It was hard work to launch the S. S. STURGENSIAN but we, the crew, enjoyed every minute of it. Into the frame work of this sturdy ship has been recorded a reflection of you and your school. The long hours of hard work we spent, with their many headaches, searching for just the right picture and the best words was all done with the knowledge and hope that our efforts, though not perfect by any means, would be appreciated . . . Enjoy this book, have your friends autograph it, laugh twenty years from now at what we wore and sang and said—for that is the fun of looking back . . . May it help you also to recapture some of the dreams, the ideals you indulged in while here, and may you realize which of those ideals were true, right, and worth while. This is your book—it is the dreams, thoughts, and memories which come to you each time you open it that w T ill make this annual complete since we could only hope to give you in part a record of one of the most eventful years in your life. We’ve tried to make this, our annual, one of the best ever launched by the TROJAN STEAM SHIP LINES. We hope you will like it. 3

The Ship’s THE BUSINESS STAFF Seated—Rosemary Stapleton; Pat Hunter; Andrews; Phil Lint. Standing—Doris Shook; Alice Bothamley; Marilyn Wenzel. The best efforts of these capable “tars” made pos sible for us this very pleasant voyage on the S. S. STURGENSIAN. Their sales talks were most convincing and they set for us an all time record by sell ng almost business manager, Torn Stevenson; Vernon Joan Maystead; Jim Reid; John Richards; $1000 worth of advertising. Without the gracious response of the merchants in our home port, this 1947 cruise could not have been taken. Come on mates, let’s take our hats off to them and to our business staff. For it was their “Sales which set the Sails for us ” THE TUGBOATS Every ship needs assistance in getting in and out of port. Our sponsors were the ever ready tug¬ boats, by whose helpful guidance the S. S. STURGENSIAN was started out on its long voyage and their assistance is worthy of more praise than we can give them.
