L. H. S.-1929 RAVELINGS Uhr Olruinv nf 'EH IT WAS a very enthusiastic and cheerful group of sailors who gath- ered on the docks of Leesburg, ready to go on a four year cruise. A long journey was before us and our destination was Port Gradua- tion. We boarded a large ship called Leesburg High School on Monday, September 8, 1925 and set sail. We strove for the highest and our aim was that glorious Olympic peak Success Our officers for that year were: Captain, Justin Stanley, First Mate, Leannia Val- entine, Master, Wayne Deckardg and Pilot, Mr. Chambers. We had not been on board long until we were introduced to another group of sailors, the faculty. One evening a meeting was called on deck and every one noticed and commented on the wonderful sunset. A dark red color lit the western sky and the golden sun was sinking when some one exclaimed, Our colors, Maroon and Gold. Several parties were held on deck and we became better acquainted with the other sailors. While out at sea We met another ship and some of their sailors decided to join us on our voyage, namely: Blanche Konkle, Fred Irvine, and Thelma Manuals but Thelma soon joined another crew. Under Captain Stanley's careful guidance, our Pilot, Mr. Chambers, steered us straight into the Sophomore Harbor. One year of our voyage spent. We parted then for four months and assembled again in September and set sail once more. This year the following officers were chosen: Captain, Wayne McCann, First Mate, Millard Wallace, and Mistress, Mae Stookey with Mr. Harmon as Pilot. Justin Stanley, Fred Irvine, and Wilbur Vancuren failed to locate our ship but Carl Kilmer had joined us on our journey. Violet Boone, however, fell overboard and was rescued by a fishing party who took her to shore. One peaceful day Captain McCann announced that he could see the Junior Harbor looming in sight at a distance. We packed our trou- bles and landed safely. Were we glad? Yes, but it meant one more glorious year of our cruise had ended. We set sail from the Junior Harbor in September. Our officers were: Captain, Everett Bortong First Mate, Maurice Barehamg Second Mate, Hazel Dawson, Third Mate, Carl Kilmer, Mistress, Mae Stookey, and Pilot, Miss Yeager. At this port we lost Edward and Lallah Laugh- lin but Everett Borton and Mary Austin had joined us. One day We received an S. O. S. call from another ship, and after hurriedly sailing over there, we took Harold McKibbin on board but Harold and John Page Eig.-:htee

The ship was decorated in red roses, our flower. We landed on an island called Thanksgiving, for a few days vacation. Here we purchased and presented a banner to the sailors known as Seniors In April we entertained the Senior crew at a re- ception. We set sail from our Senior Harbor last September-with a crew of twenty-two Seniors. 0ur officers chosen were: Captain, Loman Dotyg First Mate, Wayne Deckard: Second Mate, Carl Kilmerg Third Mate, Mary Austin: Mistress, Milla Kirkendallg and Pilot, Mrs. Wallace.
