We skip over to Spain to get more fuel. While we wait, we hear that Curtis Lamb and Dan Wiens have come here to eat chili beans and woo the Senoritas. Elsie Harber, Ruth Hildebrand, Irene Classen and Rachel Frey, we hear are in Ireland cultivating and selling a new four-leaf shamrock. We fly low over Scotland so we can see Joyce Houtz, Gladys Janzen and Jane Kreason in Edinburgh castle where they have been employed as pest exterminators because of their wide fame in this line. Next we catch sight of sunny Italy where Armond Frey, Catherine Dembowski and Alma Fast are spending their time raising pre-stuffed olives. Now, we cruise down to Belgian Congo where Myrna Payne, Patsy Sharp and Douglas Steward are collecting true natives for Elmer Hiebert's motion picture production of Life in the Congo Basin. It's turning late, now so we turn back to America. When we get to New York, we see Richard Fisher and Victor Friesen washing windows on the top floor of the Empire State Building. As we cross the country to Washington, D. C., we see Ruth Reimer conducting a presidential campaign. Thus it is with a happy feeling that we have been again in touch with our high school days that we return to our home—tired but happy. Commencement Fifty-three Seniors received diplomas at the Commencement services held Thursday, May 27, at 8:00 in the High School Auditorium. The guest speaker was Dan Poling, Jr. from the Oregon State College, Corvallis, and Mr. Whitworth presented the diplomas. The seniors wore grey caps and gowns with maroon tassels. This was a change from the previous years of formals. The Junior boys were ushers the girls were flower girls. Baccalaureate The graduating class attended the Baccalaureate services held in the high school auditorium, May 23, at 8:00 p.m. The speaker was Reverend Tilton, pastor of the Methodist Church. The music and special numbers were furnished by the Methodist Church. 16

Ensigns Admiral—Bob Dornhecker Yeoman—Allan Inglis Vice Admiral—Mel Courter Pay Master—Anna Clanfield Shore Patrol—Bev. Bennett Commander-in-chief—Miss Horton When we peeked through our portals last fall, we saw 77 Ensigns looking very trim and happy in their new outfits and coming toward D. H. S. Little did we dream then that our Ensigns would see so much action. They have been very cooperative in assisting other crew members to scrub the deck with dances and to put on some extraordinary ones themselves. Early in the year they sponsored a Junior Victory Dance. Just for a little entertainment—(nothing else)—and for raising money for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, they sponsored a Fun Nite and then later this spring they sponsored the Junior-Senior Play, both of which aided in raising the necessary funds for that extraordinary chow to be held in favor of the Lt. J. G.'s on May 20. Petty Officers Admiral—Neil Richardson Yeoman—Orlanda Ratslaff Vice Admiral—Vic Resch Pay Master—Julia Ross Shore Patrol—Wayne Taylor Commander-in-chief—Mrs. Ott Next in rank to our Apprentice Seamen in D. H. S., we find our studious Sophomores or petty officers. Initiating the gobs was quite a task this year but leave it to the second year men, they really did an excellent job of it. After the first year, many of them have decided that they could not stand the rest of the tars for at least another year. The registration of the Sophomore class went as high as 77 but 24 dropped to leave the rest to suffer with the other crews. Apprentice Seamen of '46 Admiral—Bud McFetridge Vice Admiral—Jean Flux Yeoman—Lawrence Guy Commander-in-chief—Miss Buchanan The new enlistees of the Dallas High School have brought to our deck new ideas, new spirits, and new faces. The class has been very active this year. During the first part of the year they were led into boot camp where they were initiated. Then this spring they were very successful in sponsoring the Frosh Frolic which provided fun for everyone, commanders-in-chief, officers and all. Out of the 85 apprentice seamen this term only 17 have found it impossible to stay with the fleet. 18
