A Cruise on Life's Way Our trip was a little more hazardous this year. The ship followed a perilous journey through the mine-fields of infantile paralysis, flu, and scarlet fever. Our Admiral told us that we should not worry, lout that each of us should Keep Healthy and do his part. ln this Way we can do the most for the safety and defense of our country. We have tried to live up to the health rules and also to make our minds strong by study. Our crow of thirty-seven was cut to thirty- four. Betty Holt moved to New Haven, Wallace Comment to Besancon, and Eunice Taylor to Fort Wayne. Among the outstanding events of this year was a cruise to Fort Wayne at Christmas time. We visited Pioneer lce Cream Factory, Eskay Dairy and Per- fection Biscuit Company. The operetta was a delightful experience to all. Our room supplied the elves and fairies for the Land of Make Believe. Now, with the coming of spring, we find that we have journeyed through this year of Third and Fourth Grade experience and have reached the port of Pleasant Vacation. 26

A Century of Progress That was the theme of the New York World's Fair and in so many ways the ideas and accomplishments of the past century with forecasts for The World of Tomorrow most vividly presented. Our Year of Progress has been a very enjoyable one and we feel that our ideas are greatly enlarged and our ability to accomplish things much improved. Our days have been filled with a great deal of work and some play. We have had our various parties: Hallowe'en, Christmas and Valentine. A trip to Decatur was very instructive, and we are looking forward to the after Easter trip to Fort Wayne where we will visit the Allen County Historical Museum and several other places of interest. We enjoyed having parts in the operetta, The Cobbler of Fairylandf' Betty Rexroth one of our fifth grade girls was princess Delmarie. The other fifth and sixth grade girls were Cooks and the boys were Cobblers. Our art work has been seasonal and interesting. At this time we are drawing many kinds of birds and are learning to identify the live ones. This school year will soon close, but we hope that the lessons we have learned and the inspiration we have received will continue to enrich our lives as we go forward into the World of Tomorrow and that we may all return in the fall for another Year of Progress. 25

Sailing On September 2, 1940, eleven new seamen boarded the Ship of Progress in a new life. lt has been a beautiful and wonderful voyage full of enriching experiences and fun. With these eleven were seventeen old seamen spending their second year of service. But in the hurry of things we have lost three old shipmates from the second year service, Shirley Holt and Norman Hughes to New Haven, and Grace Taylor to Fort Wayne. Last fall We had a Halloween party with a customed parade, and at Christmas, Santa Claus loaned us a lovely replica of his castle at the North Pole. lt was snow white with windows through which light gleamed brightly. Valentine day we had a box and red and White favors. Bunny Rabbit made his annual call at Easter. We kept Soapsuds, a real rabbit for several Weeks, and our tropical fish aquarium has furnished much interest. The cactus garden bloomed bravely in the spring. Everyone is well and happy as the Ship of Progress sails on its course Way into the vast Unknown. 27
