o o J Seniors on Voyage September 2, 1948, we boarded the Freshman Liner for a four JtJar journey on the Wheatfield Sea. The first day out we were very tense and nervous as we had to meet all our new shipmates consisting of fifty-five members. In a few weeks a ship from the Sophomore Harbor met us and gave us the traditional initiation of the sea, which turned out to be fun. Nine months later we landed on a small island due to the excellent guiding of our Captain, Franklin Whitaker; First Mate, Tom Korniak; and Carol Hershman, our Secretary and Treasurer, who had her hands full keeping the ship’s log. Christine Jensen and Virginia Powers were elected Senators to make the laws of the ship. We pulled into the Sophomore Harbor on September 2, 1949. As the journey was getting tougher, some of our crew dropped out leaving us foety-four. The new officers this year were: Ruth Walker and Wetzel Howard, Senators; and Christine Jensen, Treasurer. In November we met a Freshman ship and due to the tradition, we gave them their initiation. As we wanted everyone to look well dressed when the Captain came around for inspection we ordered maroon and gray class sweaters. We began our third year of the journey on September 2, 1950. A few crew Q members missed the boat at the harbor, leaving a crew of thirty-eight. Due to the dullness of the trip entertainment was needed. The crew did an excellent job putting on the play, “The Atomic Blonde”. O As we were sure we would meet the Senior boat somewhere in the sea that spring, we decided to give a Hawaiian prom for them. A visiting salesman came aboard from his ship one day, and before he left, we all ordered a class ring. The change in officers this year was Christine Jensen, Treasurer; Ruth Walker, Secretary; and Carol Hershman, Senator. September 2, 1951 was the final year of the voyage. Carol Hershman, Treasurer, was the only newly elected officer. portant ommenc took place this year. We had a class party, and we or a short while to give a play to the natives. lent came and have gone but the Seniors of golden memories of the trip in the Wheatfield 7
