With no map or compass to guide us (save a very indefinite and unsatisfying treatise vulgarly known as the Handbook, which we did not deign to use), we gaily and hopefully hoisted sail. Before the mast streamed a green and white flag, rendered ornate, not by a skull and bones, but by a bear, showing the crew ' s innate tendency toward the novel and original. After much struggle we heavf l anchor and hoisted sail with i chorus of Heave ho! My heartie.s, heave ho! .And soon How fresh was every sight an On open main or winding sho We knew the merry world was But said to say, along with the salties ' incorri.sible originality, was the ordinary distrust of one tar toward another. And so, as we scrubbed the decks, gybed the main- sail, and evicted our Brown Mule into the briny deep leaning over the railing, all these acts were performed with one grimy hand, while the other grasped our suitcases con- taining — practically anything! Thus we sailed on and on until one day a cry of Land, land! South-sou ' east! rang from, the fo ' c ' sle. Approaching nearer to land we furled sails and dropped anchor and descried upon the shore a multitude of people, like unto ourselves, but milder and more civilized in appearance, awaiting us. We drew our knives, adjusted our wooden legs, and tied our kerchiefs a little tighter, as we stepped ashore prepared to slaughter the strangers It our leader, Captain Livermon gave the word ; but they received us kindly, and for amusement took us to the playhouse where we saw many wonderful pictures. Later they led us into a sylvan dell and gave us many mugs of drink from a cask of corrugated iron. Some hours later we did the hornpipe down to the beach, and in spite of all their protests, rowed out to the good ship Hajir. singing lustily and cheerily. We ' re t oiind for blue water where tlie great winds lilow ; It ' s lime to get the tacks aboard, time for us to go. Then one dark and starless night as we swung in our hammocks, suddenly the cry of the watch, Ship ahoy! rang through the ni.ght. We sprang up. armed to the teeth. and rushed on deck. A ship was approaching fairly bristling with men and mystery. Our helmsman tacked and veered, but still the stranger ship overhauled us. In the gloom of the night they boarded us. Their unearthly and supernatural forms like those of witches but armed to the teeth with knives and cutlasses, struck terror to our super- stitious sailor-hearts, as they flitted unharmed and unharmin.g among us. Suddenly they disappeared as mysteriously and terrifying as they had appeared among us. leaving us unscathed but bewildered. We never heard directly from them again. In due time the holiday season drew near, and we were in strange seas. To while away the time a number of the most gifted of the lads called us upon the main deck one memorable moonlight night in November and entertained us with great hilarity by imitating our witch-like visitors of an earlier day. In touching at a famous seaport, The Oaks, famed for its beauty and hospitality, one of the more humane members of our crew, Andrews, conducted us to the Jones Tavern, extracted from his jeans a pounch bursting with gold coin; and then we fared right royally. And so the whole time of the voyage passed, in learning seamanship as well as in eating, drinking, and making merry. A few of our number deserted for other callings as we touched port. The cook fell overboard to escape the first mate ' s belaying pin. In June we reached again our old port and lustily disembarked with our treasured suitcases, and departed to visit our old cronies and sweethearts and all the land lubbers we had known before we had gained our sea-legs, But September came again and most of us grew sick of the sameness and tameness of the land and each one of 97 felt that we So on September 12 the 97 of us set sail again from Meredith ' s port — this time with some slight knowledge of the seas o ' er which we might rove. Many were the proud ships we thought to conquer, strip and sink in our hardened pirate ' s life. This trip we flew a huge, fierce bear-cat at the mast-head. By process of elimina- tion and survival of the fittest, Eagles became captain. To insure safety against rough seas and tempestuous weather the crew of our brother ship, The N. C. State. gleefully painted huge ' 26s upon our decks, fore and aft. We revealed the unexpected generosity and gratitude of which our simple sailor-hearts were at times capable by entertaining them at a deck-swabbing party. A few weeks out to sea we celebrated our safe passage through the equinox by again staging upon the main deck an admirable and clever stunt, the name of which — Pardon Me — I cannot recall. (The South Seas are said often to affect seamen with such temporary amnesia.) Then came the most glorious event of our voyage, proving the trustiness of our blades and us experienced and practical pirates. We took