Page Twenty SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As our boat comes to rest briefiy for the purpose of unloading and preparing for a much longer and rougher voyage, let us look back through the pages of our weather-beaten, friendship-worn log. Our voyage has seen rough and smooth seas alike, both have been navigated with ever increasing ease as we have become more experienced sailors and navigators. Always a stout-hearted crew has been ready with willing hands to man the good ship '41 as she sailed boldly forward, always forward. Now she rests proudly in the har- bor after a difficult, but successful, voyage. She is in excellent condition-proof of the hardiness and loving loyalty of her crew. The first year of our voyage found Iack Cole as captain, Christ Katsinas, first mate, Mary Sanford, yeoman, and lean Tracy, purser. The spring party was a suc- cess as our first venture into society. Mr. Katra and Mr. Astell did a turn as super- cargoes on the voyage. The second quarter of our voyage was undertaken with David Burlison at the helm as captain, Iames Goodman, first mate, lean Tracy, yeoman, and William Iohn- son, purser. The ship sailed a more steady course on the second leg of its voyage. The supercargoes on this trip were Miss Changnon and Mr. Habberton. After the crew had carried out ably a Valentine party, it felt prepared for the big voyage ahead. With an expert and hardy crew led by Ioanne Hills as captain, William Iohnson as first mate, Ruth Iacobs as yeoman, and lean Tracy as purser, the crew now approaching perfection swung through the Christmas party, the Iunior play, and the Iunior-Senior Prom in a fashion not to be joked about by any able-bodied seaman. The crew was guided over this treacherous part of the voyage by the supercargoes, Miss Terry and Mr. Alstrom. i The last lap of this colorful voyage was sailed in smooth, reflective waters, with Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Howd as supercargoes, Warren Goodell, captain, Mary Wood- worth, first mate, Ruth Iacobs, yeoman, and Lee Stevenson, purser. We are now ready for the more difficult voyages in bigger boats, so, with our train- ing cruise behind us, we set our sails to conquer again, just as we have done before. DWYER MURPHY

SENIOR CLASS POEM Straining at its hawser, eager to set sail, Our ship lies in the harbor. All hands on deck! The sails are set, From moorings and from dock now loosed, We head toward open sea and unknown ports. The ship skims forward proudly, her mainsails, quiveri The tangy air exhilarates her crew, With each stiff breeze her slack sails billow out. They blow and quiver with a crack of mast. A swirling twister will bring stormy squalls, Great waves will sweep the decks and toss our ship, And hope will wash away with rope and rail, Yet every storm must cease, and calm and quiet Will come back. There will be singing, laughter, fun on board, I-Ieightened by the salty, cooling breeze. There will be tasks for all to do-swabbing decks And hoisting sails. In the depths of the ship The stronger will shovel fuel. Nimble feet Will scale the ladder, and dexterous hands Will knot the ropes and mend the wind-torn sails. ng, fill. Land sighted! will shout the watcher in the crow's nest. First port of calll How spirits soarl For there ahead will loom an unknown land, Beckoning, mysterious, strange. We'll disembark, and those who have been there before Will take their leave. With anchor dropped at port of call We shall be leafing through the log book of our voyage, Reviewing written testimony of success, Recalling spoken praises of the captain, sailors, mates. But more important than all these will be The tasks to be accomplished while on land, For soon our ship will come, and we Shall once again embark for other shores. Louis E PROEHL Page Twenly-one l
