The Cruise of the Purple and White □ □ □ Fourth Year ana IS it possible that our cruise is so near- ly completed? For four short years we have been on deck of our stead- fast and sturdy ship, “The Purple and White”, sailing upon the ‘‘Sea of Educa- tion”. Our crew, which is now given the dignified title of Seniors, is smaller than when we began but we have the largest crew to leave the Sea than any heretofore. While we were on “The Sea of Va- cation” several of our crew left us. Bernice Heflick heard the plea of “Cupid” and answered the call. Mae Wcatherholt, Bertha Wright and Floyd Patesel also deserted our ship, while Orson Dausman joined the South Bend crew. Our ship and cruise has been the envy of many and this year we have taken on board Marjorie Moore, (iayncllc Enyeart and Marjorie Roth. It was impossible for the latter to be with us long, and so as we sailed down the Mississippi river, Marjorie left us at St. Louis, Mo. After sailing with us for nearly four years, John Milner decided to leave the ship. During our four years of sailing kizer, (Mass, Evans, Stout and Brown have made the crew proud of them in their ability to play Basket Ball. 'They have brought honor not only to our ship, but to the entire P. H. S. Some of our girls could not resist the temptation to use up some of their super- fluous energy, so they became members of the High School Basket Ball team. Those joining from our ship were Florence Clough. Margaret Myron, Esther Head and Dorothy Bon Durant. Along late in the cruise, sounds were uttered forth from certain members of our crew!!! When investigation was made it was found that a Music Super- visor had boarded our ship and try-outs were being made for entrance into the Girls’ Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, Girls’ Quartette, Orchestra and Band. We have contributed generously to each of the above mentioned organizations. When our crew was nicely organized with kizer again Captain, we decided to go ashore, November i, long enough for a Hallowe’en Party. Each year our parties have improved until this party may be pronounced “Superb”. Three of our crew were selected for the play “Clarence”—Pauline Gibson, Carol Linkcnhelt and Harold Bockoven as “Clarence”. During the year lively discussions known as debates, were engaged in by certain mem- bers of our crew, namely Mary Weissert, Harry Unger, Pauline Gibson, George Protsman, and Marshall kizer. With the thought of publishing an Annual, giving the history of our cruise, etc. came the frenzied thought of “MONEY”, so on April 24. thirteen of the crew got together and with the splen- did help of our two Pilots. Palm and Wilson, we succeeded in putting on a real Senior Play, “The Whole Town’s Talk- ing” and the whole town did talk for weeks after. As we were sailing upon Lake Manitou, word reached us that a 13th District Com- mercial C ontest was being held at Roches- ter. We decided to “land”, entered the contest and came back to the ship with members of our crew taking places for P. H. S. In Penmanship, Anna Mae Hamilton rook 1st., Carol Linkcnhelt 2nd., and Ethel Jewell 3rd., while in Book- keeping Roscoe Barrs took 3rd. Our last Cape to be piloted around is the “Cape of Final Exams.” Just around the cape lies the unbounded Sea of Life”, upon which we all will enter after June 2. We cannot say that we have had rough sailing during our four years upon the “Sea of Education”. But as we go out upon the “Sea of Life” we shall have to be our own Captain and Pilot. May we all guide our ship straight and safely through. Carol Linkknhelt. 26