our first ship! ' Twas a cloudy, dreary night late in November. The crew was making merry and had Drunken the re.l wine and fliini: the diee Even the watch t ippled and rolled, as he called bells from the bridge. Suddenly the thick cry rang out, Ship ahoy! Treasure ship she is! On with the knife and the cut- lass! And jubilant uproar followed as we hastily rifled the armt-room in the hold. Armed to the teeth, we over-hauled the fleeing ship, boarded her, and brought the trembling, submissive captives aboard the good ship Hope. There ensued such events as even a seasoned pirate sees but once in a Blue Moon. We fed the mutely protesting victims, long slick worms, gave them many hearty lashes, made them roll spools with their noses around the decks, and finally with lusty cheers. The p;ile -urvivors left us hy the m. ' dium nf tin- i.hink. We leaned over the ship ' s railing, watching the dark seas till the Inst bubble and ripple disappeared, and Then havin? washed the lilond aw. ' iy. we ' d litth- else to ilo And sn we sailed on and on, with pleasant nights when we .gathered on the deck, and to the light of our pipes and the tune of John Silver ' s old fiddle, we sang Bear- Cat Sophs, Little Green Newish, and When the Sophomores Begin to Fight. One night we had a spook party and told ghost stories. The toughest salt of us all pa.ssed around the cold and clammy heart which he had cut out of one of his victims. It caused the kerchiefs to rise upon more than one bard, sunburned head. Finally we returned to port for long shore-leave. But again each of us heard the voice of the sea and each of us felt that we . . . must so down to the seas asrain, fov the rail ..f the lunnins tide Is a wild eall and a eleav enll that may not he denied. So on Septemlier 10. 1924, 70 of our old crew, with a few of th e more taint-hearted fallen away and a few new but brave and bold pirates, set sail again from Meredith ' s harbor in the good ship Hope. We still flew the ferocious bear at the mast-head, but Captain O ' Kelley had replaced Captain Eagles. And in the rugged kindness of the captain ' s heart and our own not-extinct humanity, we took in tow a smaller, less experienced ship. At times we even shared our spoils and fought with them, notably on the occasion when they were attacked by a more aggressive iiiratirr : but with our encouragement, they valiantly withstood the assault. But about this time there arose a heated misunderstandiug and discussion between the two factions of tried and true pirates. Was it to be short or long? It referred to hair. A trivial thing, you may say, but important to us, for we were approaching the tropics where long hair was a great nuisance, though ornamental. So the hardier salts who clung to their long hair were given the cold shoulder by the rest of the crew. The whole argument culminated in another stunt upon the fore deck called Short or Long in which the ciuestion was cleverly treated, accompanied by Captain O ' Kelley ' s extempore melodies on the Jew ' s harp. The result was— we still did as we pleased. Late one night as we squatted on our toes on the main deck, whetting and shining our cutlasses and whistling the while, we suddenly conceived the idea of entertaining our protege-ship. No sooner said than we launched the small boats and rowed out to our sister ship. We roused the slumbering crew from their hammocks, brought them on deck in their pajamas, and proceeded to have a dream of a party. But the smaller ship repaid our efforts in larger coin by treatin.a: us to the feed of our rough young lives— and nary a can of hard tack dirt we see. (Several of the less inured ones of us remained in our hammocks next day and surreptitiously paid the cook to do our watches!) As a fitting climax came the real banquet on the night when we made our last port before turning homeward-bound. On the quay we met some of our older and erstwhile unfriendly pirate-acquaintances, and feeling Unusually sociable and un- suspicious of our fellow men (for we were homeward-bound), we invited them to come and take a drink and teed at our expense. That night will go down in the logs of all us jolly rovers as a high water mark of piratedom. Then we sped homeward again with a favorable wind and priceless cargo and hearts as light and carefree as the winds that billowed our sails. We arrived at port and greeted our wives and sweethearts with bear-like warmth and cheer and enthusiasm, and put around their necks pearls taken from an Indian merchant ' s ship and on their fingers, diamonds stript from the queen ' s convoy. But the salt was in our blood and the sea-wind in our nostrils, and ere many months we felt again the urge that we So for the fourth time on September 9, 1925, SO of us set sail again from Meredith ' s quay with our old crew and a few new ones— to tell us new tales. But it was with a twinge of blustering sadness that we veered into the wind and sped away, for we all One Hundred Xii knew that at the end of this trip we would be judged by our deeds of former iirowess and then given our licenses to master such various ships as our new captain. Captain Wheeler, now mastered. Hut all feeling soon disappeared as we lioislerously re.ioiced that e lire far from bight 1 ' tlir tiiiiliur liijhl.v. Of the seaports wheiH-r wt- i-innc. But the old sea calls and lln- colil wiiirl bites. And our hearts are turned to flam.