Class Histor M 'lk Q Q xw H ' .iv ,. gl It WHS the eilrhth of September. 1924, a peaceful autumnal day, that the Good Ship Lima High School lay at anchor at the wharf of a new school year. Many people gazed upon it in wonder as they saw seven young ladies and eleven young gentlemen so gaily step aboard. It was rumored that they were about to set sail over new and untried waters in quest of the Fountain of Perfect Understanding. I was the first to be enrolled on the list of passengers, and to me was entrusted the task of keeping the log of the voyage. The voyage that even then we all realized to be the most important of our lives. As our ship was to leave promptly at eight thirty, the passengers soon arrived. When the gang plank was pulled up our register showed the following people aboard: Maud Cain, Marlo Schemahorn, Mary Johnson, Howard Cain, Helen Yunker, Paul Large, Unas Ernsberger, Donald Sweeney, Marjorie Mosier, Gerald Urick, Sherman Seaman, Warner Gillis, Mary May, Wayne Todd, Paul Wright, Winifred Horn, Paul Antonides. After the loud whistle of the ship moaned its farewell to those who had not yet completed the Grammar Grades, the ship steamed out into the harbor. We had actually embarked on our voyage of High School Life. Our ship made slow progress at first as the sea was rough and we were in constant danger of running onto shoals and reefs which endangered the first port of the voyage. But through the efficiency of our captain, we came out into open sea unharmed. We were nat- urally enthusiastic and asked many eager questions as to the incidents of our voyage and its probable length, and we were assured that if we were persevering and diligent we should reach our destination at the end of four years. We had noticed at the outset of the voyage that the stream upon which we had set sail was comparatively narrow, but now we could see such wide vistas of water that we were lead to inquire of the captain the significance of the situation. He explained to us that the voyage of High School Life was in reality to be over four small seas, though the four bodies of water were so closely connected that they seemed but one immense sea. He informed us further that we had just entered upon the first and smallest of these, the Freshmen Sea. We had several se- vere storms during the first year and twice we stopped at foreign ports to let some of the passengers land. Then at last we entered upon the Sophomore Sea. For most of us this was a very smooth sea. The festivities aboard were very gay. It did not seem long until we sailed into the clear blue waters of the Junior Sea. This sea was very calm and beautiful. Our ship glided peacefully over its waters and arrived at the small gulf which connected the Junior and Senior Seas. Then after a few days' rest at a foreign port we sailed out upon the Senior Sea. This, from all appearances, was very calm and peaceful, but it was more dangerous than any that we had formerly cruised. We succeeded in going some distance when we came upon a small island called Scott. Here we took aboard four passengers. Now our register read: Paul Large, Marlo Schemahorn, Kenneth Strawser, Gerald Urick, Wilbur Stanner, Mary May, Helen Yunker, Laura Gooch, Ruth Kline, Eva Troyer, Mona Murray, Marjorie Mosier and myself. Several storms overtook us and drove us off our course, but by our skillful pilot we found it again. So tonight our ship lies at anchor at Commencement Wharf. hhhhhhhhhhhh 0000-O-0QQo+o-004099400-Q0-90+ 4444+000 PAGE 3
