SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in September of 1935 the good ship 1939 pulled up anchor for a four-year cruise on the Sea of Learning. More than a hundred passengers gathered at Lenoir Rhyne to begin that voyage. As a whole, they were very inexperienced sailors, but under the leadership of Captain J. L. Beam the first part of the cruise was completed with great success. On the second stage of the voyage, the passengers were known as Sopho- mores. For this part of the cruise Miles Whi tener was elected to pilot the group. By this time the passengers had gained confidence and experience. They were beginning to accomplish many things. Some of the passengers had been influential in the ports of Scholarship, Literary Work, Dramatics, and Athletics. Then the Ship 1939 entered into the third part of the journey. At this time the passengers became known as Juniors, and selected Marvin Cooke to be their leader. The passengers visited many ports, always adding to their store of knowledge. And then came the last part of the cruise. With Ralph Sharpe in command the ship was guided on to still greater ports. Each person on board rejoiced as he saw ahead of him the greatest of the ports and the final one of the cruise — that of Wisdom. During the four-year voyage the passengers encountered many storms, but they learned the true meaning of cooperation and friendship. They are no w ready to leave the Ship 1939, confident that the cruise has been successful. RUTH KeeveR, Historian.

THE CLASSES To the new land the English brought their language, their cus- toms and their judicial system. Their laws ruled the colonies, their legal theories framed the Constitution, and their George Washington established order in the new nation. Between the old land and the new there were ties of friendship which even Revolution could not permanently sever.
