How We Did It By the Senior Scribe F . yf ' DiK years a,t;o. Boh Ries, !; ' sat at his small imitation mahogany desk in Room Four of the Milpitas Grammar School. He was gaz- inL; enra])turedly into space, dreaming of the day whrn he would wear a three-cornered hat and strut on the deck of ' 29 ' =, pirate sloop. (When that time came Bol) invested in a ]jair of oilcloth hoots, and a jjiratical haircut, which he still re- tains. ) To go hack a few years; during .Septemher, 1 ' ' 25. a proclamation of mobilization was issued for a crew. About 120 landlul)hers enlisted. P)lood-Eye Stew art and Piilly Rones Nichols taught them the rudiments of piracy on the high seas and set them off under skull and crossbones. Fred Fowler, a deck-swabbing gent with curly hair, rose to the presidency this year. Fred, on the third year of the voyage again took the helm and proved to be a steady pilot. ( )n the .second trij) out, Xorman Miller alternated with Fred for the captainship of the crew. The voyage has been illustrious in many ways. There are the famous four Cow-Men of football — Buss, Shreve, ( )rr, and .Mden. In tennis the Haehl twins swing a mean racc|uet ; Fowder was a track skipper, and Bud .Shre e also shone in basketball. However, don ' t think that there are no women aboard. On the contrary, there are as many mid- dies as swords and boots on this shij). P.etty .Moore has left an impression of what a lady jiirate should be on the mind of our chief l)uc- caneer, and the other Girls ' League members, with their activities in the Jinx, G. . . . ., and Girls ' Block P, have made names for themselves during the four years of their crui.se. In conclusion, we feel that everyone will agree that the class officers deserve much credit. Thev are Robert Riegg. John Hays, Edith Nef?, Rob- ert King, and John .Alden. And in the imiuortal words of Nathan (Bud) Hale, Our only regret is that we have but one graduation to give to our countrv. fi ' l
