Reading from left to right-Gaspar Rusich, Ruth Eichar, Jimmie McMullen, Mary Atwood, Cappy Kramer Student Government In the days of early California history when San Francisco was known as Yerba Buena, the docking of a vessel, which had to come clear around Cape Horn, as there was no Panama Canal, was an event of great importance. Everyone went to the dock to greet the voyagers, get the news, and rejoice over a journey safely completed. A school term resembles one of these old ocean voyages, and the school, the ship. If we consult our ship's log, we will discover that the good ship Roosevelt will dock in the Port of Vacation the latter part of this week, and will not sail again until january Sth, 1931. Mr. Shallenberger, Mr. Huffman, and Miss Engle have piloted this vessel through all squalls and storms at sea. For the past ten weeks, the ship has been captained by Jimmie McMullen. Gaspar Rusich kept order on the boat, and the ship's log was carefully kept by Ruth Eichar tsecretaryj. The first mate, Mary Atwood, chief of the supply department, guarded the rations care- fully ttreasurerj, and Cappy Kramer gave the crew their daily exercises, and took charge of the sports on board the vessel tathletic managerj. Now that another voyage is nearly over, we look back with pride to a happy, interesting, worth-while trip, and wish bon voyage to the H9ls, who will be leaving us soon for a three-year cruise on the good ship High School. 1Oll
