But to our sorrow we found that Imogene Bottoms, George Barker, Robert Peirson, Delta Burns, Virginia Clem, Chester Mitchell, and joe and Harold Osborne, would not continue the journey with us. This year we elected Mr. Casey as our new sponsor. Our president was Bob Ross McEllhiney, our vicefpresident was Stanford Hyslop, and our secretary and treasurer was Ruth Thompson. It was fall once more. Again we were setting sails to reach, our goal by 45. This year we were christened jolly juniors. We chose Mrs. Green as our sponsor. Our president was Stanford Hyslop, our vicefpresident was Bob Ross McEllhiney, and our secretary and treasurer was Ruth Thompson. A day that will be long remembered by this crew was the day we received our class rings. Every chest was just a bit puf- fed on that day, and hands waved proudly through the air for many days. f Then on March 31, the class presented their play entitled Mystery at World's End. Nice work! mates. Everyone on deck enjoyed it. On April 14, the juniors en' tertained the seniors at the junior and Senior reception. It was fun and exciting, but also just a bit sad because this made us realize our' journey was swiftly coming to an end. Before this cruise ended one of our mates Richard Dick Lockwood, joined the navy. We are proud that Dick is'one of us. The passengers came aboard again in the fall of 44 . This year we sailed under the name of dignified seniors . Since this part of our cruise.was so important we'll give you a day by day description by recording here a copy of the log from the cap' tain's quarters.
