- :{ B I S B I L A f - Thc Four Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor THIS BEING THE HISTORY OF THE GLASS OF 1931 ONE day, during the reign of the Caliph Charles Boardman. a certain sailor by name, Sindbad, while eating, heard a Centralitc porter wailing. Go,” Sindbad commanded his slave, and bid the porter, Hindbad, come to me. He brags of his meager misfortunes. I shall tell him what real troubles are.” After the trembling porter had been seated opposite him, Sindbad narrated the tale of his FIRST VOYAGE My illustrious forbears having been merchants, when the time came for me to decide on my occupation, I too bought the necessary books and papers of that calling, and embarked upon a ship, the Freshman of a group, the U. H. S. All of us were new seamen, but the capable guiding of our captain, Mary Gold, and the pilot, Ted Christianson, scon enabled us to overcome the fears and sicknesses which beset us. After three months of clear sailing, our ship crashed upon the rocks of examinations. The hurried packing and cramming of our supplies had been of no use. We soon arrived home safely with no one missing.” SECOND VOYAGE The next year, as we set sail on the Sophomore, we had the good luck of having the same captain and a new pilot, Marshall Abbey. We looked back with an experienced air at the new ships. Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth. One of the first obstacles was the large pledge made for the trophy case at Bagdad. Then, free of responsibilities we entertained ourselves at the port, Shevlin, each vowing to return the next year in the junior!” THIRD VOYAGE With a new captain, Rewey Belle Inglis, and new pilot, Robert Alway, the Junior was well charted over the stormy seas. We were now held up to the new merchants and sailors as models of propriety and wisdom. We discovered the means of electing a council to transact necessary business at the ports. This council also planned the J. S. where we entertained those sailing on the Senior. Soon we arrived at Bagdad richer than ever.” FOURTH VOYAGE I had intended to settle down with the gains of my expeditions, but as I was collecting my goods, the Caliph sent a messenger requesting my service on an embassy for him. He promised me and my fellow men all responsibilities and the leadership as the sailors of the Senior. We agreed and soon learned that this dangerous voyage held darker seas and sharper rocks. These were offset by the same outstanding captain and as promising a pilot in Robert Savage. With them, we encountered the squalls of finance, the gales of opinion, and the heavy cargo of leadership. We enjoyed the voyage more than any of the previous ones. The Caliph was delighted and inquired as to our futures in Bagdad. I replied, 'I think that I shall sail a few years more before I settle down, for I dread leaving the seas.’ The Caliph, pleased, presented me with this reward--------------a diploma.” The humble Hindbad bowed low as he breathed, You have nobly earned your reward. May Allah bless your future voyages.” Page iS

B I S B I L A ball, swimming, and track. Also the tumbling team, a new feature, organized by Junior boys, was almost completely composed of members of this class. The girls, too, have done credit to our class in athletics. The Junior girls had the largest attendance at play-hour and won the basketball championship in the winter quarter. Our standing has been shown in other school activities also. The Honor Roll has always had a large number of our members on it since we were Freshmen, and we have many who arc striving to qualify for the National Honor Society. There have been quite a few of our number in the ranks of the Dramatic Club, Campus Breeze staff, and the Glee Club. An entirely different plan of government was undertaken by our class this year. A new Constitution was adopted which provided for a class council, to be composed of the four officers and seven other members representative of each group in the class. This council has carried on the business of the class. All through our work in the past three years, we have been trying to prepare ourselves for the responsibilities we will meet in the following year, and we believe that we will be worthy of the high standards set for us.
