1 £ Class JMstorp The ship, “Class of 1935, embarked on a clear September morn in 1931. propelled by timid, frightened and bewildered Freshmen. The Captain explained to the crew that the Voyage of High School Life was to be over four seas; namely; Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Sea; it would take one year to cross each body of water. During the first year of our journey, we were too terrified to venture far from our course of study. Most of us, however, survived Freshman Sea. By the time the second year of our voyage started, we had grown more accustomed to our staterooms and our fellow passengers. Because of unfavorable weather conditions, we had only one social affair, a Christmas party, at which all had a good time. In the third year of our journey, we summoned up enough courage to venture from our course of study to give a Hallowe'en dance. The dance was enjoyed by all but was not very profitable for, us. We then made a second attempt by holding a food sale, which, thanks to the members of the crew, proved more successful than our dance. Being encouraged by this, we proceeded still farther into the Sea of School Activity by sponsoring an assembly program in charge of Lest a, the Magician. Since our pecuniary condition increased greatly through this activity, we decided to give the Seniors, who had started their Voyage a year before us, a Junior Prom. Our crew solemnly vowed that it would be the best Junior Prom ever held—and it proved to be just that. On the eve of the Junior Prom, the ship’s ballroom was decorated in hlue and white. A balloon dance was the special feature of the evening. We launched our ship over Senior Sea on a beautiful, autumnal day in 1934, with the great sum of eighteen dollars in our ship's hold. We were sailing toward our final port, Graduation. It was a wonderful voyage, and we accumulated many souvenirs of experience from every port that we passed. Among the many things which made this, our last journey, wonderful was the success of our movie benefit, our series of matinee dances, and the selling of candy on the ship’s deck. Many hardships arose which forced us a little off our course, hut because of the united efforts of the crew and our faithful Captain, the ship. “Class of 1935,” sails peacefully onward toward Graduation.
