-at CHRONICLE 144- lass Hzstory September 7, 1931! The good old ship Lewis was lying at anchor. Up the gangplank our little band of thrill- seekers rushed with jubilant counten- ances. It was a great day for us. We were off on a trip to the Land of Know- ledge on the good old ship Lewis! Mr. Phelan, our captain, and his staff of officers took charge of our band. We were assigned to our quar- ters and handed our cards which con- tained a list of the things we were going to do and the places we were going to visit on our first journey. A week's time was consumed in be- coming acquainted with our quarters and shipmates. Full of ambition we tackled our specific duties. The going was rough but we encountered fine cooperation from our officers and upper shipmates who gave a reception in order to welcome us into their midst. It was a pleasant trip but our tranquillity of mind was disturbed by a warning to prepare for a squall. Inky clouds obscured the firmament from our view. Our ship quivered and quavered but we managed to pull it through and then the storm abated. Ourfcaptain conjectured that we de- served a much needed rest and so we were promptly furnished with fur- loughs when we docked. Our first trip had inflamed in our hearts an insatiable desire for addi- tional adventures into this fascinating land so, on September 7, 1932, when the gangplank was hauled ing the majority of our band were safely stand- ing on deck. We were awarded with an advancement in position as reward for our previous progress. We got acquainted with our lower shipmates who had eagerly signed up for the voyage and later on we welcomed them into our midst with the same warmth that we were received. .5 Page Ten So intent were we on making a suc- cess of ourselves that we worked dili- gently day after day without a mur- mur. But time and the hour run through the roughest day so the old adage goes, and it was not long before we had to condition ourselves for another squall. However, the storm was not severe and we came through in fine style. Furloughs were gladly accepted but not before we had signed up for the third trip. It was September 7, 1933. Our fur- loughs had expired. We bustled back to our new quarters. Miss G'Neill, one of our officers, had resigned her posi- tion and Mr. De Angelo, our new com- modore, was welcomed into our midst. Betty Shepard and Judson Pratt were awarded the recital prize, and they deserved it. Entertainment was supplied by a selected committee which made plans for the junior Prom which was largely attended by the majority of our group. Coming into port we ran into difficulty but it was trivial and our ship docked safely. It was a grand trip but furloughs were accepted without hesitation. On September 7, 1934, we promptly pulled out for our last voyage. No time was wasted. We had a big trip ahead of us and we settled down to our individual tasks. To get away from routine a play was given by some of our mates called Professor Pepp under the auspices of Miss Bunce and it was supported by a brilliant and able cast of characters. There was much to accomplish but circumstances and fortune favored us. We forged on ahead. VVe came through in Hne style. At present we anticipate attending the Senior Promenade on deck, as well as Class Night before we take permanent leave. No obstacle was too great in view of the honors
