—-- THE TOWERS 1948 I tl 4 9 PACiE SEVENTY-SEVEN them potatoes and onions and thus arrested the progress of the dread disease. As the ship neared the home port, great preparations went ahead to make her trim. The rigging was set up and tarred, the masts stayed, tlie ship scraped and painted inside and out. fter a voyage of one hundred and thirtv-fivc days they came up the harbour and by night lav snug, with all sails furled, safe in Boston Harbour, the long, perilous voyage ended. In those days the life of the common sailor was very hard. The captains had absolute power and many were brutal and cruel. The members of the crew could do nothing in self- defence while on ship, and except in a case of unprovoked murder, their complaints on shore had little effect. In the story we find many in¬ stances of the harshness which sailors were compelled to endure. Sick men were neglec¬ ted. or set to work when too weak to stand. Everything in the way of clothing the sailor bought from the ship was charged to him at a very high price, and lie was lucky if he had any of his wages left when the ship reached the home port after a long voyage. It is not sur¬ prising that tlie common sailor was careless and reckless. Letter to Doris -- (Continued from Page 25) and later in the Alumni. Last spring. I telephoned a number of former graduates in regard to the reunion. It was amazing how This is Edna Smith of Tech Alumni opened the way for easy con¬ versation. There was a common interest even though I knew some of them slightly or hadn ' t seen them for years. In June, several of the Alumni journeyed to Port Carling to attend the wedding of Bill Tom¬ linson. it was like old times when the crowd gathered to go places. The associations made in the Alumni have lasted through the years. Writing to you about the Alumni prompted me to glance through my Tech N ear Books of l ' )27-28-29. Made me wonder what had become of many of tlie students. Their work, families, joys, and sorrows. While walking through Hudson’s store I met our former classmate Mardie Holding. I nodded, -aid Hello, Mardie and continued on my way. Of a sudden it occured to me I hadn ' t seen Mardie for at least fifteen years and yet I -poke to lie- a s if I was accustomed to meeting Iter. I retraced my steps hut was unable to locate Iter. An opportunity lost. Thus tlie years retreat into tlie past and we lose touch. February marked tile 20th anniversary of the Alumni and it is to lie hoped the spark can he kept alive ail ' d that the Alumni will become a- strong as it should he with so many graduates leaving Vocational School each year. O dear! Talking about time, my family is due in one hour and I haven ' t prepared dinner. Bye now. Doris, and please write soon. As ever. EDNA.
