With one successful trip behind them and confident of their ability and quality of their good ship Sophomore ' one hundred and twenty-four members launched out on an exploratory voyage in the fall of 1939. There was no doubt in the minds of any as to the success of the voyage and of the ports of knowledge to be attained. They started out with the idea of making an outstanding voyage and strived throughout the year to realize this aim. Those confident freshies who broke into popularity and prominence right off the bat last year have grown into right good Sophomore navigators with talent and ambition to burn. Members of the Sophomore crew may be found in almost any line of activity—they're right there with the best of them. Don Feight was chosen as captain to guide the ship Sophomore on its voyage. An excellent officer he proved to be, as did his assistants: Bill Fry, first mate; Gwen Goodman, keeper of navigation charts and records, and Shirley Winter, representative of the crew on the Loyalty Committee. feofulleAA, foe. in Gwen Goodman, Soc'y-Treas.; Bill Fry.

Laying aside their nautical duties, the crew had shore leave for a night. They all freguented the Top Hatter's Inn and danced the sailors horn pipe. Men Overboard! Out with the life line, ordered the Admiral. Amid the hurry and scurry on board, the unfortunate seamen, who failed to abide by the rules and regulations of the ship, were rescued and thrown in the galley and forced to write, five hundred times, I will not fall overboard again. Mutiny was threatened at the Port of Semester Exams, but a radiogram from Admiral Normington recharted the course and forced the sailors back into line. Shore leave was again granted April 26, when the captain entertained at a fancy dress promenade. Heave ho, m'hearties! Vacation land in sight! shouted the lookout from the eagle's nest. At that, the ship dropped anchor and put up for repairs until the following September. Page 25

The ship's radio man was Bill Sorge. The Sophomore also had a number of musical navigators: Nathan McClure, outstanding in band and orchestra, and accompanist for the chorus; Phyllis Hale and Gloria Hoeverman, trumpeters in band and orchestra; and Joyce Wheeler and Betty Niebuhr, also members of both organizations. Several of these sea-goers are members of the R.H.S. choir and chorus. The ship's representatives in the field of forensics were Joyce Wheeler, Mary Ellen Clements, and Gwen Goodman. The question arises—what made the Sophomore voyage a success? To credit a single event or single individual with the success would be absurd, for without the cooperation of the crew as a whole, these individual efforts would have resulted as nothing. Page 27
