SENIOR RECORD H. T. H. S. JANUARY, 1930 TEE EISTCEY CE 193C When in 1926 the old crew of the school ship of Haverford took its final leave, the new comers were entrusted with the craft to keep its colors flying. Although new at the work, preparations were made for a long journey. They elected for captain Jack Wistar, and Erwin Davis served as first mate. Helen Hoffner was made trustee of the log book and Julian White looked after the ship’s wealth. So they set sail, and Jack guided the craft to bring it safely into port after a period of six months. Shore leave was demanded by all, and to celebrate, a picnic was held. When the furlough was terminated, they were instructed to sail the seas for a while in a Junior Ship, splendidly equipped and fitted to meet the battering waves of toil. Its grandeur was fully appreciated, but they were uneasy. After a brief interval the sailors made insurrection under George Byers and regained their beloved craft. Under the new officers, George Byers, James McCurdy, Mildred Davis, and George Rosengarten, the postponed trip was resumed. A calm sea and blue skies made sailing fine, and so an uneventful year passed. To make life on board more interesting, a Prom on shore was planned. It certainly was good to feel their feet on terra firma again and like true sailors each found a girl in port to conduct to the fes- tivity. They danced and drank punch till far into the night when the ship's siren warned them that they had barely enough time to make the boat again before the gang-plank was drawn up. Meanwhile to keep the crew’s spirit up a contest was held. Prizes were to be given to the best orators. While decks were scrubbed and rigging made fast, snatches of Mark Twain or Booth Tarkington could be heard. At last the contest was over and George Rosengarten was pronounced the champion. Thus another year was completed. It was a tired group which presented itself at reveille but all were eager to work, and the great final year was on. Every day was crowded with things to be done for the Senior Ball. The main deck was stripped of its paraphernalia and blue and gold were seen everywhere. The dance was a huge success and enough money was collected to pay most of the year’s expenses. The next thing on the program was a three-day shore leave at Washington. The sailors climbed steps, viewed beauti- ful scenery, and lived like kings. Some of the more daring of the crew kept the servants running, trying to obey their pretended needs. All went fine till funds were needed to continue the voyage. The only possible way to raise such an amount was to give a play. “The Goose Hangs High’’ was selected. The cast proved a good one and after six weeks the production was ready to be given. True to their expectations a fine audience turned out and enough funds were received to carry them through. And now the ship is headed for port. Each sailor sadly gathers his belongings and makes ready to walk down the plank for the last time and to receive his honorable discharge from the admiral of the fleet. Principal J. Frank Carter.
