Senior Class History N the fall of 1919, we embarked in the ship called ‘Manlius High.’ As we were Freshmen, we were compelled to get off at ‘Green Island.’ There were twenty-five voyagers, who were all headed for the ‘Land of Graduation.’ While here, we were under the direction of Prof. Smith, Miss Mahoney, and Miss Kilbourne. Mr. Smith, however, was compelled to resign and seek another climate that would better suit his health. In his stead we were greatly honored by getting Mr. Holden. Airs. Jas. Johnson, also, came up every Tuesday and tried to teach us to sing; she did her best; but at Princeton, in the spring, we were not the best in the eyes and ears of the judges. We had interesting conversations on deck during our leisure moments. The usual topic of discussion was, “Resolved: That New Bedford is better than Manlius.” We had quite a few parties, too, during the year, for you know that “All work and no play makes ‘Johnny’ a dull boy.” Our literary meetings were also interesting, because our crew was equally divided. During the summer, work upon a new ship was begun, in which we hoped to be able to set sail for the ‘Isle of Wise Fools,’ which was the second port on the way to the ‘Promised Land.’ It was on this island that we found Caesar’s Bridge. However, we were not able to see our new ship until the middle of November. On this island we picked up some other voyagers abandoned by other ships. After nine months on this island, we set sail, once more over the sea of knowledge, for ‘Junior Island’ with one more officer, Airs. Rudiger. This year we helped put on “AI iss Cherry Blossom,” our wonderful Musical Comedy, as well as several minor entertainments. We adopted a new system for governing the ungovernable Juniors— THE HONOR SYSTEM—but, by some bad mistake upon the part of... .ourselves we didn’t win the Honor contest. We gave the Seniors a banquet, of which we are justly proud. However, at the end of the year, Aliss Wegener was picked up by the ship ‘Aletamora,’ and Air. Holden by the ship ‘Dorset,’ both of Ohio. Airs. Rudiger also deserted our ship. The last and most IMPORTANT of all is ‘Senior Island,’ or the ‘Land of Owls,’ which we travelers have reached in safety. Although the class has been in a whirlpool of studious and business careers, working with the Play and the Operetta and the Annual, we have had many enjoyable times, numerous class meetings, and parties. Once, during our visit to this island, we were suddenly called by the ‘Captain’ to see if we had received sufficient knowledge that none might be left upon the ‘Isle of Wisdom,’ while the ship steamed into the port of ‘Graduation.’ Everything proved safe, with the coast clear, and thus we sailed, proudly bearing aloft the banners of Red and White. Thus the four long years have passed... The Freshies of 1919 are the SENIORS of 1923. We have had many experiences during these voyages, of which experiences the enjoyable ones far outweigh the unpleasant ones. As we Seniors scan the horizon from the Stepping-Stone of Graduation, we see many conquests to be made, and we believe that, in the future, as in the past, we will show ourselves ready for any test that may be put to us. And we will overcome the dangers of the ‘Ships of Life’ as.. . we have won battles on tournament floors, during our voyage. B. P. ’23.
