kr' E 1 I E E I ' f ' J: The year l9Z4 is set down in history and distinguished from all other years for was it not in that year that the good ship Edua cation embarked from Ereshmania. We were a sturdy crew-those who were enjoying our first year. Our crew was stationed on the first deck. We were bound for that well-known harbor Diploma. Cur crew were about nfty strong and eager for new adventures. Our captain was Sully Lawing. who was replaced by Bessie Hall when he chose another destination. Qur first mate was Elizabeth Hoyle. We sailed through rough waters but nnally braved the sea, At the end of about a year's sailing. we reached a small harbor. Sophomoria. We stayed there until the next fall when we should appoint new leaders and plan new ideas for the coming year. ln the fall of l9Z5 we set off with renewed vigor, bound for that place known as Junioria. Qur captain was Melvin Karesh with Mary Erances Padgett and Emily Hunter as nrst and second mates. Gradually we were rising. Qur abode was now the second deck. Our crew had diminished, but in spite of that we started with full sail.' The winds, on the whole, were favorable and without much difficulty we reached our next port. We stayed here waiting for next fall. By the time everything was in readiness for departure, we were willing to meet anything coming our way. We were now Juniors and inhabited the third deck. Everyone held in mind the one main event-the Junior-Senior reception. Our captain was Page '1.LL'L'!7fU'f7I'!7l

Melvin Karesh with Bessie Hall and Emily Hunter, the first and second mates. On the way over. some of our crew boarded small boats and left for unknown places, and some became seasick and fell overboard. Doggedly we sailed onward with full sail ahead. Time drew nigh for the reception and, as one, we plunged whole-hearted into this new project. It was to be held in Elizabeth Holyle's state- room and apartment on the ship. After we spent some time mak- ing money, the reception took place. The Seniors condescended to come down from the fourth deck to join us. Much pep and enf thusiasm were in the evenings entertainment and everyone left joy- ous and light-hearted. Soon afterwards we reached port and dis- embarked with heads high, and eager for the coming year when we could at last have something to say and say it freely. The old ship was lying in the harbor and with a rush we boarded her in 1927. Immediately we took our place on the fourth deck and dared anyone to move us. Here. we overlooked the low- lying lands and the lower decks. Melvin Karesh was again our cap- tain. Sanders Guignard and Marjorie Kate Abernethy being our first and second mates. Several dropped out but those left were de- termined to keep up the old fight. On the way across, we published our log. THE PINE BURR, a record to remind us of our days on the ship. As our destination grew nigh, we regretted it. Even though we had talked of how good it would be to disembark from that ship Education. everyone had in his heart a deep sorrow, that of one who has lost a beloved object, never to obtain it again. And so. with bowed heads, we left the ship after Diploma had been reached, de- parting to places unknown, each seeking to set a standard for the world and to show our dear old ship appreciation for what she had done for us.
