Hose as First Mate, James Evsrsole as Second Mate, and Miss Stewart for our Pilot. We celebrated our initiation party by wearing our clothes inside out and backwards, carrying our charts to class ln buckets, and wearing shoes that weren't mates. The boys carried dolls and wore makeup, and the girls wore no makeup, but donned mustaches. Later in the year we docked to have a hay ride and a weiner roast. By the end of the year the crew was pretty tired of sea life, so we came to shore for a celebration. T On May Sl, 1944, we docked our ship for repairs. Every one had had a very exciting and successful voyage. It took all summer to get the ship repaired, but in September, with a crew of seven, we rechristened her to the nSophomore.' This year Marlon McDonald was chosen as Cap- tain, Rex Brewer as First Mate, Norma Jean Mose as Second Mate, with Mr. Hall acting as Pilot. We docked at Shelby- ville for a welner roast and then went tola show. Now, we are sailing again and hope to complete this voyage with safety so that we may sail again next year.
