We came principally from 2 Z such smaller boats as Oil City, Mt. Pleasant, Coles, and Adams. Q 9 A v a 3 We were a rather energetic, wild-eyed, and confused group. It was 2 S somewhat difficult for us to become accustomed to such a huge ship with 3 S all its staterooms, lockers, stairs, and corridors. Lest we face destruc- 2 Q tion on what appeared to be a stormy voyage, we elected the following of- 2 Z ficers to guide us during our journey: Captain, Larry Kniffeng First 2 5 Mate, Duane Backus, Navigator, Bob Murphyg and Purser, Charles Albaugh. 3 4444444 UDDDDVD Mr. Bates, Mrs. Laidley, and Miss Link acted as our Pilot and Co-Pilots. We were all pretty much excited about everything and, no doubt, made Q a lot of mistakes, but none of them proved fatal. At a party on Initi- A S ation Island we tried to act like Wold saltsn but were put in our place 2 Z by our hosts, the Sophs. During most of the rest of the trip we calmed 2 Q down considerably, and when we later invited the Sophs to celebrate with 3 44444 P9990 us, we proved to be better hosts than we had been guests. Port Sophomore was reached by spring, and so we anchored just a little way out and went 4 3 ashore for a brief shore leave on Vacationland. 2 Q A E The following August only seventy of us returned, eight having aban- 5 9 doned ship. We pulled anchor again, intent upon exploring further the Q 3 region known as Knowledge. As we still lacked confidence, before we pro- a 3 ceeded we again selected shipmates to guide us: Larry Kniffen, David 2 3 Knopp, Shirley Meyer, and Zelma Young.

We ex- Q I perienced no difficulty with our engine, nor did any catastrophe befall 2 3 us. Our log entry at the end of this second trip of our voyage was: 2 Q WJuniorville reached.

Pilot and Co-Pilots were Mrs. Perry, Mr. Kasel, and Mr. Huber. Our Q Z newly elected staff officers were David Knopp, Claudett Lantz, and Gerald 2 Z McCaul. To represent us in Student Council, we selected Charles Albaugh 2 S and Bob Davis. 3 3 2 3 , 2 Q I, I A :s ay 2 E 42 5 a 444 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 99
