September 1945: Our old and faithful commander, Admiral Seitz, retired, but our journey continues with the able Admiral Richter at the helm. We are now the oldest and most experienced hands aboard and have many privileges-- we pride ourselves in our selectness. Every night a few of the crew row over to the island of 4'Marg and Earlus where there is much dancing and merriment. The most festive occasion of our entire journey, The Prom, is a tremendous success, as the main deck is gaily decorated and we dance the merry hours away. June 1946: Directly ahead of us lies Diploma Land - - the goal of your years of labor and hard work, and as we drop anchor in Commencement Cove , we are filled with pride and satisfaction.

Class History A log of the voyage of the good ship 'L'46 , having set out in Septem- ber of nineteen hundred and forty two, with over a hundred hearty souls aboard, onto rough seas with the goal of Diploma Land many years dis- tant. X September 1942: T'he crew seemed in high spirits as we began our long and arduous journey. We were subject to the hazing of several of the older, more ex- perienced hands, but bore up well. We are allowed to do nothing but the most menial tasks, as we are but novices at sailing the seas of higher education. The journey will be trying but We are determined to see it through to the end. June 1943: Our first goal, Sophomore Island , has been reached. There is much rejoicing among the crew as we have put a full year behind us . . . yet ahead lie many perils. September 1943: We are well into the Straits of Sophomorus and the going is some- what easier. The older crew members permit us a little more freedom and we are beginning to feel accustomed to our surroundings. We were all allowed to celebrate on the day of St. Valentines - - the occasion being one of riotous merriment. June 1944: A few of us have been entrusted with greater responsibility as we near the Gulf of Juniorem . Half of our journey is now completed and we face the future with firm hearts and confidence. September 1944. We enter the third year of our journey no longer novices, but full fledged seamen knowfing all the ropes like Veterans. We subject the younger crewmates to some of that hazing which we were obliged to bear some years ago. Several of our members take part in weekly enter- tainment held on the main deck, and we climax this new feeling of im portance with a gala St. Patrick's day party. June 1945: The waters of Seniorus are just off our bow.
