........ THE SPUDPICKER —T----: fr- fitixittt Class 3iistitr t September 1925 witnessed a day which shall long be remembered by the twenty-five Verdant Freshmen entering Hemingford High School and starting out on their four year voyage across the dark seas to the land of light- education. We held our class meeting and elected Wayne Shaver—president, Opal Gipple—Vice President; Clyde Badger—Secretary-Treasurer and Miss Laura Overton consented to be our Captain the first semester; Mr. Nash the second. Before we had sailed very far, we encountered a sharp battle with a ship of sea pirates and after a short struggle they over powered us and we were properly and soundly initiated by our upper class men, the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. During our first year we explored two dark dreary seas, called, Latin and Algebra. After several rather severe storms the weather settled and we sailed clear waters. Since the first year of our voyage was nearly over we gave an upper deck party as a celebration. As we were now near the harbor we gave a bountiful feed as we anchored in the harbor of “Sophomores.” Because we had been sailing the seas for nine long months we anchored and took a vacation of about three months. September again found us ready to start upon a second voyage in which we were to explore the sea of Geometry, but we soon discovered that this sea was merely a small gulf and many of the rumors concerning its danger were un- true. For it was not at all rough. Our sailors held a short meeting and re- elected Wayne Shaver as President, while Irma Johnson was elected Vice Presi- dent and Gertrude Miller was Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Koenke was our Captain the first semester succeeded by Mr. Stringer. Our sailors were Bud Badger, Merle Cory, Lillian Irvine, Pauline Estes, Opal Gipple, Clifford Harris, Isabella Headden, Agnes Hovorka, Dorothy Rey- nolds, Ralph Porter, Leona Appleyard, Wilbur West, Irma Johnson, Milford Johns, Lena King, Elmer Mart, Gertrude Miller, Delbert Peterson, Viola Peter- son, Lyle Pippit, Emil Prochazka, Carl Rath, Onalene Schneider and Wayne Shaver. Several of these members sailed away on a small row boat before we finished the second voyage, thus diminishing our class, but still having a suf- ficient crew of sailors to man the vessel. Many of our crew now lost their fear of the dark seas and began exploring the many social and activity regions. They were: Irma Johnson, Onalene Schneider, Emil Prochazka, and Milford Johns in Orchestra; Pauline Estes, Irma Johnson, Lena King, Onalene Schneider, Leona Appleyard, Milford Johns, Wayne Shaver, Merle Cory, and Wilbur West in chorus; Irma Johnson, Viola Peterson and Isabella Headden in Latin Club. Our main social events were an indoor party and a skating party. The voyage was closed by a successful picnic given on a very rainy day. After a short rest we again continued our voyage with a new and greater goal than before, much enlarged upon by Mr. Elkins, our chosen Captain. He promised us that there were great things in store for us. And we began the third voyage in search of them and found many. Irma Johnson was President; Elmer Brown, Vice President; and Milford Johns succeeded by Wayne Shaver as Secretary- Treasurer. Several other sailors joined us. They were; Elmer Brown, John (Continued on page 34) -15—
