A-Sailing Cecile Lindau Far out beyond the skyline rim toward which we sail today There is a bigger, fuller life, can we but find the way. Where we shall ride to fortune’s shore where fame is wont to play. But as we leave the harbor and on this journey start, We take our hopes, our fears, our dreams—we leave with you our heart— With you. our school, our harbor. Hear our sighs as we depart. So with youth’s eyes of faith and hope we fearlessly set sail To brave the fierce and raging storms of rain, and snow, and hail— Sometime we’ll have it smooth and cajm, more often storm and gale. Some day you may be proud of us, some far-off day—not soon. Yet fates will watch the set of sails—they’ll rock and stir, and croon, And in the dancing waves they’ll see us reaching toward the moon. 1.1

The Log of the Steamship “Parrotania” Helen Felder February, 1922— Today the “Parrotania” left port on her maiden trip, with Pilot Guy Phil¬ lips at the helm. This trip is to be a trial, a year’s tour in foreign waters. If all goes well, the ship will dock at home in February, 1923, for repairs. Some weeks later— Steward Comer reports that mutiny is brewing among the crew, because Second Mate Ilall has taken to pulling their hair when they disobey her. Several hours later— All’s well. First Mate Killingsworth has effected a compromise. The crew is again peaceful. Sometime in April— This morning the well-known island, Adoration, was sighted. The “Parrotania docked there for a few hours, merely long enough to take on supplies. As old a thing as the island is, it presents a curious aspect, even to seasoned travelers. At several points there are fantastic pinnacles, the abodes of those glorious beings called Seniors, who are silently worshipped by less fortunate fellows beneath their sphere. December, 1922— Throughout this month the ship has been wending her way among small groups of islands. The passengers have evinced a great many different emotions over these. When we neared the Isle of Mathematics, interest was quickly aroused by the sight of the little trees growing in queer shapes and producing peculiar fruit. Everything on this island was in the shape of some mathematical figure —trapezoid, triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, and so on. Early in February, 1923— Today M ' r. Frederick Archer, president of the Steamship Company, was on hand to greet the “Parrotania” when she docked at home port. Later in February, 1923— About noon today the ship sailed out on her second voyage with one change in the crew. As Second Mate, Miss Edna Tyre succeeds Miss Willie Hall. This trip promises to be as eventful as the first. Sometime late in May— Affairs on board are becoming strained. Flirtations and deeper affairs of the heart arc so prevalent on the ship that something must be done to relieve the
