Curlin, Captain, Harold Moreau, First-mate, George Alton, Log Keeper and Purserg and Admiral, Miss Finkbinera The good ship Senior was still traveling the High Seas so the crew of the Junior decided to entertain the crew of the Sen- ior with a skating party instead of a Prom: We tied up along the shore and sold tickets to the housewives of Tower Hill, and sponsored a play, HBehind the News,H to finance our party. The deck of the ship was transformed into a skating rink and a jolly time was had by both crews. This very successful skating party at the end of the voyage made us feel that we had progressed a great deal and we joyously anticipated our fourth VOyage ,o The ocean liner Senior on which we embarked on our last voyage was indeed a magnificent leviathan. We chose as Cap- - tain a well experienced, seamen, George Alton, our First-mate, a jolly fellow, Rex Mchittrick, and there was none quite so capable as our Log keeper and Purser, Floyd Dickerson. Our Admiral was Miss Daugherty. Although years before, this same crew, while on the Freshman Raft, had taken part in musical productions, they were never so successful asrthis last year, The crew furni- shed about four boys for athletic events who made the Senior basketball team which won the District Tournament. Our sailors seemed to realize this was their last journey and did their best, In the ship's theatre we produced a play en- titled, HThe Charming Intrudern. As the reveille is the last bugle call of the day, so our Senex is the last accomplishment of the crew of the Senior Liner before Commencement, This was a noble enterprise. This is a worth-while book describing all aspects of journeying on the High Seas,--a joyous life. It was with much sadness of T heart that we in spite of our eagerness to explore new lands, we, the sailors of the Senior Liner anchored for good at the port, Commencement. , 1 1 I lla n in ,han pun'-q '1-par '
