Wireless Operator Calhoun, knew how to lay down the laws of English. She knew Am- erican Literature so well she could chat the life history of any author you wished to know. Stewardess Smith could talk Latin as well as English, and she urged some of the crew to do likewise. She had a keen memory and could recite History like Mother Goose Rhymes. Captain Sharpe had the English bug, too» It must have grown in his Science Laboratory, which is on the fore deck. Anyway, he belay- ed the Senior crew and gave them some English Literature to think about. He was a genlous in his laboratory. He grew microbes, cut ap animals, and performed many interesting ex- periments for the Freshmen and Sophomores. This was no show boat; but after eight bells, when all v as well , there had to be a little amusement. With the assistance of the Stewardess, Miss Smith, the Senior class pre- sented the play, Trouble Ahead , the Juniors gave Drums In My Heart . Some of the sail- ors tried out their vocal chords, and sang solos; others became dramatic, and gave read- ings. The Wireless Operator, Miss Calhoun, trained a group of the girls to sing in chor- us. Then a new sailor. Lookout Mclnnes, was picked up, and unanimously elected. He waved his baton so infectiously that anyone who had a horn of any kind, started tooting. A real concert finally developed. Once in a while one of the crew would get together and throw a party for the whole ship. Some of the crew turned land lubbers , this year; so we're launched to find a new crew to take their places for next year's voy- age.
