the Jrinlicbuskp Senior Class History Having been chosen as historian of this class of 1924--25, I shall endeavor to give you the true facts about this valiant crew, who four years ago embarked upon the stormy voyage of life, on the ship Destiny, with the flag of black and gold flying from the mast-head. On September 2, 1921, forty five members enrolled as the crew on the ship Destiny, bound for the port Fate, on the rough and troublesome sea of Knowledge. The ship of Destiny, because that is the only ship on which you may travel on the sea of Knowledge, the port Fate, because that is the only port to which this ship sails, the rough and troublesome sea of Knowledge, because that is the only route travel to the port to which our ship is bound. Our voyages have been beset by many obstacles and dangers. We left out of port with Admiral Eutsler in command of the fleet, with Captain Harry Baughman in command of the valiant crew, First Mate Carl Harrison and officer of the Day, Hammond Penney. With this staff of officers the ship Destiny sailed out upon the first voyage, bound for the port of Realization. On a bright and sunny morning in May our ship made the port of Realization. At this port we unloaded our cargo of carelessness and thoughtlessness and took on a cargo of hard work. There ten members of the crew found some other vocation in life and three were married. This left us with a shortage in the crew for the voyage just ahead and no new members were signed on. On August 18, 1922, the ship of Destiny sailed out of the port of Realization, bound for the port of Determination, under the same Admiral but with a change in the ships officers. Captain Theodore Masters was in command of the crew, with First Mate Mildred Boyd, and Officer of the Day, Cecil Barron. This voyage was the most dangerous of all with the cargo of hard work and a shortage in the crew. Enroute we passed the Island of the Cyclops, the Island of the Fiery Dragons, and last of all the Island inhabited by the Sirens. In passing the Island inhabited by the Cyclops and the Fiery Dragons, we had many difficulties and hardships to keep our ship off the rocks. And in passing the Island of the Sirens, many of our crew listened to the beckoning voices of the Sirens and were almost induced to dessert the ship for the joys and pleasures of life. But in the end good judgment overruled and the good ship Destiny sailed on into the port of Determination. Here we lay for a short period of time recoaling and supplying the ship. While in port we lost three more members of the crew, but signed on four new ones. And on September 4, 1923, we set sail again, with Admiral Eutsler still in command, but another change in the ship's officers. The ship's officers were Cap- tain Carl Harrison, First Mate Harry Baughman and Officer of the Day Mildred Boyd. This voyage was almost uneventful. Our ship sailed on through the sea of Knowledge, through the peaceful calm to the much longed for and looked to port of Happiness. We spent a very short but pleasant stay in the port of Happiness, because we were very eager to start on our long and tedious journey. After recoal- Page Twenty-five '
