Captain's Log: Routine Bounty

These are the voyages of the GAMship captains.  Our seventh Captain's Log is about two captains.  
.
Have you heard of Captain Bligh of the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty?  Our story is in part about Captain Lai and the famous Routine Bounty of GAM.  The routine is our traditions and the bounty is our shipmates.  This Captain's Log is about Captain Andrew Lai (NYIT) and Captain Yosr El-Azhary (NYIT).
.
GAM has a long tradition of officers selflessly switching titles to give each other a chance at the helm.  Our original two captains--Captain Harry Baker (NYIT) and Captain Ninoska Alvarez (CCNY)-- began the tradition.  More recently Captain Luiza "Lulu" Bilt (CCNY) set the example again for all our shipmates.  That tradition continues again now.  GAM's motto is that we all set sail together for business sense and social grace.  This tradition is a hallmark of ethics--graciousness.  
.
Lower classmate Captain Yosr has turned over the helm to upper classmate Bosun Andrew.  Captain Yosr has already distinguished herself as a creative leader of GAM.  Beginning as a sapphire class commander under the legendary Captain Christopher "Columbus," she has won awards for her creative and energetic leadership.  Now she evens the score between our sister chapters by sharing the helm with her crew mate.  
.
Captain Andrew began as a boatswain for Navigator Joy capturing treasured moments of GAM with his one eye to display on GAMour visible from the Verandah.  [Translation of GAMese to English:  Andrew was a ruby class officer who took pictures of our GAM.]  Now he will lead GAMship.  Only one day at the helm and Captain Andrew has already traveled to another college and laudably represented GAM.  There he met with another business club that is interested in joining our Valentine Day's dance.  So impressed were they that they may join our member(ship) as well as another chapter of GAM.
.
The voyages of these two captains are just beginning, so this Captain's Log will have to be updated.  Bon Voyage, Captains Yosr and Andrew
