H. S. Our first duty was to select those who were to lead us. Oscar Clark was selected as our Captain. After a time, however, he dropped overboard and sank from view, and a new election was necessary. This time Harold McGee, little but mighty, was elected and he has been a successful Captain. Our voyage seemed hardly to have begun when, in the distance, over the waters far away, something dark seemed to loom up. Destruction seemed approaching, but after all, it was only a test of our work done in the past few months. We sailed on and passed through the darkness. Our number was replenished with new sailors just fresh from training. We worked and toiled without end. We wanted G. H. S. to be proud of her sailors. The first harbor was rising out of the distance and with one more brave effort we advanced into port with flying colors. A reward was ours, three whole months of freedom from the sea. In September of ’24 we again set sail. Our hopes were high; our standards soaring. “Mack” was again elected as our Captain and we set to work with a will. A number of our boys became noted workers in the games on board. Some of them were Cecil Lawlyes, Raymond Savage, “Mack” McGee, Verlin Starks, Reesie Jones, and “Jawn” Ramey. Some took part in football, others in basketball. But the boys were not the only workers. Our girls’ team won the cup offered as a reward to the inter-class basketball winners. Time flies—our second goal is approaching. The rest of our voyage lies a blank before us to be sailed through day by day to a bright, glorious, and long sought harbor. A. L., ’27. Page Twenty-ove