-. In the due course of events we gave our climatic stunt, M. C. ' 2() Broadcasting, and the admiration of our audience, as we rode at anchor in the harbor of El Dorado where we presented it, reached such bounds that they presented us with a cunningly- wrought and priceless silver cup, mounted on ebony. Thus we proceeded ever onward and onward in our .iourney. fearlessly conijueriug what we could not persuasively subdue. We touched and spent several delightful days at a newly discovered but entirely charming isle called Greater Meredith. Dur- ing our sojourn, with the pirate ' s gift for scenting gold, we unearthed an enormous treasure valued at more than 50,000 pesos, for which we were exceeding glad and drank to the prosperity of Greater Meredith late into the night, until we could no longer withstand our hammock ' s irresistible call. And ever as we traversed the deep we grew more and more deeply devoted to our .good ship HoiH- and more eager for our licenses when we could command such a bark, as our life ' s work. And finally after many hardships, hand-to-hand struggles, and sea- sons of intense hate for brackish water and hard tack, we arrived again at our home- port. Then we received our licenses and parted from each other with this song in our hearts: SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY. 192(; TELEGRAM FOR MISS BERNICE HAMRICK. NEW YORK C LETTER FOR MISS BERNICE HAMRICK Philadelphia, Pa., March S, 1936. Dearest Bernice: What is all this whereof you speak? I do not understand the Astrologico-Radio, but at the mere mention of rejuvenation I hasten to accept your most welcome in- vitation. No. my concert tour will not start until September. See you at 7:00 Tues- day, then. As ever. : I.MiV O ' KEM.m. TELEGRAM TO MRS. HARVEY KELLY. FREEHOLD, N. .1. Mary O ' Kelley. Elsie, Aunabelle all coming (stop) Will e.xpect you and Harvey too. LETTER TO MISS DAISY HOLMES, ROUEN Philadelphia, Pa.. March 13, lit3B. D.M.sv. (11.11 De. r: I ' m determined to interrupt your persistent pursuit of the elusive muse, for I ' ve had the most thrilling experience since my Metropolitan debut. What do you think will happen next? Never again will I be at all surprised at anything, ANYTHING. Why mere man — or woman — can do wonders. But to come to the point of all this raving. You remember my mentioning a mysteri- ous Invitation from Bernice? I confess some wonderment at her Astrologico Radio. but thought it was merely a continuation of the Radio Buddy idea of our Senior stunt. Remember? Well, Daisy, I just wish you could have been there! I can never in the world get those thrills across the ocean to you. However, there ' s nothing like an attempt. When I got to Bernice ' s apartment Annabelle, Elsie and the twins ( one already looks like the son of the head of an E-nglish Department). Margaret, and Harvey, were all there. They didn ' t say so, but they were just as curious as I. At the Psychological Moment Bernice made her announcement. We were to be the first witnesses of her latest invention. While she was talking Annabelle leaned over and asked in a con- cerned whisper whether I thought she could be going crazy on the subject. She didn ' t mention that fear again, however. Then she started it offi We heard Mary Allison ' s voice just as clearly as if she had been in the room— Jack you have got to keep Junior this afternoon, for I ' ve an appoint- ment with the President of the International Association of Beauty Parlor Owners. That was knock-out enough, but listen. Before our ejaculatirins died down a strange voice was speaking: Mrs. Jackson nee Mary Alli n will ( nntinue to prosper and attain tame. Daisy, That Radio is not only u UmUn l.ul n lurtiinr-tcUcr too! Of course you have read about it in the papers, for they talk about nothing else. She is called the second Mme. Curie. I ' m so proud to know her. She told us all about it, however, since our Senior stunt she ' s been working on the idea that air-waves and the stars must he in cahoots somehow. Now what do you know about that? Well of course the tirst thing we demanded was a complete history and prophecy of the dear old class of ' 2(;. Here they are just as that marvelous Radio told us. Mary Alderman, who married a siu ' cessful novelist and playwriglit, is travelins in Europe. Ruth Bruce is her traveling companion. The Radio says they ' ll never grow to be anything but kids. Now isn ' t that odd? Mary Yarborough is in Wall Street, and although she isn ' t even aware of the fact, she is to marry a French diplomat in 1940. Margaret Cone Tucker and Lena Mae Williams are enjoying their husbands and Long Island homes, but of course you knew that. Leone is enjoying the reputation of being the only American critic of the Stage. She is doomed to a premature death on account of excessive mental ability. It ' s well not to be too smart, eh? Jane Beavers is re- organizing the Y. W. C. A. of India, and has a really brilliant future ahead of her. Fannie Mae Ange is a scenario-writer and has become highly sophisticated at last. Louise Allen, Gladys Byrum, Katherine Cooke, and Inez Holloway, are prominent in the field of North Carolina politics. They will be taken completely by surprise by the election of Crystal Davis, Republican, as Governor. You know she has already amassed a large fortune in her law practice. The four children of Mr. and Mrs. Raleigh Lee, (Mrs. Lee was before her marriage, Gladys Brown) are making quite a stir as a musical quartet. Katherine Shields renounced her fame for a matri- monial career. She married a doctor, and will move within five years time to the tropics where they will both find a unique sphere of work. Right here we call a halt in the program to gasp a minute. Then we tuned in on station D-A-I-S-Y. Could you titl us .avesdropping?. We heard the storm of applause that greeted you when you playtd tlial .Xocturne of yours. We ' re just so proud of you. The Radio told us a lot about y.iur marvelous future, but I reserve the right to tell you of that upon your return. Juasie Huff. Irene Edwards, Elaine Goode, and Pearl Earn- hardt are on the stage. The Radio predicted wonderful futures tor two of them hut refused to divulge the names. At least the instrument won ' t show partiality. On the mission fields were those girls that we always felt would do our Alma Mater credit in that way; Minnie Herrin, Bettie Hewlett, Bessie Jackson, Annie and Julia Horner, Jessie Strickland and Jennie Mae Hartsfleld. Margaret Wilkinson is stewardess on a Pacific liner and we overheard her comforting some seasick traveler In her usual optimistic way. Esther Wedding is making an Intensive study of the Flora in the South Sea Islands. Blanche Stokes is interested in Meteorological Phenomena, Comets in particular. Can you imagine that? Katie Dail has found her sphere in journalism; she is now on the staff of the World. Blanche Current is quite prominent In the field of Orthopedic Medicine. Lois Waller and Bessie Wallace are in the Real Estate business, having just started a boom in Eastern North Carolina which has no parallel in history since the days of Florida ' s prosperity. Minnie Bell is the leading Photo- grapher of San Francisco. Elizabeth Purnell and Janet Sikes are advertising agents for the General American Fur Coats Corporation. Margaret Eagles and Alice Graves Hunsucker have a well-known and prosperous Architectural Firm in Washington. D. C. Did you ever expect us to scatter so widely over the face of the earth? Mary Misenheimeris Field Secretary for the Southern Baptist Board. You can judge as to her success when you hear that the Board is out of debt and has seven million dollars as surplus. Of course you know of Grace Neathery ' s position as world tennis cham- pion, but the Radio predicts honors in the field of golf as well. Olene Braswell is social secretary of Marion Talley. Daisy Barnwell is a much-sought-after nurse in London. The Graces — Butler and Blalock — are still famous for the Grace dresses. Bettie Wales frocks are no longer the thing. Marguerite Blackstock has had to cancel her concert tour for this season on account of an automobile accident, but with the skilled services of the wonderful surgeon, Theresa Newton, she is reported to be well on the way to a remarkable recovery. Ivy Grace Doughton is an exhlbltlon-aviatrix. with a fabulous salary. Margaret Henderson is married and living in Yokohama. Thelma Gudger, you know, is still a farmerette, but the Radio told us that in the near future an oil well is going to be discovered on her property, giving her untold wealth. Helen Thompson has put a new kind of soft drink on the market which will put old man Candler quite out of business. I wish 1 could convey the peculiar pleasure we experienced as we listened in on all our classmates. I believe I could have listened all night. By this time we were all about dumb, and Bernice just turned without comment to one girl after another. Catherine Balnes, Hazel Stroud, and Hazel Baity are prospecting in South America, Hiimlretl Iwe bul are inaniiin.u lo return lor our class reunion at CoinmeneeinenI 1 Sawyer has just signed a contract witli the Paramount Players to role in the film production of I ' rtitr fniin lllanchc Hanks is in Xi ' a study of the habits of the Plulijnis 1 1, ml I,.,, i ,r iis.
