10 THE BLITTE BI. H. S. VVe now sailed under Captain Hunt with Taylor and Dyson first and second mates and Duffy was promoted to Steersman. Unfortunately, many of our crew deserted and we had much more difficulty. The cruise following was perhaps our most pleasant of all. VVe enjoyed many good times together. The only mishap was when Dudy injured his head. VVe progressed rapidly and soon we came to another island. Here existed a queer people of uncertain origin but very genteel and accomplished. VVe stayed for quite a long time with this people, known as Juniors. In this time we absorbed their ways but, remembering the cherished Senior land we journeyed ever onward in search of it. Some of our crew was left behind and others lost in the realm of matrimony. Our crew was now very small but we continued with brave hearts. We greatly tired of sailor's life and at times our hearts grew faint but we triumphed and continued on our way in search of Senior land. This objective was forever in our visions. Finally the mist we had been shrouded in three long years began to leave and we saw in the distance a great and beautiful land, the object of our cruise. As we walked down the gang plank we felt we were leaving dear Melba. High School for something better. We were greeted heartily by these people who we found back of their dignity offered us many opportunities. Some were accepted while others were not. Here in this land of opportunity we made our start. Our success is accredited to the training received on board the dear ship, Melba High and through all time that voyage in quest of Senior land will forever remain in our memories. -E. M. Senior Class Will E, the Senior Class, of the City of Melba, County of Canyon, State of Idaho, do hereby make ,publish and declare this our last Will and Testament, in the manner and form following, to-wit: To the lower classmen we leave the high school building-on two conditions, first that they will not do anything to the building that the Seniors would not dog second, that everyone clean his feet properly before entering the building.

Don't try to hurry through its halls But study and strive with zest. L.M. Senior Class History T was at the annual meeting of the alumni society of the Melba High School in September, 1935 in the new high school auditorium that I first heard the story as follows: We enlisted in the service of education September, 1920 on board the flagship Melba High. We were given our war bags and we started the hard work of learning the ropes. The captain was French, who shivered his timbers incessantly. The First Mate was Casey, and Shenk, the Second Mate. Duify resided in the crow's nest and gave orders to all except just one. The Ensigns or the Non-Coms were very self-important but they made their bluff work. With this formidable array we sailed out of the harbor on the bleak and barren sea in search of a land known as Senior Heights, the goal of all ambitious youths. We learned rapidly, and due, to the novelty of our position, we had a very pleasant time and our voyage progressed rapidly. Our first retarding came with dress parade inspection, when some of us were black listed. Our follies were punished and we continued on our way. We were again in good spirits when we sighted an island. When we landed on this strange island we were surrounded by queer people. They had unusually large heads upon their very small personages. These were called Sophomores. We had a very delightful time during our short stop and these natives showered us with all their best and finally wanted to adopt us in their tribe. This, however, could not be because we did not care to remain in this semi- savage land, but when we sailed we had assumed their egotistic ways.
