Sophomore Sails on Annual Voyage By MINNIE SCURLOCK Heave Ho! Once again the sturdy “Sophomore” started on a quest for knowledge. She set sail on September 10, 1928, and sailed proudly out of the harbor. During her stay in the docks, she had been painted blue and white. Repairs had also been made, in order that she might withstand the storms of the coming year. The captain who commanded her during her maiden voyage was again on deck. Captain George Wills was assisted by Lieutenant John Perkins, First Mate Sarah Hudson, and Second Mate W’il-liam Harrison. The ship was entrusted to the care of Pilot Mary Riley. After the first excitement of embarking, the crew settled down to hard work. An unruffled sea made the first days of the voyage more pleasant. The “Sophmore” had not proceeded far, however, when mutiny broke out, due to the choosing of new members for the two literary societies on board. The fight was soon settled by a compromise, in which one new Sophomore member was admitted to the Cary Literary Society and four new members to the Mishna Society. Shortly after this rebellion had been quelled, the ship sailed into her first port. She arrived just in time to aid the city against the attack of an invad- ing army which was attempting to seize the football championship. Eight engagements, in which six of the crew, Charles McGarvey, John Perkins, Howard Fisher, John Ramsey, George Wills, and David Stephenson, won honors for bravery, were fought before the enemy was completely routed. After receiving rewards from the gratified townsmen, the entire crew resumed their posts aboard the ship and again the “Sophomore” unfurled her sails. About a month later, the undaunted ship reached the much longed for Port Christmas. Here the entire crew received shore leave and for a week enjoyed themselves immensely. Returning to the ship, the anchor was laised and the open sea was reached. Suddenly, without warning, a violent storm arose. These storms are called “Examinations” by the ancient mariners. For two days and part of the third the terrific storm raged. It subsided as quickly as it had come. When damages were estimated, the captain discovered that several of the crew had been washed overboard or injured. Until February 22, 1929, no pirates had been seen, but soon a strange looking ship loomed upon the horizon. When it came close to the “Sophomore,” the name “Tournament” was clearly out-1 ned against the dark hull. When the pirates attacked, the crew again gallantly responded. Five members, Berneda Thorne, Catherine Martin, Goldie Grashel, Minnie Scurlock. and Sarah Hudson, earned regular berths on board the ship. The pirates were conquered and their ship sunk. The chief dangers were over. The ship was nearing home. Few tragedies occurred to mar the last days on board. The event was celebrated and a party was given by the literary societies. A last salute was given to the proud, graceful ship, and the crew returned to its hortie until the sea called again.
