Senior Class I-.Hszfory In September of 1937, the class of '41 set sail with boys and girls on a four years' voyage over the seas captain for the first quarter of the trip was Miss Lair Merle Detra. lane Frank, and William Bard as ship' sailed fairly smoothly, although I am sure all of us bec time or other. However, we managed to keep our chins fair to rough weather. We attended the doggie roast held in our honor and had a delightful time, too. By sell we obtained some very much needed money.

We gave the class of '42 a doggie roast at I-Iostetter's Park. During our journey as Sophomores we presented a Tamburitza program and enjoyed a fine biology trip to Camp Shand with Mr. Czapfg he also took us to Hershey's Zoo which was, indeed, a very educational visit. On the last day of the second quarter of our voyage we set up, at the field meet, a refresh- ment stand which was quite profitable. had to obtain a new As Iuniors We started over the sea in high spirits. Selling potato chips at noon and at basketball games left us with quite a large sum of money. With Miss Leaman as our directress, we presented our Iunior play The Nutt Family, which was a great success. In this part of our voyage we also had the pleasure of selecting our class rings and pins. Our officers during this quarter were Leroy Zimmerman, Mildred Shenk, William Bard, and Iohn Iohnson. The other classes thought us very busy and jolly in spite of our hardships. Ati last we started on our last quarter with one particular goal in mind, Graduation. Leroy Zimmerman, Mildred Shenk, Norma Landis, and Iohn Iohnson led the way this time. There was much work ahead of us this yearg such as essays, our yearbook, and our Senior play which was called Skidding. Miss Gussman, our coach, with the cooperation of the class, made the play the best ever to be produced by any Senior Class. On Thursday, Ianuary 23, we laid aside all of our books and went to Harrisburg where we saw the Farm Show. All of us had a delightful time even though we came home foot sore and weary. The climax of our whole voyage came when, with the captains of our ship, we went to Washington. What fun we had! What sights we saw! Surely, the trip to the City Beautiful was worth all the effort it took to collect the where-with-all to get there, Only when we realized that our Senior essays were complete and our Reader's Dig-est reports had been given, did the fact that only commencement lay ahead, dawn on us. Today we stand at the harbor Graduation ready to begin our voyage over an unknown sea. We shrink at the thought of leaving the portals of dear E. L. H. S.: we feel sad because our class soon will be scattered far and near, but happy, too, that in leaving we can carry with us memories of the gay, carefree days we spent beneath the sheltering wing of our dear old Alma Mater.

We have one place to anchorg One goal for which to work: We'll face our trials bravelyg Our duties we'll not shirk. The Waves we leave behind us Will lead others to success: S0 that they, like us, will sail Toward their haven, Happiness. Full speed ahead we'll sail, 'Til we reach ambition's goalg We will honor our dear high school As we, o'er the ocean, roll. ANNA BRIAN 28
