CLASS HISTORY 19 The mighty ship The Skipper set sail on its four-year cruis along tne pathway of life one bright day in September, 1925 with a crew numbering thirty—seven. Under the command of skipper Elva Sholberg with First Mate, Agnes iVorlund and Pilot Henry Bangs a successful journey was completed. In deck sports as well as other activities the crew showed up splendidly. The iirst year completed safely, the old officers retired and an entirely new set was selected to pilot the ship. Skipper Jack Hawkins, First iuate, Marion McKay, and Pilot Eunice McCrory pilotec The bkipper successfully during the second year of the cruise. Due to sea-sickness and other illnesses a few members of the crew had to be transported to shore. Again a new set of officers was selected. During the third year, bicipper Marion McKay, First Mate, Eunice McCrory, and Pilot Agnes .Yorlund turned out a crew that was far better in sportr and other activities than any other ship in the fleet. The last lap of the journey is now reached. To steer the ship safely, Clara Kilbourn was selected as Skipper, Gladys Holder aa First Mate, and Mildred Hoglund as Pilot. One of our loyal snipmates, Eunice McCrory was transferred to a foreign port. The Skipper, in preparing the report of the journey, made special note of the prominence of some of the sailors in the basketball field. They have gained the admiration and praise of all in the fleet, and likewise our debators, who during the four year cruise, made the Fleet Debating Team. The brave ship The Skipper at last hac entered port with a crew of twenty—three, for a brief interval before leaving on the long cruise along the highway of life.
