H ,crass gg The Sea of Education has many moods. Its whirling winds and churly waters discourage and weaken some, but in others, these very obstacles arouse a fighting spirit, the will to stay on top-confident that beyond the stormy waters lies the shore. After every storm comes peace and sunshine, the waves dance, the blue waters smile. When at last the shore is reached, the voyager can say, It was a pleasant trip, too soon ended. In such an optimistic mood the S, S. Good Hope of 1935 set sail in September, 1931. What their voyage would bring, its passengers did not know. Inexperienced all, they looked with timorous, but hopeful, eyes upon the waters stretched before them. They saw about them other crafts, and were particularly awed by S, S. Success of 1932, the most important ship afloat at the time. After two years of apprenticeship they were permitted to choose lead' ers from among their own members. Eric Weiss was placed at the helm with Sophie Carlson as First Mate, Edward Shutt, Second Mate, and Helen Fitzgibbons, Purser. To Inga Jorgensen was entrusted the task of keeping the log of the memorable voyage. To map the course of the vessel, Mrs. Harstine was selected. With expert care and sagacious judgment she ful' Hlled her oilice until duty called her elsewhere. To take her place Miss Champaign was selected, a navigator of willing service and tireless effort. Once more Eric Weis too-k the helm, assisted this time by First Mate, Akin Toffee, and again by Second Mate, Edward Schutt, and Purser, Helen Fitz' gibbons. The vessel now drew attention to itself by the skillful presentaf tion of The Smell of Powder by two casts. As the goal drew nearer, the fight became harder, greater difficulties arose, yet more pleasures. Once more the navigating officer was changed. Miss Walsh, competent and experienced, took up the work, and Edward Schutt captained our craft, with Lillian Sherry and Elaine Davies as First and Second Mates, respectively, and again with Helen Fitzgibbons as Purser. The last days at sea are always eventful, and the passengers and crew have planned important activities: a mystery drama, a dance, an Exit Day revue, and as an enduring memorial of their voyage, The Quill. Yes, the sea may have been rough at times and some of us may have been lost beneath those turbulent waves, but for most of us, the ship has weathered every rock, the prize we sought is won, and on June 26th we reach the shore where we may christen our ship S. S. Success of 1935'.
