History—Class Voyage It was the tenth day of September, 1928, a calm, peaceful autumnal day, radiant with1 the sunshine of hop?, cheer and joyous promise that the good ship of Ma lison Heights High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new school year. It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom, hut this day was a gala day in its history, and many people gazed upon it in wonder as they watched the fifty hold and dashing hoys and girls as they stepped aboard, for it was rumored that they were about to set sail over new and untried waters in a qu st for the Fountain of Perfect I nderstanding. We were naturally very enthusiastic ami asked many eager questions of our Captain as to the incidents of our voyage and its probable length, and were assured that if we were persevering and diligent in our duties we should easily reach our destination at the end of four years So it was with hopeful hearts and smiling faces that we waved our han 'kerchiefs to those left behind in Grammar Grades, as we steamed away from the wharf and out of the harbor, actually embarked for a four years absence on our Voyage of High School Life. Our fears of shipwreck were wiped away in the assurance that so able a staff of seamen had us in their charge. There were naturally a few cases of seasickness and various ones were tempted to throw up Latin. Geom try and other disagreeable dishes and throw some of their best belongings overboard in times of rough sea, but the Stewardess assured them calmly but firmly that they would only have to consume these indices!ihles ever and over until th v were perfectly assimilated, and so they bravely managed to bold them down. The Captain informed us that we bad just entered th° Freshman Sea, the first and smallest of the four bodies of water which we had to navigate. The usual intimacy of shipboard soon sprang up between us voyagers and we have Iren loyal shipmates ever since. We sailed over Freshman Sea and received our checks of identification from the Purser almost before we knew. It would be too long to read the log of this eventful voyage. It would b very interesting, however, to tell the many delightful experiences, the wonderful lessons th • changes in the passenger list at various ports along the way; but after all it has but little significance except to ourselves, the few who still remain together to land tonight at Commencement Wharf. It has been a wonderful voyage. We have not faced any gale which we w?re not able to withstand. The tides of our averages have continued to ebb and flow, the waves of mathematical pioblems have kept up their ceaseless motion; the billows of examination |u stions have sometimes tried their worst to overwhelm us; but none of them has succeeded. We have been able to procure tin necessary passport at the entrance of each succeeding sea, and have been able to pay the price in good hard work for every part of the passage. We have sympathized with the seasick passengers that made up the various new classes. Now the twenty-eight of us see a glimpse of the larger, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experience has fitted us to withstand every storm, and weather any opposing force with no fear of disaster, saying with Byron, ‘’Roll on thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain.” But not in vain the Class of 1932. for while the voyage of High School Life is at an end the Voyage of Real Life is just now at its triumphant Commencement 16 —Ruth Gottsch ll. CLASS POEM Dear schoolmates, now we have to say jarewell To school days we have spent together here: Our ties of friendship must be torn apart— Our friendships strong, true, and dear. As we recall our glad days in this school IFe feel great sorrow to know they are past; But memories, sweet of its familiar scenes Entwined in our hearts, will ever last. No more will the clear ringing of that bell Call us from fields of happy play; No more will its street notes of melody Hoal softly to our ears each day. But may it ever ring in our memory Bidding us our duty not to shirk As it has done in our school days of yore IF hen it called us from play to work. h will ever be ringing in our hearts lorn! thoughts oj golden days gone by, In which we tasted both oj tears and joy. As we struggled up learnings hill so high. We' ve reached an honored step tonight. And a high round in the ladder of learning; But the top of the ladder soars far above— This is the goal for which we are yearning. IFe are launching our ships tonight, 7 o sail across the oceans of lime— Each destined for some far oj} port. May our journey through life be sublime. Our Alma Mater has helped to prepare us To face this ocean so wild; It has taught us to meet the roaring waves With a heart steadfast and mild. May the characters this school has moulded Remain forever strong and true; May the ideals it has helped us to form Linger with us in everything we do. May we, the sons and daughters of this school Who are leaving its doors tonight. Strive hard to bring honor to its name By being loyal and true to the right. —By Minnie Foster.
