Cfficial Log of The Good Ship 1937 September 1933, June 1934 We set sail for the Freshmen Sea from Port Auditorium in September with clear seas ahead: but, in accordance with our expectations on leaving the port, we were met by the oncoming waves from the fleet of the upper classmen. Be- cause of the dangerous and unknown waters our crew was busy keeping the boat afloat. But as Christmas drew near we put into port and went to town under the able guidance of Miss Smith. By this time our crew working in good harmony was able to elect the staff. Captain-George Deyo, First Mate-Sam Wilson, Yeoman-Doris Hoskins, Paymaster-Betty Naramore. In order to show that our ship was up to standard we gave two assemblies, one in February and one in May. At the annual banquet where the girls are served by the boys, the Freshmen girls did their part by dramatizing the popular song, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf . We concluded our first lap on this cruise to higher learning by buying a Fairfieldiana, the first Year Book ever to be pub- lished by the Roger Ludlowe Fleet. September 1934, June 1935 We began our second lap with mutiny on board because of change in rou- tine. Instead of seven classes a day we were to have six: but the mutiny was of no avail. As soon as we settled down, our officers were chosen to lead us through the coming year. Kalman Medve was Captain: Herbert Hoskins, First Mate: Victor Murray, Yeomang Doris Hoskins, Paymaster. The next thing of importance was the buying of rings or pins with the ship's insignia: many re- sponded. We began the year of 1935 by giving a dance to bring the sopho- mores together and put some spirit into our crew which seemed to be lagging. For the first time in the history of the Roger Ludlowe Fleet we inaugurated Freshman-Sophomore night by giving demonstrations of our dramatic ability. We ended the year by awarding a prize to our shipmate, Marie Roxas, for improving the most during this lap of our cruise. The next thing we knew we had entered port and had started our vacation. September 1935, June 1936 All aboard-All aboard for the Junior Cruise , rang in the ears of the entering new upperclassmen. As soon as the boat left dock our honorable staff was elected. Victor Murray, Captain: William Duncan, First Mate: Kalman Medve, Yeomang Barbara Fish, Paymaster. No storms, no waves, but aboard ship was hustling and bustling combined with complete harmony. We, the crew of the '37', began to feel important as we started on our money making campaign for our next year's cruise. We sold candy, pencils, feathers, and sponsored roller skating parties, movies, and a dance. We acquired a few extra dollars by winning a banking prize which was conducted throughout the whole fleet. As this was Connecticut's Tercenitenary Year our fleet gave a pageant called Uncoway in which some of our jolly buccaneers participated. We were greatly honored by the attendance of Governor W. L. Cross. In rounding out the year we chose our senior council and future officers for the coming year. Ashore, we honored the departing seniors with a prom at the Ritz Ball- room. At last, with daisies, pastel gowns, and navy blue suits, we bade the dignified seniors adieu and started on our vacation looking forward to next year. 14

9 September 1936, June 1937 Led up the gang-plank by our officers, Captain-Kalman Medve, First Mate-Betsy Marden, Yeoman--Barbara Fish, and Paymaster-William Dun- can, we immediately began to clear the deck for action. In order to round out our books we gave several roller skating parties, and sold tickets for the Komian Play. To relieve the tension of duty, we held our Senior Hop at Thanksgiving time. A short while later the hard working commercial students celebrated at a private party. The 'AFox received a little competition from the Commer- cialite published under the direction of Miss Barker. The Thespians won the highest honor at the Connecticut Drama Festival at Greenwich. In reward for this they participated in the New England Festival at Pawtucket, R. I. As long as the Freshmen. Sophomores, and Juniors were having parties the Seniors, too, had to have a fling at the new styles of dancing. So we ourselves had a merry party. Then came several of the most important affairs of our four years sail- ing-the election of the National Honor Society members, the publishing of our extra-special Year Book, our Banquet, and the Junior Prom. Then, last but not least, came something which everyone of our crew had been looking forward to, our Graduation, with the Junior girls in their flowery array, decorating the passage. The seniors walked down the gang-plank with the saying Sink or Swim , revolving in their minds. EDITH HUENERBERG, JEAN FISHMAN. at x iesfsiiisw g ' g 5 l f - .
