74 THE LANTERN Qlass Qfoem They conquer who believe they can keeping our motto in mind, we began To guide our footsteps up the hill That leads to success and upward still. Strive and climb to success and fame. Ever upward is our aim. Be brave, work hard, be strong within, lifith dauntless courage you're bound to win. The path of life we watch unroll, As, upward and onward, we near our goal. The mountain of trials each day seems higher, But to conquer it is our desire. So ever faithful and patient we'll climbg Be strong and wrestle with storms of time. In reaching our goal, our purpose is won, And aglow with pride we'll say, ' 'Tis done' -Alice Bredfeldt, Glass Qfistory What was this? A headline caught my eye. Bateman Raised. Valu- able Cargo On Board. Underneath this headline was an article which read as follows: All the passengers of the ill-fated Bateman, which ran aground on the shores of Success, are requested to come to a meeting which is to be held at the home of Miss Argo, first mate of the Bateman. The captain, Miss Sanders, being out of town, Miss Argo is to take charge of the meeting, which will be Sunday, April 18, 1930, at 2 p. m. Valuable cargo and gold were found when the Bateman was raised, and also something which is sure to interest the passengers more than anything else, namely, the Log of the Class of June '26, Although it is four years since the Bateman ran aground, most of the passengers are expected on Sunday, as many memories belonging to them will be given to those who claim ownership. Miss Argo's address is 922 Wilson Ave. So the good old Bateman had been recovered at last! It was Friday evening and the meeting was to be held on Sunday. How anxious I was! Finally Sunday came, and at the given time I was seated in Miss Argo's reception room anxiously waiting the entrance of Oscar Muller, who was to read the Log of the Class of '26, He came at last and after a short address of welcome he began to read: The Log of the good ship Bateman for the voyage from Grammar School through the Sea of Homework to the Port of Success. Captain E. Sanders. Sept. 5, 1924. Left Freshport today. VVeather quite fair. Passengers seem to fear the sea. Have exceptionally good C1'CW. y

THE LALNTERN 75 June 25, 1925-Port junior. The voyage from Soph Port was exceptionally rough and many of the passengers would have succumbed to seasickness but for the encouragement and sympathy of the crew, who ministered to the discouraged passengers, thus helping them in their darkest hours. Yet, in spite of the wonderful help and co-operation of the crew, some of those on board had to be put off at Port Junior, while the rest of us continued on our journey. Some of the crew left the Bateman at junior to serve on the ships Mayfair and Hibbard. Good luck to them! ' December 1, 1925. Nothing but storms since leaving Port junior. Judging from the looks of things, the hardest part of the journey lies before us. We hope for the best, however, and, as we are by this time hardened to rough seas, we feel confldent of reaching Senior in good health and spirits. Feb. 1, 1926. At last! The Senior port is reached. One more last lap and our journey is ended. The trip from Junior was as predicted rough, but very eventful and educating. Many entertainments and dances helped to amuse the pas- sengers. A party was given for those passengers who had proved themselves capable of doing their share in the work of the world. These passengers are leaving us at this port, and it is the duty of those left on board to take their places. In six months we leave this ship and in those six months we must prove ourselves worthy of the Bateman. April 9, 1926. Had a wonderful party today. Everyone was in costume, and the whole ship was one mass of color. The passengers furnished the entertainment. June 1, 1926. Are nearing the port of Success. Terrible storms, high seas and sick passengers. June 18, 1926. VVeather very bad today. Storms in the evening. June 18, midnight. This is the last time I shall write anything in the Log. The ship is sink- ing! We ran aground about two miles from Success, near the reefs of Failure. The Effort boats were lowered and all the passengers have been removed. Now we, the captain and crew, may also leave the ship. The Bateman was a good, true, old ship and it is our hope that her passengers will remember her. No one said a word as Oscar finished speaking. How well we all remem- bered that night! There had been some who perished in the raging waters and did not reach the shores of Success, but they were few, very few. Most of us had tried to honor the name of Bateman and now, how happy we were that she had returned from the deep and brought us the treasured memories we had long missed.
