,Cute Centennial .bcnger 1858-1958 CLASS OF1940 SEPTEMBER 1936 -One hundred and ten freshmen boarded this new ship of the Princeton Navy to- day. Though the weather is fine, many are beginning to think of the storms that are to come. Everyone had a queer feeling today when it was discovered that we had no crew. Im- mediately a meeting was called, and jack Staples was chosen captain, with Ronald Anderson as his first mate. james Postle- waite was elected to the post of Sparks, and Marie Olson now carries the key to the safe. Investigation of a queer noise tonight re- vealed jack Tompkins crooning a lullaby. His enchanting voice is the very one to lead our chats. OCTOBER Two sailorettes, Adela Gibbs and Mary Trimble, tied for fourth place in a humor- ous reading contest with S. S. Geneseo and S. S. Mendota. NOVEMBER The ships doctor, Mr. Ewart, and the Pilot, Miss Graham, declared today a holi- day. We anchored in Shanghai where we had chop suey without chop sticks. Stewardess Mayeur's cabin 105 defeated all other contestants in the magazine sale contest. This energetic cabin also won the football and basketball ticket sale. DECEMBER Today two hardy tars, Kenneth Nelson and George Vane, continued the battle with S. S. Geneseo and S. S. Mendota. They cap- tured third and fifth places in an orator- ical contest. MAY 1937 The strange malady affecting certain peo- ple on board was diagnosed today by Dr. Ewart as spring fever. Sulphur and molas- ses was ordered from the galley. JUNE -We have finished the first lap of our long voyage. As we sailed into the harbor, we thought of the months until our next sail- ing. It seems so far away. SEPTEMBER -Although the air is crisp, the sun is warm. just an ideal day for the S. S. 1940 to sail. There are ninety-seven sophomores aboard. ' 14 22 16 -We are no longer in need of officers. A meeting on deck ended with Robert Duf- field as captain and Robert Schoenberger as mate. Alfreda Larsen qualified as Sparks, and the key to the safe is guard- ed by Joyce johnson. Dr. Ewart and Pilot Graham are both back at work at their 'old posts. Although small in stature, Dick Kipp is mighty in voice. It was this that won him his place as chant leader. NOVEMBER We dropped anchor this evening in Cafe- terialand to attend a barn dance. The at- mosphere was quite rustic even if the horse collar wouldn't stay on the wall. DECEMBER There is a Princeton Navy Champion aboard. Sailorette Mary Trimble won the title of champion ping-pong player among all other sailorettes of the Princeton Navy. FEBRUARY 1938 9-Tonight station P R I N broadcast an 3 14 ocean-to-ocean program from Club Valen- tine of the S. S. 1940 .Among those pres- ent were several well known screen stars. The floor show was ably handled by the celebrated M. C., jack Tompkins, who has risen from a crooner in just one year. Schoenes Swingsters were engaged to play, at a great expense to us, for the dance that followed. APRIL -From the county meet of Latin sailors on board S. S. LaSalle, Sailor George Vane brought back the first prize for second year Latin sailors for our navy. MAY -We went ashore on Melody Isle this ev- ening to attend the Sophomore Symphone to be held in our honor. Everywhere we looked we saw music. Notes floated from the ceiling and clung to the walls. Saxa- phones, drums, and other instruments met the eye from every nook and cranny. The musical menues caused much curiosity and anxiety. The musical floor show was fol- lowed by dancing. How glad all the sailors and sailorettes were that, tomorrow being Sunday, on one would not have to arise at five to scrub decks. JUNE 10-The second lap of our voyage is completed. In just two years we shall be entering Commencement Haven. -JANE COLL

.glle genfennial bcnger 1858-1958 CLASS 0111939 We Freshies came-with eager step, And green looks on our faces. We blundered in and watched with awe The others take their places. Each step we took we blundered more, We never dreamed of attaining The confidence the Sophies had, But their fame was waning. Our class advisers, we were told, Would help us with election. Mrs. Mayeur and Mr. Fleming Were in our eyes-perfection. Our president was Harry A very popular boy. janet served as treasurer, Vice President was Roy. Marlowe was the secretary With plenty of work to do. For our cheer leaders we chose Bob, And Pheobe Nichols, too. We had parties and lots of fun We increased our knowledge-some, And waited very impatiently For our first reports to come. The green look vanished from our face, Our steps became more firm, And we looked forward eagerly To being Sophies next term. We Sophies came-with heads held up, And proudly took our places. Our school mates saw the lofty scorn Which belongs to Sophies faces. This time we had no trouble, at all, In conducting our election, We forgot that we had ever had That pale pea-green complexion. .QM Bobby M. was president With Dexter close behind. He easily became the Vice, He had a learned mind. Our treasurer and secretary Were Lucian P. and jane, Cheer leader-Supreme-His second year, Bob Miller continued his reign. That year our social life increased, We subscribed for our class rings, We greatly enlarged our little store Of knowledge that schooling brings. Our Sophomore banquet was unique, The Coronation was the theme. The actors acted well their parts, But the Jester was a scream. We juniors came-with sprightly step, We jolly well knew our places. We kindly helped the Freshmen in, Benevolence on our faces. Election was conducted easily, President was Dexter N., Vice became Marlowe Morgan, SecretaryAVirginiafthen. Treasurer is Janet Wickey, She has a capable brain. And again, for cheer leader, Bob Miller, Supreme-this yearfdoth reign. Our junior class play was a comedy, Its title was Tons of Money. And we let out our cooped in spirits In a genuine little kids party. To the Prom we are now looking forward We'll enjoy ourselves all, we know. And nowfa rousing good cheer, kids, For the juniorsfLet's Go! -RUTH OLSON
