Where lies the land to which the ship would go? Far, far ahead, is all her seamen know, And where the land she travels from? Awayg Far, far behind is all that they can say. -ARTHUR HUGH CLOUC-H

BILL HAYES FRANKLIN STRAND DON RIVARD President Vice President SGCVGTBVY Treasure' HISTORY OF THE WINTER '35 CLASS In February of i929 approximately one hundred greenhorns signed up as ordi- nary seamen on the good ship Venetian bound for a six-year cruise to unknown parts. The captain, an old salt who had braved many a storm, peered from the corner of his eyes at the young lads stumbling up the gangplank, and wondered if they could endure the complete voyage and just what type of sailors they would turn out to be. From the first class seamen who had already been on the ship for over three years, the infants received disgusted smiles, surrounded by advice and commands. A year later the laddies showed signs of polishing. They knew their duties and how to perform them. And often the first class seamen even went so far as to speak to them, thus lowering themselves. Two more years of tiresome duties and the day the young salts had anticipated ar- rived. No longer were they scrubs , but first class seamen. Their quarters were changed, and their duties became more difficult. They were now allowed to participate in the ship's athletics, join the ship's clubs, elect the officers, give the greenhorns that independent look, and take part in the various activities. In February of I934 the old sailors, who had by now sailed the seven seas, began to organize as a body. The remaining sixty-seven put forth their leaders to be elected to the important offices. Many had dropped out. Some were sick, some changed ships, and still others couIdn't stand the voyage. September arrived, and the ship with its suntan crew pointed to the last leg of the journey. The boys predominated in the offices, with Harry Brightman as president, Bill Hayes as vice-president, Franklin Strand as secretary, and Don Rivard as treasurer. Riding a calm sea on the night of january thirtieth, the stout ol' ship slowly approached port. The members of the crew, their work done, stood with lumps in their throats, peering at the landing, How odd it was! They had waited months and years for this occasion, Now when it had arrived, they regretted it to a certain extent. Yes, it was a great voyage, often hard, monotonous, and exhausting, but, in the end, satisfying and helpful. Page twenty
