CLASS POEM They have built us a building Of brick and of stone, A building of massive size; They have flung up battlements. Have flung up gray stone I p toward the starry skies. They have built us a building So that we may learn. A building with friendly walls With Gothic arch and opal panes. With a classic frieze. And long and cool gray halls. Ami we give back to them service, A gift to them untold; We give them all we possess But the greatest gift of all ff ill last through the years— The Spirit of J. 11. S. CRI ON Page twenty

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY LOG I The xood ship J. H. S. had for many years been making voyages into realms unexplored. In the fall of 192.1 an unusual group embarked on this voyage. They elected Miss Della Thompson for Captain, assisted by Emmett Barton, first mate; William Walton, second mate; Betty James, secretary; and Olive Bray, purser. Gold and blue were chosen as the ship’s colors. The remainder of the first part of the voyage was spent in intent exploring of the unknown. LOG II The next year these passengers, no longer regarded as unskilled seamen, elected a new group of officials, with George Milburn serving as first mate, as- sisted by Mary Frances Breeding, with Frances Frisch as secretary, and Emmett Barton, purser. This year their stunt for the Carnival was a very unusual and original “Goop Dance,” which was greatly appreciated by all the other passengers. The mental status of the group was also shown, as many of them had high scholarship averages. LOG III This year the time was looming near when the passengers must disembark. Early in the year they elected Miss Clara Smith, Captain; Donald Woods and Margaret Osborne for first and second mates; Katherine Beck as secretary, and Mary Jane Wilson, purser. For the Carnival they presented ‘‘Ramesis Dream,” a unique and successful stunt. The biggest event of the year was the Ship’s Ball, at which these passengers entertained the rest in a way that won the admiration of everyone. In preparation of the last lap of the log, members were chosen to edit the “Crimson J”, the final record of the group. Lela Ferreira was made editor-in- chief and John Cusic, business manager. LOG IV These passengers have reached their last stage—the fourth year on ship board. This time Emmett Barton again served as first mate; Mary Frances Breeding, second mate; William Walton, secretary; and Marjorie Bossarte. purser, with Hugh Osborne as Board of Control member. Frances Frisch, who had served as a former officer, was this year chosen as editor-in-chief of the ship’s paper. Now these able seamen, their four years’ journey completed, have disem- barked on the Isle of the Future, leaving their best wishes to all remaining on the good ship J. H. S.
