SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of thirty-four the Good Ship Knowledge, loaded with twenty- eight passengers, set sail from the shore of grade preparation with Mr. Kinsey and Mrs. Georgia (Youse) Morris as our captains and Arthur Parnin as our pilot. ; As we were pulling anchor to leave on our four year journey we heard the captains shout Ship Ahoy, All Men on Deck Stand By! After we had all rushed on deck to see what had happened we saw four life boats coming our way. When they were close enough, we could see the names Erwin, Besancon, Monroeville Catholic, and fackson Townships written on the boats. We welcomed this small group to our Freshman class, which now had a total of forty-four passengers. We pulled anchor and started on our journey. For the most of us the sailing was quite smooth, but a few who were not used to sailing became very ill. They soon recovered when a party was thrown on deck for everyone. The Freshman class became very much interested in Biology during the first semester. Mr. Yoder, acting as our head captain, divided our class and had a contest, the losing group serving a lunch to the winners. Soon all expressed their desire of stopping for awhile, and the ship was anchored near the shore of Summer Vacation where all disembarked, after being notified that the ship would sail in September. After four months of recuperation, we were all eager to begin the second lap of our voyage. As we all met on deck to have the roll taken, we found that there were eight missing. These persons, who were Chester Bowen, Luther Gibson, Rita Kever, Gerald Oberley, Harold Oberley, Edith Smith, Frank Smith and Doris Morgan, seemed to find the sea too rough for them and soon chose other ships or other seas on which to sail. This left the small group of thirty-five in all. Robert Kreager was selected pilot, and Mr. Doty was elected Captain. Our new Captain shouted All Aboard! the gang plank was drawn and we were off. The first large rock which we hit was Geom.etry. Many of us received quite a shock from this accident, but we soon got over it when a party was given by Phyllis Myers. Soon, on one side of the ship, another rock was encountered. This was the Rock of Latin. Our injured feelings this time were soothed by a party on deck. We then found that History was a tunnel through which every member of the class must successfully pass. In keeping with the darkness, Audrey Oberley held a Halloween party in which everyone participated. After a short time the captain began peering out into the distance as though he were looking for something, and we all became very frightened. But we had a hearty laugh when we found that he was only looking at the shore of Port Vacation, where he soon safely landed us. We then rested until the following September. When our group had met refreshed and ready to start a new year, we found that Robert Kreager had fallen overboard and someone had rescued Doris Morgan and brought her back to start the third year.
