Mikkelson Wicks Mr. Swanson Hector Wilson Senior Class History In 1937, our Senior Class pulled anchor and set the course for the un- certain future, under the apt seamanship of Admiral Bill Mikkelson. We of the S. S. Senior have weathered the storms of knowledge, through the year 1940-1941, with the aid of Bob Mikkelson, Admiral; Richard Wicks, Vice-Admiral; Jo Hector, the Ship's Recorder; Priscilla Wilson, the Paymas- ter; Warren Cooley, Representative to the U. S. Navy (student representa- tive); and our Commander-in-chief, Mr. Swanson. Sixteen of our flunkies represent the S. S. Senior in the National Honor Society. The D. A. R. good fellowship medal is an annual award, and was presented to a charming gobette, Markie Weatherford. Rose Bikman edited the Ship's paper, the Whirlwind, for the first sem- ester, and being promoted to First Mate on the Annual Staff, handed the editorship over to Eva Mudgett. Dorothy Stewart was given the position as Captain of the Annual. Some outstanding in the band were First Class Petty Officers, Bob Mc- Clain, Bill Fuller, Don Johnston, and Wallace Bilyeu. Bum Oberson, Bob Morris, Dick A. Miller, Laird Hyde, Clarence Bates, Bob Redifer, Roy Wool- dridge, Andy Patapoff, and Eldon Starkey were the gobs of outstanding athletic ability. The gobettes representing the S. S. Senior in athletics were Emilie Konopa, Marylea Livingston, Eva May Hughes, Priscilla Wilson, Betty Haley, and Jerrelee Miller. Ours is a bright future, and we will steer our lives over the tremendous waves of life. 11
