I 'PHE MEETING POT I I I JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall ot 1921, all was hustle and excitement at Empire Township High for the good ship 1921 started out on the first of four voyages, to he completed in 19:25. Miss Julia Hindle was at the helm and Marjorie Riley at the hridgeg and with them sailed a crew of forty-two. Not long after the voyage was well under way they made a stop at Weiner Island. Here they roasted weine1's and had a great time under the direction ot Commander Ilindle. On board were a few athletes, who were in after years to make names for them- selves. Among them were: Jack Harrington, Leonard Crantill. Philip Keenan and others. As we were nearing Valentine Port, we decided to stop there. Everyone will vote that the first visit to this port was indeed a grand o11e. At the end of our first yeur's voyage a few of our seamen fell overboard, while taking the tests at the end of the year. 4 Heave Ho! Lads. we're hound on our second year's cruise with Miss Hindle again our Commander and Jack Harrington as our Captain. Our crew had increased to forty-six by this time and we were prepared for an eventful voyage. Again we stopped at IVeiner Island and enjoyed a weiner roast, As we had a good long stay here we decided to visit Hallowe'en Cave. the home of all spooks and Jack 0'l.anterns. There we were delighted hy il mock wedding which a few members of our crew participated in. Harris Dean was the ln-ide. Charles Schafer. the groom, and Philip Keenan. the minister. As we had decided to make an animal visit to Valentine Port, we decided to have the Good Ship, 1923, call and the officers and crew to he our guests. A rare time ensued. Tl1e Joyous end of our second year's cruise was saddened hy the loss of more of our good seamen from the tests. Some fell overboard and others had to go to land because of sickness. We have now reached the third cruise of our good vessel and a new set of oflicers come on hoard. They are Commanders Franz and Gordon with George Gillock at the helm. We again visited Weiner Island mid the Hallown-'en Cave much to the delight of our new crew and ofiicers.. We made a stop at a new Island this time hy the name of Christmas Island. Every- thing was decorated with holly and evergreen. The Christmas spirit possessed everyone. Time flies on a voyage such as ours and we find ourselves approaching the end of our third year's cruise, dreaming of the many happy and unknown events which are hound to come in the cruise of 1925. 3 l 1 19 2.4 l E221
