BON VOYAGE The Ship is Anchor'd Safe and Sound its Voyage closed and done From Fearful Trip the Victor Ship comes in with Object won Walt Whitman On September 21, 1943, a group of starry-eyed and bewildered adolescents entered Room 207 of the library at Morgan State College. This damp Tuesday morning marked the day of registration in preparation for the journey on Morgan’s Sea of Knowledge. Wc were a crew of two hundred and thirty-six strong, holding a pride that could not be excelled. We were welcomed by President Holmes, the Captain; Dean Grant Co-Captain, and Mr. Weaver, Navigator. Our duties were enumerated by the faculty, the high ranking officers. Regardless of our academic obligations, we functioned actively in intra and extra curricula activities. We responded to the numerous rush parties, lectures, and receptions given by various organizations. The year passed swiftly and ended brilliantly with the Freshman-Sophomore Conference and Prom held at the Morgan Christian Center. As wise Sophomores, we left port in September 1944 with a crew of twewtv- one men and one-hundred and thirty women. We were seasoned sailors now with fifteen honor students. For the first time since setting sail, our crew was separated to make primary preparations for life vocations. It was this year that history was made in football. We prided ourselves with our stars who helped to win the title of “the undefeated. Many of us entered the Greek Letter organizations; still others were elected to the Honor Society. It was this year also that we witnessed our darkest days, for death took two of our cherished shipmates. We managed, nevertheless to sight land in spite of the turbulent storm. Our days of apprenticeship were nearing a close anJ fair weather seemed to be in store for our next sail. Out of a port of sunshine and beauty, we again sailed into the third year of our journey with a crew of one-hundred and sixty six. It was the year of 1945 and the wars had ended. Interests were turned to opera, and one of our crew was fea- tured in the opera “Carmen.” The Junior-Senior Prom proved to be everything we had dreamed. And with our heads still in the clouds, we drew our Junior year to a close. The log book read September 23, 1946, as we set sail for our final journey. Smooth sailing was predicted. People of Destination” is the phrase which described the crew members on our final trip. Now with the ship drifting into port, the class of ’47, will pass as one unique in achievement and contribution. We started the first group of ushers present at all chapel services; we have presented talent to all activities during our four years; and, lastly, wc were the first to graduate after absolute peace had been declared. So with our ship making final port, we who sailed forth to seek and find have reached home port. Our journey successfully ended, we wish to all who follow a Bon Voyage” on our Alma Mater’s Sea of Knowledge. 20 CLEOTA MINOR MARY HALL
