Senior Class Islistory gf? UR ship, ftThe Graduate, is due to land at the harbor of ff 'E . ,, . , .. . . . .V V Y Commencement May 31, lo. with eighteen sophisticated I Seniors, who boarded our ship in September at the YYinamac High School wharf, as the Freshmen of 1911. The present Seniors, with the faculty for oilicers, made up our crew, though it was changed somewhat every time we sailed from the three successive islands of Summer Vacation? I Mr. Spaulding was our iirst captain, with Mr. Kinnick as pilot, and Mr. Xllalker at the stern. Misses Stratton and Deiderich were matrons on deck, with special attention to mathematics and languages. Miss Beldon was musician and artist. The first part of our voyage seemed the longest and most ditiienlt. Surely, without the ready encouragement of our pilot and officers, we would have early given up all hopes of ever seeing land again. Our time was filled with long study hours and recitations. Uur only recreation was when we stopped for an enjoyable evening on some Party Island. Not unexpectedly several took early ships back home. A few found our Graduate going too fast, so they boarded vessels of less speed. Some of us Freshmen were almost blown overboard by tl1e frequent gales of t'Examinations, but we soon learned that we must stand firmly against these, for our Captain told us they would come up all through our voyage. After being properly refreshed by our stop at iirst Vacation Island, we were ready to begin the set-ond part of our voyage with good resolutions, having profited by our tirst year's experiences. Among a changed crew we found Miss Harker our instructor of music and art, and Miss Frazier our delightful helpmate in German. Mr. Legg and Mr. Ulnistead were life savers and here were two of the jolliest old sailors we met on our whole cruise. You can imagine our disappointment and regret when they left us to go iishing in another sea-business with the happy harbor of matrimony. Mr. Olmstead made our dull hours fly with his tight. rope walking and jokes on Mr. but the latter always had one in return. Mr. H Leggwas caught flirting with the 1l1Q1'I118ltlS,', but at sunset l1e always sang The Girl I Left Behind Me. In September, 1913, again we boarded the Graduate, in good spirits and with promises of a more prosperous time. The gales of ffEXa1ninations were calmer now, although some of us were nearly stranded when we struck the dangerous rocks of Virgil, though with Miss Hendrickson's good advice we avoided the danger points.
