It was a calm peaceful day in September of the year 1919, radiant with the sunshine of hope and joyous promise that the good ship, Goode- Barren Township High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new sehool year. lt was the same old ship that had carried several passengers to the safe harbor in the Land of Wisdom. but this was a gala day in its history, for nineteen important personages were about to set sail in seareh of the Land of Knowledge. As the ship stood at anchor on that eventful morning, the passengers began to arrive. To me was entrusted the important task of writing the log of the voyage, that, even then we all realized was to be the most im- portant of our lives. .lust before we sailed l looked at the ship's register, and read the names of: Margaret Hatcher. Macile Vlark. Georgina Mitehell, Amelia Tonozzi. Ruby fl0l'lil'lllIl, Montella Lewis, Perry Mcflollom, Edna Sclunuck, Marie Britton. Kenneth Tippy., George Minor, Celia Zarfas, Helen Hill, Matilda Rasso, lVillie Sneddon, John Ularke, lVilliam Minor, Sadie Packman, and Pauline Martel, all bound for the same port. At nine o'cock A. M. we steamed out of harbor for a four year's ab- senre on our Voyage of High School Life. This voyage was in reality, to be over four seas, though the four bodies of water were so closely joined together they seemed but one immense sea. The first. and smallest of these was the Freshman Sea. At first this was a rough and tempestuous sea. Only those who are experienced can realize the dangers of those troubled waters, but we were young and socially inclined, so it did not take us long to become acquainted with our fellow-passengers. and the fears of ship- wreck were soon gone. At last we sailed safely -into the Sea of Sophomore, without the loss of one. Life on this sea was very pleasant. lVe had beeome accustomed to sailing and seasickness was now a thing of the past. Many festivities were held on board that year. and we passengers were reluctant to leave the Sophomore Sea that had held so mueh joy for us. On a peaceful morning in September, 1921, we steamed into the -lun- ior Sea. This was indeed a pleasant voyage, and everyone was happy. be- cause it was at the beginning of this voyage that we were transferred from the old leaky vessel to a beautiful new cruiser, t'New High School Build- ing . But toward the close of the year, Montella and Edna decided that the Sea of Matrimony would be smoother sailing, so they embarked for Martial Bliss. It would take too long to write here the complete log of this eventful voyage. lt would be very interesting to relate the many de- lightful experiences, and the changes in the passenger list at the various llllllllllllllHtlHIIIl?lltlllllllllIllIIllIlllIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHlIllllIIIIIIIIilllllllllllllllllllltllllltll'llllllllllllllllIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllIIllHHllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllll
