r r J I) JJ i i] £ Y j N THE FALL OF 1943 a group of I 80 Freshmen chartered a ship and y set forth upon the unexplored sea JJ of knowledge. Being unfamiliar J- with the ways of seafaring people t— and needing guidance, we elect¬ ed ship’s officers, as follows: Captain— Joan Overholt; Co-Captain—Max White; Purser and Keeper of the Log—Herbert Johsnon. Knowing that when we reached new lands we would need someone to cheer for us, we chose Lois Ann LaRue and Louise Smith. Traveling was pretty smooth for a while but we had a surprise attack on October 11, by the Sophomore ship; we suffered small injuries but en¬ dured all with a smile — our first battle was proclaimed a victory — we were now one of the fleet. As some of our group could not endure the hardships of the jour¬ ney and others were called to aid their country in war, they stopped off on islands as we passed. Sports were a favorite pastime for some of the crew and one of them received a letter in football, an honor which had not been given to a Freshman in 7 years. In the spring of 1944 we reached the first land mark of our journey. Since we had gone through many hardships we dropped anchor at an island and on May 10th, we took the day off for a picnic. We were all due shore leave, so we decided to spend it here. Our shore leave was over and 78 of us reported back to our ship “Sophomore” and we spread our sails for the second lap of our journey. We decided to elect offi¬ cers again and they were as follows: Cap¬ tain—Edgar L. Kimble; Co-Captain—Her¬ bert Johnson; Keeper of the Log—Buddy Meadows; Purser—Ivan Withers, and Cheerleaders—Lois Ann LaRue and Mary Lou Calhoun. In the fall, after all our duties were in line we attacked the Fresh¬ men ship on Ocober 19, gaining much re¬ venge. To celebrate, we gave a “deck dance” on November 23. After the ex¬ citement we decided to settle down to the usual ship routine and take notice of our new surroundings. Not all of our time was spent in work. The boys participated in football and basketball, some receiving let¬ ters. Along the way the whole fleet joined together and we had a fleet tournament,- which our girls won. By this time we had made much progress and had explored many new regions, and we docked on May 14 on a small island, and had a picnic. After the celebration we set to sea again and shortly put into port for a brief shore leave. Once again the ship was ready, so we embarked on the third lap of our voyage with a crew of 65. We changed the name of the vessel to “Juniors.” In keeping with the usual routine, we again elected offi¬ cers: Captain—Max White; Co-Captain— Betty Moore; Keeper of the Log and Purser—Rosalie Chesnut; and Lois Ann LaRue and Mary Lou Calhoun as Cheer¬ leaders. We then settled down to our duties as sailors. We learned many new and interesting things on the sea of knowl¬ edge. By this time we had found out how it felt to be advanced seamen.
