tFOREWOBD The crew of 1940, having reached the Port of Graduation, now takes permanent leave of llThe Clipper Ship? As we depart, we publish this log, a record of our Argonautical course through the smooth and rough sailings which were weathered while in quest of Golden Feats at Patterson. Looking back, we readily understand that concentrated labor is the fundamental requirement for any successful voy- age; turning our binoculars for a glimpse into the future, we know that our labors shall not have been in vain. All has not been toil, however, for hours boll dutyl, were profitably spent and enjoyed by participation in the various activities, which are offered to create an appreciation of cul- ture and good fellowship. As 21 result of the training which we have received under the guidance of our capable officers and our admired captain, we believe ourselves suPnciently able to begin the task of man- ning ships of our own. The skies will not always be clear, nor the winds always kind; some of us will never be captains, yet we all hope to sail in some capacity with charts showing the best routes to the Islands of Success.

DEDICATION As the sailors of 1940 disem- bark from the hGreatest Clipper Ship: after steering :1 straight course through the Four Seasf we realize that the compasses, maps, and charts were kept straight only through the untiring efforts of two conscientious hPilotsh, Mrs. Iurgens and Mrs. Baldwin. We are deeply grateful to such splendid advisers: to Mrs. Iurgens for her originality, humor, and re sourcefulness; to Mrs. Baldwin for her vicacity, bright smile, and good fellowship. From both of our thilots we have learned valuable lessons not taken from books,eabove all, good Citizenship, which will inspire us :15 we take our places in the world. qumzeffe g. Jurqem
