Vanity Fair, S. S. Self Esteem, and N N fa the S. S. Common Sense set out on the most foggy morn, September 6, 1925, for ports f A. unknown. Such a jolly, self-supreme company as never before sailed the seas! They were 7' 157 in number, although the papers actually reported no less than 500, judging by the trunks l ' and trunks and trunks which piled themselves upon the top of the vessels. The light-headed- Q A A ness of the cargo was such as to float even the Leviathan, herself, in mid air. 8 A Les Captaines Stevens, Bowen, and Schmitt were approaching the grin-and-bear-it stage V j by the time the vessel reached the uport de premier. Q Nl Xf Nov. 17-A very disastrous crossing of the English Channel. We planned to witness a per- formance of Peter Pan at the old Drury Lane Theatre. However, if we had not had in l 9 . Ziew Marilyn Miller's delightful performance to urge us on, it is doubtful if any would ' l I Sim ave finished the voyage. ' ':- ' l QM, May 1-Unveiling ceremony took place today. After much protest and promises of annihila- ' H tion, several of the feminine passengers appeared in the personally conducted and duly A famous Schmitt Latin Plays. The frosh girls absolutely walked off with the production, , N jg but that is confidential-not a word to the Seniors, Ciceros or Caesars! I N fl 5 14 ' L ' 1 - . 1926-1927 1 hd Sept. 10-Terrific storms greeted us. The ship S. S. Self Esteem was damaged beyond repair. b Q Enough passengers have left the tour, so that we are comfortable in two ships. xf Dec. 27-A most stupendous event has occurred. Our own Captain Stevens has succumbed lj ki to the disease. No, not mal de mer, but Dan Cupid's fatalistic menace. In so many 1 f words, she has become Mrs. Dubow. Need we say more? ' 6 . March 15-So many vessels have been holding us up lately endeavoring to find out the cause ' , ' of so hilarious a cruise, that the girls on board have determined to Hoat a banner and X if 1 go our way unhindered. , N April 4-The most gala affair had on board last evening was indeed remarkable. Easter l ' bunnies to the right of you, Easter bunnies to the left of you, to make sure that guests would not lose track of the season, even though time is no factor in this journey. Chape- QQ rcgis beamed unseeingly fthanks to gorgeous corsages given them as a blinder by most Q F - a able studentsj. , 1 f 1 June 28-Struck the rocks along Disillusion Bay last night. The crew S. S. Vanity Fair were A transferred to what we now know is the best boat-The S. S. Common Sense. No one ' A A ' was lost-that is, no one of importance. I M v 1 r if f lj 5 4 F C e 1 .... - .....e . ..

We stopped at Port University and when we put out to sea . N 3 we found a most unusual stowaway. After due consideration, consultation and concession, QQ we have welcomed him to our number. Mr. Kent Pease! Q A A V R A - ' It's contagious. Another victim! Get thee behind us, Dan Cupid. Wasn't one - enough? Capt. Schmitt-fancy that-unpenetrable, invincible, independent-what pro- p tection have we of a lesser caliber? Miss Schmitt, how could you? Nov. 25-The weather, being a bit contrary, threw our company into a terrific nervous frame of mind today. Some one had the unfortunate thought that our cruise could not last 1 if forever. So, after much solemn contemplation of all Benny Neptune had to olfer accepted an insignia in the form of a ring, which if seen in any part of the earth, will Q 6 inform everyone that here, indeed, is a personage-a member of the crew extraordinaire N f Ny, 1928 1929 Sept. 5-We entered sea of Commencement in grand style. We have but one crew-a trusty and truthful crew they are-and one and only one Captain-Mrs. Rudy . Have you ever considered the trip would have been a complete washout without her? Nov. 23-24-Such gorgeous weather in these southern seas has restored good spirits and inspired our creative genius so that our surplus energy has given us the Senior Plays V une 1-Our charts tell us a sad tale-we are near Port Commencement AA une 3-We celebrated Baby Day '. It was a big success! Everyone acted naturally N' une 4-We reached the quarantine. No worse diseases were found than several cases of 'Armour malade , High Strikes and Insomnia. However, several exams to judge our Q f mental balance were taken and survived by most of our impatient crew 5 ' une 15-Oh, what a night! Hoboken, the Continental plus Christopher Morleys After W chance to sort o be ourselves-and did we hesitate? ' une 17-Our last dance on board was dignified and somewhat sad. We were landing in H N earnest this time. It would never be the same. So we danced and dreamed and planned N f , une 19-But of course the crew couldn t bear wearing hearts on their sleeves. So we dusted 5 A N up the grins, giggles, etc., and I think this night we convinced the world we were light Lf hearted as well as light headed V une 21-Its over-we re here. Our reception was oh, so dignified and solemn. Many A A hankies received their first real tear bath in years. But there is another Boat Ride ,Vg coming and its very uncertain and mysterious.
