1934 Cedrus Yearbook

JUNIOR HISTORY President Carl Ferguson Vice-President ...... Paul Rife Secretary Gilbert Christian Treasurer Eleanor Bull All aboard! The cry did not need to be sounded a second time for thirty-two new sailors that joined the ship of time in 1931 to traverse the choppy waves of college life. The weather prophets (professors) had prophesied clear sailing, but ere we had been on board a few weeks, the waves beat high and the new sailors strove hard for a whole week to keep the boat upright (and their dignity), only to be upset at the famous whirlpool (Willow Bend). With "Bob" Harriman on the bridge of the ship to choose the best course, we each took our boats to answer the S. 0. S. call of the football, basketball, baseball, and tennis crews, as well as chorus, glee club, literary society and other organizations that were strength- ened by the "Freshies". Answering the call for 1932-1933 there were twenty-six in our crew with "Art" Donald- son in the pilot-house. This year after a struggle we survived the whirlpool, but the Fresh- men weren't so lucky. Again more of our boats went out to answer the S. 0.S. calls of the football, basket- ball, baseball, tennis, and debate crews, as well as helping to rescue the chorus, glee club, and other organizations. On Cedar Day we buried the Sophomore class and bid goodbye to five of our crew who were to become masters of a larger crew, as elementary teachers. "Stew" Kitchen was chosen helmsman of the ship with crew of eighteen, as it started on the second half of the journey. Misfortune soon befell us and we lost "Stew", who left our ship to captain his own. At the end of the semester, "Bill" McCallister left our crew without a man in control, so we selected ''Fergy" to lead us. This year we continued to take our course through the choppy waves and join the different teams and organizations. We made good at selling candy, which, with the proceeds from "Blarney Street", our class play, furnished the means to treat the Senior crew, May 10, at Lawrenceville. We are hoping to sail successfully into harbor next year. Page Twenty-four
