The Log — Legenda After friends had extended bon voyage wishes to them from shore, twenty-two hardy Legenda crew members left port at full steam this fall. Gathered around the make-up table are Ruby Kile, Maxine Kile, Joan Dillon, Ruth Zoller, Jerry Bren- ner, Elmer Klemm Kenneth Hemme- ter, Zita Hathaway, Leona Lantz, Howard Peterson, Willis Strobel, Hazel Burgess, Margaret Vasold, Helen Fischer. Helen Bilsky, Mariorie Aldrich, Dorothy Bricker, Ann Wack- er, Charles Maynard, Elmer Simon, Robert Leckie, and Doris Fischer. Captain Helen Fischer mapped out and directed the ship ' s course, ably assisted by her efficient mates, Ruth and Dorothy, who assisted her through the choppy business waters, and Ann and Jerry, alert seamen, who kept the course of the financial records true. Keeper of the ship s log was Helen Bilsky, while Hazel prevented the boat from crashing on the rocks. Elmer Simon, capable steward, con- cerned himself with passengers ' sport activities. Sighting a passenger in a ludi- crous position, Howard points his camera. Joan supervised the launch- ing, and Willis, always on the spot for candid shots, gets caught him- self. Leona, Margaret, and Doris Wag- goner identify passenger passport pictures, and Zita types, Maxine and Kenneth check passenger lists while Marion Frisch gathers information and Jean Mary Holcomb reads proof. Assistant sport steward, Fred Schmidt, gathers material and Doris Fischer speeds up the ship ' s crossing of stenographical straits by acting as reserve typist. Mary Koinis lends a hand at keep- ing financial figures from floating into the Red sea and Ruby sticks to her post at pasting up the dummy. Joyce Papineau keeps a look out -for facts and Elmer Klemm keeps the periscope focused on nautical terms and facts. Legenda 63
