' 33 HISTORY BY NAMES Proud but shy, fifty-two venturesome shipmates arrived September I6th, 1930 to build our ship of service in which to sail to our castles of Spain. After a few days of turmoil and excitement, plans progressed and construction began. The Fomnaii ' s duties were not all Bliss, but caused many Aiken days. Among our shipmates was a Fisher man, a Miller, a Stewart, and a Taylor, who left their trades to join our House- knecht. Although some of our time was spent with Tlwwp ' s son, Williaw ' s son, Steven ' s son and Dave ' s son, shipbuilding was not impaired. Some grew weary and drifted down a different Laine but soon the sails were hoisted and the crew felt Lepras of their attainment. On January 20th, 1931, our captain exclaimed, Ship Ahoy, and our voyage began with soMcCloudes in sight. Shouts of jov iroMassoll started the Jones ' mascot, a Beyerchen, asking IVatk n be the matter? The Kern ' t at times Cameyed us to greater depths but was also Sloan ' b ' storms. Still we drifted on. Our minds grew in UkeNes-h t by bit and as we looked back over the Pearly ocean our progress seemed real. Our faithful Scots, AicGree or and McPhear- son smeared with Hein i ' ich catsup. With strains of Carrv me Back to old V re ma and tales from Dickens inspiring us, we plodded upward to the S e. Before we had realized it, the Junior Island was in sight and Utility would soon begin. The Oforsaid crew hope to hear the captain command, Your voyage is completed, so Bringham ashore. LK- cS, ' 33.

N H Sophomore Class Officers Cordelia Nixon President Helen Mullen Vice-President Pauline Alberts Secretary Mai.-jorie Kiernan Treasurer Cordelia Nixon Sophomore Class History ON THE EVENTFUL DAY, Januarv 20, 1931 a group of tremulous young maidens entered in a hushed silence the shadowy but stately halls of the Education Building. Upon registration our big sisters escorted us to our rooms, our homes- to-be for three rears. Then we were left all alone — all, all alone in the solitude of our massive quarters to unpack — little realizing what spasms of utter loneliness we were about to experi- ence. The yearning for home in this new and strange environment caused such intense heartaches that we all wondered whether we should ever live through it. January 22, 1931 we Probies with an assumed air of studiousness started the toil and grind of classes. What difficulties we encountered ! ! Such tongue twisters as streptococcus, gastroenterostomy, polymorphonuclear leucocytes, etc. In due time in a state of excitement bor dering hysteria, donned in snowy white uniforms we promenaded to the floors and experienced the thrill of our first real nursing feeling all thumbs. May, the month of spring fever and poetical tendencies brought us our greatly anticipated rewards — dainty organdy caps. Upon coronation we regretfullv hid adieu to Probie Days for ever. The day following capping we were abruptly roused from pleasant dreams by the incessant shrieking of our buzzers; that day began the routine of eight hour duty. Then one dav we received our first crisp ten dollar bill, making us feel like multi- millionaires. We thought it would last endlessly but found hose with runners and empty tubes of tooth paste to be replaced, soon ate it up. Finally summer davs passed, bringing autumn with cool days and too, the new Probies. We attempted to make their welcome half as warm as ours had been. Then on September the 9th we left to enjoy our first vacation. After four glorious weeks, our class returned eagerlv to resume its former duties and to join in the various activities of the school — swimming, basketball. Old Fashioned Dancing, Y.W.C.A., Association and the like. We hope with coming years to be able to contribute to and help ni.untain the high standards of the our school. [66]
