Senior Class History In the year nineteen hundred twenty- three a ship with a crew of twenty- elght sailors started to the Land of Graduation. When the sailors assemb- led to start on their journey, they put on green caps, and unfurled a flag of green, which was their symbol. On their journey they ate such food as English, civics, domestic science, and agriculture. Their main food was al- gebra, which was very hard for some to digest: but their chief cook, Mr. Goss, prepared it excellently, and gave it in abundant quantities. Mr. Goss was as- sisted in his work by Mr. Weddell, Miss Brother, Miss Brown, and Mr. Kirk- ham. The body of water they were sailing over was called the Freshman Sea. When they sailed out of this sea and came to the Land of Vacation, they found they had lost several of their members because of Mr. Goss' cooking. After they stay-ed at the Land of Va- cation for a while, they set sail under a flag which meant wise, and sailed out upon the Sophomore Sea. But again they lost a few members. I suppose some of these members were afraid they would starve on Latin. The most of what the crew feasted on this time was English, algebra, geometry, history and Latin. Mr. Goss' helpers on this jour- ney were Mr. Weddell, Miss Hert, Miss Brother and Mr. Phillips. When they landed on another small island called Vacation, to their great surprise, a few more members had escaped. The crew set sail into the Junior Sea. This time they sailed under a flag which ment jolly, with a crew of fourteen. On this journey Mr. Goss changed his menu somewhat and gave the crew Am- erican History, English, Caesar and plane geometry for a while, then chang- ed the flavor and gave them solid geom- etry. The Caesar was very hard to di- gest, and some of the members mixed some food particles called ponies with it so the Caesar would be more easily digested. All of Mr. Goss' assistants stayed with him, but one, Mr. Phillips. Mr. Lewis took the place of Mr. Phillips. Toward the last part of the journey on this sea, they had a splendid time. They entertained an old crew with a grand reception, and also gave a three act comedy play. Most all were about to shed tears at the thought of having to give up their fine times on the Junior Sea, but, never- theless, they launched their ship on an- other lsland called Vacation. A few more of their crew were lost. It seemed that no time at all had been spent on the third island of Vaca- tion, when a classy flag was hurled high, and the crew, diminished by two and increased by one sailor, making the small number of thirteen, set sail out over the Senior Sea. Mr. Goss was still their chief cook. Mr. Weddell and Miss Brother also sail- ed all the way through the journey: Miss Hess took the place of Miss Hert, but Mr. Lewis intended to see the jour- ney end so he stayed too. Mr. -Goss decided to feed the crew on English, physics, music, art, civics, and a few desired Latin. They sailed on very happy except that the physics did- n't taste very good to some, -but Mr. Lewis, whom Mr. Goss had serving it to them, always insisted on their taking more. The sea was sailed over successfully and there were thirteen out of the crew of twenty-eight who received the prize for which they were sailing, ..1 5-
