With the Crew of Q22 On the 23rd day of September, 1921 the good ship, Class of '22, set sail for the Isle of Graduation in quest of diplognas. lt carried on board a lively bunch of passengers and a very efficient crew. The crew corn- sisted of Paul Brockway, flaptaing lvan li. Agnew, First Mate, M yrtie Colburn, Second M ate, Ballard Wliite, Purser. and Esther-Ann Stewart, who kept the log. ll-lonor-guests of' the Claptain were Mrs. Roach, Miss Grahanri and Mrs. Pulcifer. Flor quite a while it was clear sailing until an argument arose as to whether or not the boat should put into port long enough for the pas- sengers to take shore leave for a picnic. After much controversy as to time and place, Milliken Bridge was decided on, and when land was sighted enthusiasm waxed high. Ati 6 P. N. the passengers diseinbarked and went to the picnicl grounds. A huge bonfire was built. But when time caine for suppe1', it was discovered that a band of pirates. known as Juniors, had stolen all the pickles. l'anvrvs and part ol' the weinies. Despite this fact, however. everyore got erou gh to eat. and a.t a late hour they returned to the ship and set sail, not to touch land again until Ditch Day. ' At the l'eginrinf 1 f' thevoyage, the captain and crew h-ad arranged For a play- 'l'he Private Secretary -to he given by the talent on hoard on March 17. This was a huge success and ,greatly applauded by all. Vllhile on high seas, the fourth anniversary ot' the ship was cele- brated in an unique way. Bright and early on the inoining of Aprili 1, everybody appeared on deck in strange, outlandish garb. Everything from black-faced comedians to the stylish lady of '76 was represented. During the morning gaines and feats of strength were participated in lfy the crew as well as passengers, and at noon luncheon was served on deck to all. Flven a rough sea and a few drops of rain failed to dampen the happy spirits of' the party. At the net port, the ship had to stop for supplies, and the crew and passengers sneaked off for an enjoyable day at Niles Canyon. The sailors who excelled in climbing the rigging, tried out their abilities in nioun- tain climbing, while others preferred roaming the hills in autos which had been procured. At a late hour they returned to the ship and again set sail. From then on it wgas clear sailing and at last, on June 16, 1922 land sighted and the good ship, Class of '22, warped into dock with all souls on board. Although the quest had been long and not without inishans. the reward-diploma s-was well worth the undertaking. Here the nas- sengers took leave of each other with regret and inany good wishes. hoping to meet again on Life's high seas. -Rose Roach. 26
