To explain in the words of one member: It wasn't what we expected at all, We really looked funny. The girls had to dress as Li'l Abner and the boys as Daisy Mae. We drank water, ate onions, stepped in hor and cold water, and crawled onourhands and knees. At the Captain's Ball qHomecoming, that isp our candidate for Queen was Dixie Sullivan. And, of course, many of our crew men took part in the athletics on board, prov- ided for the amusement of the passengers. These were: Tony Bobbit, Bill Stocks, Francis Smith, Bill Sullivan, Richard Jackson, David Robinson, Lawrence Hooper, Harry Underwood, Everett Scribner, and Bill Powell, By the end of the year, all of the sailors were feeling like seasoned voyagers, and ready for 'another tour around the Cape of Good HopefMount Zion High Schoolj during the following whaling season. 27
