L1W1L LIFE June, 192 Senior Memories While the embers still are glowing And the flame is fading fast, And we're pals all reminiscing, Of the happy four years past, Though the memories are happy We are just a little sad To think so soon of parting From the' jolly times we've had. From the freshman year we started Geared in low for quite a time, And our speed we've slowly gathered Cn the steady uphill climb. VVe were surely frisky freshmen With our studies just begun, We were entertained at parties 'Till we had our fill of fun. Another year rolled by so fast VVe shifted gears once more. Now into second- we became The mighty sophomore. This year is crowned with memories Of hundreds of events. 'Twas now that our class members VVere made club presidents. And also now the banner It is our pride to say, Bore the white and gold inscription, Lux Spirit - 27 J . At Lick our athletes were all strong, Invading first string teams, And interclass championships Were no longer hazy dreams. 'Twas here we shifted into high From merriment and game- A picnic held, debates were won And We hope a little fame. And now that we are seniors VVe wish we could reverse l And turn once more to start At the beginning of the verse. A senior dance, a journal out, We've stripped the gears of pleasure, But the spirit of the Tiger Is ours always to treasure. f Page 143

iLfW1L LIFEWYW , gg C Chnl, 19221- Deep Water I. MCDONALD, 29x. C D OD HARVEY was not exactly afraid of the water, but he was never the 15:4 first to plunge into the tank at Rockliffe High. In fact, the only reason .V- ll G - 'Q V I rg, 39,1 Q? that he swam at all was that his gym course called for it. His father l ' K' 1 wanted him to swim. 35' ii' He was a clean fellow and well liked by his schoolmates. He made good grades in all his studiesg on the field he excelled in football and baseballg and every season found him out for track. Yet in spite of all this, Rod found himself at the end of his seventeenth year unable to conquer his fear of deep water. Perhaps it was because swimming had been forced upon him all his life. Perhaps his unsuspecting father had been the cause when he had taken the three-year-old Rod out into ten feet of water and tried to teach him to swim. 'Perhaps it was developed when, during the war, Rod's uncle, Captain Charles Harvey, had gone down with his ship, locked in his chartroom by doors blocked and jammed with debris resulting from the explosion of a German torpedo inlthe engine-rooms. Rod had lived over in his mind the battle that his uncle must have fought against death. At night sometimes he could almost feel the water rising about him and the lung-bursting pressure slowly crushing out his life. He would become so dizzy that he found himself sweating and gasping for breath. These nightmares were growing less and less frequent, and Rod believed that he was getting over his fear. It was the summer vacation before his senior year that Rod, at his father's wish, shipped on a freighter as an ordinary seaman. XfVhen the trip was first suggested, Rod considered it a joke, but when his father again voiced his desire that his son should love the sea as Captain Harvey had, he agreed to make the voyage. He passed his lifeboat test and was signed on to the Charles C olller, a freighter bound from Seattle to Manila by way of Honolulu. He would be back in time for the beginning of the school term. When he went aboard the Collier, Rod found Captain Yardley to be a member of the modern school of sea captains. He was businesslike and efficient, valuing above all his record for fast trips. On the first night out, Rod thought that he had never known before what home meant. But the next day, after a brief period of loneliness and homesickness, he began to mix with the rest of the crew, with whom he shared the fo'c'sle. He found that they were all experienced seamen, friendly and willing to help him. Rod's hrst task was to scrape and paint an iron pipe railing on the aft deck. The scraping was difficult till he caught the knack of it 3 but with a few words of encouragement and instruction from one of his new friends, he progressed rapidly. Vtlhen he began to paint the railing, it was nearly noon and the sun was very hot. He straightened up to ease his back from the cramped position over the railing, and dropped the brush. Appalled, he saw it land directly upon the august counte- nance of Captain Yardley on the deck below. I: Page 163
