----- THE ROCKET-COMMENCEMENT NUMBER -ll PIRATE LASSIES HE GOOD ship Senior Class started out on its last voyage. At the heln1 was that goodly rogue, Lil Schwalbe. Her costume elaborately beautiful. She wore red velvet breeches, a white silk lace frilled blouse and a red bandanna around her pretty head. At her side dangled a cutlass and a brace of pistols. Ahoy there, lassiesg look merry, the sea is brilliant as a jewel as the waters reflect the sun. Why art ye so downcast? Then a pretty maid in gay pirate rags strode up to the Captain: I am informed 'Ye Good Ship Latin Exams' is nearing us. Look yonder. See, there are her sails showing over the horizon. Audrey, you are right. But fear not, our good gun 'Study' will vanquish her in due time. Call our best gunners to help you. Madonna and Dorothy. VVith their steady aid and daunt- less will 'Ye Good Ship Latin Exams' be easy prey to us. I hear she carries a goodly lot of treasure, said another of the ships rogues, Mary Mooney. Ah, my fme friend, and 'tis said that without passing her successfully our quest, the jewel 'Diploma,' is out of the question, spoke up the elegantly dressed Second Mate, Lillie Poleos. Aye, But beside her there are many other enemies we must fight-'Shorthand' with its black vulture of a master 'M'sieu Theory Test'. Then there is 'Merry Dame Spanishf 'Physics' and quite a goodly lot of other vessels to be over- come, said Ferne Elliott, the pretty little cabin boy. Like 'Latin Exams' our good gun 'Study' will overcome allhbe not afraid, my beauties. Aha, here is our Hrst enemy 'Latin Exams'-fire upon her Madonna-take good aim! Ready! Fire! The gun boomed and a spurt of fire shot high in the air. The merry rogues of the Senior Class shouted with glee. Ah, there goes one enemy. But let us hurry to board her before she burns-remember the treas- tires. Hurriedly they clambered aboard and dashed inside the treasure ship. Diamonds of 90 and 100 karats were the prizes they received. As they left the ship, they saw others in the distance-the black pirate ship Shorthand and the red Physics . We shall have to divide the crew. Lily Poleos will lead the Shorthand Class, and I the Physics Class, said Lil. For hours the battles raged. the bouncing ship Senior Class was hemmed in on all sides, other enemy ships had approached. By Marie PuthofT's skillful guidance and steady aim the black vessel Shorthand was overcome. VVHS VVealthy Lou, with unequalled aim, brought down the red vessel Physics , Spanish was over- come by Lillian Schwalbe's iron will. My hearties, we are free-nothing stands in our road now. But let us celebrate. Wle shall visit the City of Pleasure for a few days-then on to the fair City of Success, where the jewel, Diploma, is to be ours, cried Lil. f Just then a beautiful damsel in the dress of a noblewoman ran out to the deck. Ah, fair Jessie,-why dost thou look so troubled? said Margaret Potts, the ship's cook. Oh, my love, Ralph Dramatic Success, is imprisoned in a tower in the City of Success. I must go to him at once, bewailed the fair lady. 'Tis nothing to worry over. Thy beauty and grace and our strength will overcome his captors. VVe shall not sail for the City of Pleasures, but we shall go on to Success and aid fair Jessie. said Lil with a flourish of her sword. Ah, my Captain, I thank thee, wept the damsel. 4 Then over the billowing sea the good ship sailed. At last they saw the City of Success shining in the distance. Its golden minarets were turning to ruby red in the -glow of the sun, the perfume of flowers spread over the waters came to the nostrils of the eager crew. Music played sweetly and on the shores. The Ladies of Castle of Knowl- edge awaited the landing of the crew. As the good rogues of the ship landed. they were crowned with laurel and led to the Castle, where a feast of white breads, baked fowl, and good red wine awaited them. Then came the keeper of the Diploma , Sister Cecilia, and her helpers, Sister Noreen, Sister Justin, Sister Leonardine, and Sister Basilia, all bearing the huge box in which rested the jewel Diploma . Here is thy prize, O good crew. May you use it wisely, spoke the keeper of the jewel. Amidst gasps of pleasure they viewed the jewel-its rays were brilliant and almost blinding in the light from the candles. 'Tis worthy of a queen-and well worth our four years of hard fighting, said Lil. Ay, well worth our endeavors. But now we must help Jessie get her lover from prison, said Mary Ruth. Very well, we shall send six of our bravest lasses to help her. The battle raged for hours. but finally the crew of the Senior Class won out and the handsome Ralph and the pretty Jessie were wedded amidst cheers and flowers. Then Ralph took Jessie to his Castle, Hollywood, where they live to this day. The rest of the jolly crew went on separate paths in the City of Success, but promised that they would meet again at the Castle Alumnae. 1932 Page 1
