Four months we journed smoothly
along.
Then came that terrible day.
But we worked so hard during
Exams.
That we all pulled through O. K
Then we began our journey again
And four months more we sailed.
Fighting harder every day
To see that no one failed.
Now, that our destination’s reached.
We’ll don our caps and gowns.
And say goodbye to Selma High
And let a smile replace our frowns.

History of ’33
It is the memorable morning of
September the 12th, 1932. The glo
rious sun has just risen, and the
morning is beautiful and calm with
only the shrill whistle of the siren
and the screams of the seagulls
breaking the stillness. The big ship
that is anxiou.sly being awaited by
a small crowd on the wharf, is ap
proaching, but cannot be seen be-
cau-e a dense fog has settled every
where. Now the ship looms into
vlmw—slowly gliding into the har
bor! It is anchored, and the gang
plank is being Icwered. How jolly
and eager are those lads and las-
them settling down and tackling
with vim and vigor the problems
that are eternally bobbing up. Soon
they hold their first crew meeting.
-Miss Ernestine Shippe, wlio is des
tined later to de.sert the ship and
become the wife of Manley B. Fish
er, and Miss Boliek are elected
•sponsor.-;, with Paul McMillan, Pres
ident, and Mrs. R. A. Ashworth,
Grademother. The sailors are enter
tained at numerous parties and have
many gay times. A very outstanding
event of this voyage is the Popu
larity Contest, in which one of that
group wins.
At length Voyage 9 is in prog
ress. The day.s of trials and tribu
lations are more numerous, but the
faithful crewmen push steadily for
ward. The waters grow stormier,
and more difficult. However, contin
uing to follow the lead of Paul Mc
Millan and the assistance of Miss
Stroupe and Mr. Jervis as sponsor.^
and Mrs. Vick as Grademother, the
band is made fit to forge on to
Voyage 10. The trip through the
10th Grade is guided by J. C. Av
ery as President. Each undertaking
of the voyage is aided and avetted
by Miss Parker, sponsor, and Mrs.
W. P. Aycock, Grademother. It
seems as though this voyage is to
be a very memorable one. The an
nual State Triangular Debate rolls
on the slippery deck and three of
the seamen enter the contest. Fol
lowing the old custom, the jolly
Juniors begin to prepare for the
Junior-Senior Banquet, and in May
of that year the Class of ’32 are
guests to the Pirates of ’33 at “Ye
Pirate Banquet” in “Ye Old Pirate
Hall.” In return for this delightful
occasion the class of ’32 entertained
the pirates at a picnic. I
At la.st the hard working crew is
gliding out of the harbor to com
plete successfully or unsuccessfully
the last and most memorable voy
age. Hoge Vick is elected President
and again they are fortunate enoug-h
to have as Sponsor, Miss Parker ‘

crew finds many things to con - '
tribute to its overflowing cup of 7. O bashful ones come and see
loved ones to be left behind in the
fog. L’ttle do they realize what hard
waters they will have to brave, as
tlie Ocean Liner of ’33 .-ets sail for | "f Mascots,
unknown port.s on the Sea-of-Knowl-
edge. When the anchor is raised,
the shrill whistle blows; there is a
large puff of smoke and the boat
pulls out of the harbor. The little
crowd on the wharf watch the great
ship until she is far away, and then
tui'n their steps homeward, satisfied
that their children will be brought
safely home under the efficient care
of Holloman, Farrier, and Field-.
It is with hearts overflowing with
happiness that these little knowl
edge seekers begin that upward
journey on a long and winding trail,
—one reached only by very hard
work. Having weathered the first
breakers in the Sea-of-Knowledge,
the gang is found embarking on its
second voyage. But this time it is
not to be led by the former
leaders, but by Dupree and Stone-
ham.
Further and further out to sea
sail the enthu'iastic boys and girls
of Selma. For several years they
work and rest alternately under the
guidance of ma!>y captains. At last
the gang is starting out on the 7th
voyage. Onward through the stormy
waters of the Seventh Grade they
plough with the never ceasing help
and coopei'ation of Copps and Whit
aker. Soon the crew stands face to
face with the most immense wave
that it has yet attempted to con
quer. Just at the beautiful blue ho
rizon looms that great mountain of
water—namely the County Examin
ations. Practically everyone is able
to ascend the cre.st and pass to the
other side which is known by no
other name than High School. That
gleeful group has' successfully-
ploughed the deep blue waters, and
now, it is sailing happily- on into
the Eighth Grade. The boys and
girls are not quite so care-free as
happiness. The happy event arrives
at last, and the crew is enteitained
at a May- Day- Banquet by the Class
of ’34. In return, ’33 entertains ’34
at a picnic. The crew is given par-
tie- bv Mrs. Vick and the mothers

A gray dawn is beginning to
break, the white clouds overhead
are flying, and the seagulls are
screaming. A light flashes on the
distant shore, and that light is the
goal for which they have striven.
The fine voyages of cooperating and
working diligently are nearly com
pleted, and soon they must each
tread the way alone. The staunch
^hip has weathered every- storm and
the prize they seek is nearly won.
However, it is w'th a feeling of
sadness not akin to pain that comes
stealing over them as they- look
back through those eleven happy
years. But they know as they em
bark on the longest cruise that they
have done their best. May they sail
forth into the Ocean of Life and
onward steer without any- ,-ign of
doubt and fear. And when the^j;
.sink into the depths of despair,
may they repeat those -encouraging
words of that brave captain who
cried to his crew when all seemed
lost:
. One says you’re conceited from
toe up to head
If conceit were consumption, my-
dears you’d be dead.
But be not dismayed by this,
Els'e and Bill,
We love you, have loved you and
