S. in answer to a cry stating that new workmen were needed to build stout ships which would defy all, even the treacherous waters of Life. The dreams of eight long years being a reality, one hundred fifty-nine girls and boys arrived, strong, eager, and willing to prepare for themselves, boats built offknowledge, manned with common sense, and guided by ex- perience. As co-operation is necessary before any serious undertaking can lee started, and as co-operation can be best secured in such a large class by organizing, we chose for President, joe Coudong vice-presi- dent, Flora Wliiteheadg and secretary-treasurer, jim Handlan. No time was then lost in collecting material and beginning to build. The work was divided into sections and a teacher was placed in charge of each section. The foundation was built of English. logs. These had to be extra large and strong, but very few collapsed under the burden due to the good management of Miss Fleming and Miss Killian. Une side to the ship contained Algebra lumber. The build- ing of this part was extraordinarily supervised by Miss Bell and Miss Ross. The other side of the ship was composed of Foreign Languages. This work was successfully managed by Miss Oyer, Miss Roberts, and Miss Moore. W'e commenced the prow of our boats with History logs and the stern with General Science, directed by Mr. Scott and Mr. Carpenter. After nine months of hard work we withdrew for a much needed rest. Three months later we returned to school as sophisticated Soph- omores, anxious to continue the building of our boats which were so well started. Under this new regime it was necessary to reor- ganize ourselves, this time electing Jim Handlan, president, Herbert Doepken, vice-president, and joe Coudon, secretary-treasurer. Our ships progressed rather slowly this year, the mathematical side being supervised by Mr. O'Brien. The same teachers as in thc- previous year had charge of the Foreign Languages. Ther English ll logs were under the direction of Miss Meek and Miss Killian, while History logs were supervised by Mr. Bixler. This year we regretted very much the loss of one of our best workmen, Harry Waddell. After a three months vacation, we again felt a longing to return and strengthen our Life boats which would soon be nearing comple- tion. So again we assembled at the dockyards Ccontinued on page 1475 18
