THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was the 2nd day of September, 1938, a calm, peaceful autumnal day, that the good ship ' ‘Salem School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new school year. It was the same old ship that had carried many pas- sengers safe to the harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom. As the ship stood at anchor 96 scared, trembling boys and girls came on board. Miss Smith and Mrs. Crawley looked after us and they really got us off to a good start. In the 5th lap of our journey we dropped anchor to let some students on the Pilot Mountain Ship. We soon found that Mr. Broome the new captain was to take over at the beginning of the 7th lap of our journey. He was such an under- standing captain that everyone enjoyed the journey. After we had finished the 8th lap of the journey we decided to have a commencement to celebrate our crossing of the Grammar Seas. Now we had actually embarked for a four years journey of High School Life. We noticed that the stream was narrow and then the captain explained to us that the Voyage of High School Life was in reality to be over four seas, though the bodies of water were close together. The first sea was called Freshman Sea. We thought we might have to change ships but they decided to add another deck and we could finish our voyage on the good old ship. On the 10th lap of our journey we pulled into harbor at the nation ' s Capitol to tour it for a week. How thrilled we were on the 11th lap to enter the new deck. It was very modern with many new departments. Also to add to our joy we pulled up beside “The Mull Ship and they gave us about 60 passengers. It would take too long to tell the many experiences we had, the changes in the passenger list at the various ports, the partings and welcomings, but after all the memories belong to the few who will land at Commence- ment Wharf. Now as we look at the larger, more majestic ocean ahead we feel that our voyage has fitted us to withstand every storm and weather any opposing force with no fear of disaster. It has been a wonderful voyage and we have accumulated many souvenirs that will help us on the Voy- age of Real Life. Betty Anne Turner Historian
