McKee set foot on a ship to sail upward through the sea of education, Mrs. Retina Williams was their captain and led them through the first lap of their twelve year voyage. At the end of the first lap they rested for three months and in the fall of 1942 they weighed anchor with two more sailors, Lavora Bartow, and Dwayne Luck. Their captain that year was Miss Eula Cornett who guided them safely through the second lap of their voyage. But a paddle was added to help them over the rough places in the sea. When they sailed onward on their third lap they had Miss Blanche Ward as their cpatain who guided them safely over the high tide and stormy sea to fairer heights on to the fourth lap. They lost Dwayne Luck who left their ship to join them again on the ninth lap. Jack Shuman was the new sailor. They again took on more sailors, Joy Brinson, Louise Colton, Leota Hosler, Frances Taft, and Dewayne Hauth. Mrs. Bertha Bundle was their captain and helped them through the sandbars and on to the fifth lapof their voyage. Elsie Hancock and Roberta Johnson joined the sailors on their fifth lap with Mrs. Pat Aldridge as their guide through the first half and Mrs Miller through the second half. The sailors lost Mrs. Aldridge through death but will always have a place in their hearts for her. They also lost Leota Hosler who was to join them later in their twelfth lap. Roberta Johnson left this lap only to return the ninth lap.
