Ancho Vs Aweigh. Ships have fascinated the romantic spirit of man- kind from time immemorial when the mode of transportation by water was merely a crude raft fastened together by vines. Time passed, men built more convenient and speedier vessels, and so they were able to explore more remote regions and com- mute with strange races of people. Ships have in- deed played a vital and an important role in the de- velopment of civilization. Today, despite the way they are necessarily being used in helping to tear down the accomplishments of the human race and reduce the world to a barbaric state, they capture the interest of the contemporary individual even more and continue to carry man and his cargoes from one far-flung port to another. The Great Lakes have formed a valuable natural waterway from the Middle West to the eastern states, but they would not be nearly so important and effective without the Soo locks, for these permit easy and rapid connection between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Through these locks for many years has passed a much greater tonnage of ships and cargoes than through any other canal in the world, including the Suez, Kiel, and Panama. In times of peace Sault Ste. Marie is a mecca for tour- ists from far and near who flock to see freighters lock through from one water level to another. The familiar whistles of the ships are truly a part of Sault Ste. Marie. Now during this war the locks have become a vital spot, the destruction of which would inflict a tremendous wound in the nation's war effort. Thus the people of Sault Ste. Marie are well ac- quainted with the freighters, tugs, and passenger ships that ply their way up and down the blue St. Mary's river, which forms a part of the Great Lakes waterway. Many citizens find their life work con- nected with ships, while others spend their leisure moments in numerous nautical pursuits. To a few, the river, the locks, the ships just are, and the town would not be the same without them. Therefore the theme of this yearls senior edition of the Keynote is based upon the cradle of the deep . Our personalities have assumed the roles of a ship's personnel, and our organizations and insti- tutions and activities have taken on the aspect of a ship or some part thereof. Above you will recognize what we have called the good ship Sault Highu, sailing on educational seas. Pictured below are those personages who di- rected the ship's affairs, the Board of Education. On the following pages an effort has been made to portray the events of this school year and the activities of the persons aboard ship, with particu- lar emphasis on the personalities and the accomplish- ments of the graduating class of 1942. You are invited to turn these pages and thus to join our voyage. Anchors aweigh! A-.mv
