The Log of the Good Ship Senior T.H.S. '36 0-0 One bright and sunny afternoon in September. 1932, the good ship T.H.S. '36, freighted with the prospects of a future Senior class, gallantly sailed away from home port, outward bound across the unknown sea of school. Painted a deep royal blue to reveal to the world its courageous spirit, and set with sails of gleaming silver, the ship reflected the untir- ing ambition, perseverance. and willingness of the crew to accept any training that would help it face whatever difficulties the future might have in store. Of the sisterhood of ships to sail from home port, Torrington High School, the T.H.S. '36 was the first to sail alone in the afternoon. With no supposedly wiser, older seamates to annoy us. we immediately set about to convert our somewhat perplexed crew into a well-organized group of seamen. Looking over the ship's various documents, I came across a Log , and upon opening it, I discovered it to be a record of the various achievements, capers, rough goings, and peculiar experiences of the crew. Unlike other ship's crews, we did not elect officers to guide us through the Sea of Destiny, but relied upon the abilities of Afterguard Skipper, C. W. Johnson. Skipper Johnson first announced that all hands should go into the assembly hall, for he had several surprises for us. First, he informed us that the Freshmen would have their own chorus this trip, an announce- ment that was greeted with delight from those who were suffering from seasickness-here was a way for them to give vent to their feelings. We were given instructions on how to behave in the presence of our shipmates and commanders, and then dismissed. Whereupon, Bob Bligh became so enthusiastic in his desire to go out and do right, that he quite forgot himself, and in his haste to leave the hall. tripped Edith Elliott, giving the young lady a pair of black and blue knees. Meanwhile the rest of the crew was doing all right for itself, or was it? From the doors of Cabin 11, came groans of misery. At first we were inclined to think it was someone suffering from that well known mal de mer , but discovered it to be poor old Joe McGowan, cowering under the wrath of Miss Brown, whose chief job was to try to teach the crew Latin. i 1 The mal de mer sufferers had followed Skipper Johnson's sug- gestion, and had joined the chorus. Poor Miss Burns was confronted - -l---1935-----
