orewomf History is nothing more than the record of a voyage of a lifetime, a voyage with Fate at the helm of our ship and God as the shining North Star guiding us through the treacherous black sea of doom and despair to the port of happiness and success. ' Time is the wind-never ceasing or faltering-sending the ship steadily on its way, while ambition and knowledge trim the craft for smoother sailing. Many storms will be encountered, heartaches, discouragement and disappoint- ment will be the great waves trying to sink the ship. Some will flounder in the great sea of despair. Only the hardy crafts made shipshape by a clean life will succeed. Many before us have failed in this,voyage. But many great men, such as Lincoln, MacArthur, Whitman, Longfellow, Webster and Emerson, have made the journey successfully through the murky depths of hell, to find their reward for a life well lived. They have left their mark in history for all mankind to see. VVe have completed twelve years of study in which our characters have been molding into some definite form. Was the first lap of our voyage complete in every way? Did our maiden voyage prove successful, or did we flounder in the great sea of despair? Already our generation has cast off and set sail. How will the rest of our trip be? Shall we sink-never to rise again? Shall we complete our voyage successfully-only to be covered by the sifting sands of time? Or shall we finish in a blazing trail of glory and become akin to the immortal few? Time will tell, as it fills the sails of our vessel of life and sends it forward. But time need not be the ruler of the waves. We, the captains of the ship, can decide what kind ofjourney to take. We can decide the port. We can de- termine the ship's course with our instruments of truth, knowledge and virtue. Our desire for other sailing and a better life will head the ship safely home. A successful voyage is awaiting us earnest seamen if we will not take any port in a storm but guide the ship relentlessly to its destiny. Wle have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us. Bon voyage! Let's make our trip successful and complete. , Six
