myremnrrenpemnovenpe THE COMET ww teed] RESUME OF JUNIOR CLASS On September 13, 1927, we embarked and began our journey, through the year in the good ship Junior, with Miss Dold as Captain. After having arranged our courses, we elected officers to transact business for the “voyageurs.” The officers are as follows: president, Edyth Taylor; vice-president, Edward Johnston; secretary, Virginia Hall; treasurer, Jane Mays. On September 24th we put in an order, with the Charles H. Elliott Company for our Junior pins which signify our high station in life. These pins arrived late in October, and when we first wore them, we felt as if even the sun must hide his face in shame, because the pins so excelled him, in brilliancy. On November 14th we gave a benefit picture at the Globe Theatre, “We're In The Navy Now,” and cleared the enormous amount of $1.60. On the twenty-third of December, we anchored our ship, with the other ships in the “Christmas Holiday Harbor,” with all expectations of having a wonderful time. On January 3rd we set sail anew for the New Year. In the latter part of the month, we began examinations. Our ship passed through this tempest of storm, and stress, with but few passengers lost. Soon, we began planning our Annual, which the ship, Senior asked us to take part in. In February, all the ‘“voyageurs” had their pictures taken, thus beginning our part in the Annual. In March we began the greatest piece of work done on the ship, Junior, the Junior play, “When A Feller Needs A Friend,” by J. C. McMullen. In April this play was produced with much success. May brought us passports from our Captain, for the ship, Senior. From that time on, we discarded our child-like deeds, and became very, very dignified. Cem eete «61 9 2 8 Page twenty-two
