- ., W in A' E ff' R E : H' --U -.X .. m....... -- . .. Seniur Qllazea giflisturg T was in the first week of September, 1921, a calm, peaceful autumnal month, that the good ship St. Joseph's High School stood swaying at anchor beside the wharf of a new school career. We were Freshmen! Many people gazed in wonder upon the seventeen young ladies and the ten young gentlemen, as they boarded this ship to set sail over new and untried waters in quest of the Fountain of Knowledge. While the ship was standing at anchor, on that eventful morning, the passengers began to arrive. We were disappointed that some of our class- mates had deserted us, but we did not intend to abandon our voyage on account of this. Soon the majority of the berths were filled, and the ship slowly, but surely, began to push away from the shore. Being naturally very enthusiastic, we asked many eager questions of the Captain, our Beloved Pastor, as to the incidents of our voyage, the nature of it, and its probable length. We were assured that if we perse- vered in doing our duty, by faithfully and diligently preparing our daily lessons, it would be quite a happy four years' voyage, as we could weather any rough sea. So, with hopeful hearts and smiling faces we bid goodbye to our friends and classmates left behind in the Grammar Grades, and em- barked on a four years' absence, our voyage of High School Life. Within a few weeks, we became acquainted with our fellow-passengers, our Captain, our Pilot, the Stewardess and the Porter. How able a staff of seamen had us in their charge! This thought entirely wiped away all fears of shipwreck.. Of course, there were a few cases of seasickness, which tempted several of, us to give up Algebra, Geometry, and other hard and complicated studies, but the kind Stewardess, our Teacher, assured us calmly but firmly that we would have to overcome these indigestibles time and again until we would be the master of them. After we were pretty well at home on the ship, we ventured to look ahead, to try to calculate the size of that deep blue ribbon over which we were gliding. We were astounded at its enormity! We began to fear lest we might lose our way! But our ever alert Stewardess once more came to the rescue, and settled our doubts. At the same time the Stewardess also informed us that we must cross four large bodies of water closely con- nected to each other, and that we had now embarked upon the smallest of these, the Freshman Sea. 5 Q ,.. i ,,.,.,,.,..S5 ,.,1,, A ,.m...1.. 3 ,p.fg,-- ,mga-ng ng-ggggnd ip-zetxpp gr vfamxgfi rruvsn--1,3 umuxm ixs...-...wj an-mu .Q xwmwmf. qmauri wammmf :.urun,,-vmmx,-ns is vm. . ,T ,-, ...., .. , .J .N .mf . ,A .N.,1-- ...aw M- , .f-.fl ,...,.---' '-.a,,.N. ...,.M-J-...-.,,-- W N.. f., ,...,v..,.

,.....,..-W f. -- A year, and two years later, when we began the voyages across the Sophomore and Junior Seas, we found that each time a few more of our classmates abandoned us. However, thanks to our Pastor and Teachers, we have now completed f this, our long journey, and are prepared to set sail for the immense Voyage of Real Life. l W. A. K. '24.
