®l)i‘ 1323 iHaiifhuiu’r The Cruise of the Purple and White on First year of the Cruise. N the fall of the good year 1921, the famous ship of the “Purple and White” was boldly launched upon the “Sea of Education” with the largest crew that has ever set sail. The first part of our aquatic pilgrimage was very new and interesting. In the vicinity of Algebra Island and about Cape English, the weather continued fair and warmer, but in the region ruled by King Latin the weather reports took upon themselves a “bluish hue.” During a few spare moments we would eagerly watch our men practice that well known game, Basket Ball. Three of our men were on the first team, Kizer, Glass, and Stout, and how proud we were of them! One of our members also had the honor of becoming a member of the Girls’ High School Quartette the first year she was on the cruise. We thought that fine of Carol, too. We contributed many mem- bers to the Glee Club, Chorus, Orchestra, and Operetta, and several of our boys tried out for track when we stopped at different ports. Oh yes, we had a famous crew and a loyal one, too. Our crew began to long for a really good time, so we stopped at the Isle of St. Valen- tine and had a Valentine Party. It was the first party the crew had had, but it was a real success. After leaving the Isle, new members climbed aboard and frankly demanded rec- ognition ; namely, Mae Weatherholt, Gladys Chaney. In the beautiful month of May, while cruising upon Pretty Lake the crew begged the captain, Kizer, to let the “Purple and White” drift ashore. He was very kind, and the crew was soon enjoying a “real-for- sure” picnic. A bountiful lunch was spread and the captain and crew did it justice. We again set sail, but soon the balmy summer days lulled the voyagers into quiet contentment on that tropical sea, called “Vacation.” Second Year of the Cruise After a long period of inaction on the “Sea of Vacation,” our ambitious crew once more returned to the greater “Sea of Education.” We saluted our former cap- tain, Kizer with enthusiasm and joy for he had proven himself an able captain on our first cruise. We also greeted a new mem- ber, Dorothy Bondurant, who has put con- siderable “pep” into our crew. During our cruise on the “Sea of Vaca- tion,” one of our most loyal members, Wayne Rankin, was taken from us. Wayne was an energetic and willing-to-work classmate. Our crew fully realized our loss when we began our second cruise. The sea became smooth and calm along the waters of English, and even an occa- sional squall on Caesar Ocean did not dis- turb our stalwart seamen. While cruising along the shore of Mich- igan, we stopped at Detroit and took Har- old Bockoven on board our ship. Then we sailed for the Pacific and met Billy Dublin at Pasedena, California. So thinking him a good fellow we took him aboard also. We had a number of honored people among our crew. Carol was again a mem- ber of the Girls’ Quartette, Pauline was on the High School Debating Team; Harold Bockoven and Stanley Brown were mem- bers of the Boys’ Quartette ; Kizer, Glass, Evans, and Stout were members of the first team in Basket Ball; and we also had a number of our crew, who were members of the Glee Club. As we were sailing, we decided that we would like to have a party, so on Hallow- e’en night we landed and our whole crew at once became goblins, witches, and gypsies. We had a merry time, but by the next morning we were calmly sailing in our good ship “Purple and White.” On March 8th our girls came out vic- torious in the Inter-Class Basket Ball Tourney. We were so very proud and happy that we entertained the entire High School. We are looking forward to landing on some beautiful isle for another party and after that the successful crew of the “Purple and White” will again enter upon the “Sea of Vacation.” Carol Linkenhelt Anna Madden Thirty
