The submarine was so large that it took several days for us to find our way from one part of it to another. The Captain fPrincipa1J and his officers fteachersb did not seem to realize that we would be a great addition to their crew, and strange to say the rest of the crew fupper classmenl failed to realize our importance, and at their hands we received many duckings finitia- tions.D After a few days inspection we got our bearings and sub- merged into 'a sea of Algebra, General Science, English, and Latin. Soon we began tb solve many of the mysteries in the art of navigation and by the end of our Freshman voyage we were learning the Tricks of the Trade fbluffing, etc.D from the older salts. In June we came to the sur- face and were given permission to go ashore for the summer months. The next September the majority returned to our old U-boat for we had found our sailor life most pleasant. This year we were promoted to the rank of Sophomores and we took great delight in proving to the new sailors that we were their superiors. Very merry we were until our Captain began issuing very stern and severe commands. We were forced to Work overtime. If we did this we received prizes-an QAJ or QBJ according to the work accomplished. Extra Work my lads was our cry. We then had no more time for sports or jocund song for the sea began to grow rough and all hands were needed to steer the submarine safely to its goal fgraduationb. However, by hard and earnest labor we dodged the torpedoes fdiiticult examsj with the loss of but a few. After another short furlough, we entered the submarine again with the title of Juniors. By this time all officers and crew realized that if it were not for the Juniors, life on the submarine would indeed be dull. Many of us have won high honors and all have proved worthy of the tasks we were called upon to perform. This year the sea has been rough and calm by turns but we all are proving good sailors. We have made extensive journeys in the sea of knowledge and next year our efforts will be rewarded with medals idiplomasl for the four years struggle. We will then sail out in life's sea and may our seas be calm and our skies sunny M. G. W. Twenty-seven
