Senior Class History On the eighth day of September, 1930, the good ship Jackson High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new school year. It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom, but this was a gala day in its history, for it was rumored that there was about to be another voyage over new and untried waters in a quest for The Fountain of Perfect Understanding. Soon we passengers began to arrive; some had sailed on the eighth grade cruise among the Islands of Smaller Learning; and some were fresh and green from a far country. Our Voyage of High School Life was to be over four seas, though the four bodies of water were so closely joined together that they seemed but one immense sea. We were young and socially inclined, so it did not take us long to become acquainted with our fellow-passengers, nor to feel very much at home with our Pilot. Kobrt Shick; Captain, Hiram Stephenson; Stewardess, Ruth Castor; and even the Porter, Gertrude Fenning. Many of the passengers became interested in athletics and some became very skilled before the end of our four years’ voyage. Others engaged in music and club work as their extra-curricular activities. Probably the most outstanding characteristic of these sailors was their scholastic standing. Toward the close of the Freshman Sea we held an outdoor party at Canter’s Caves to celebrate our achievements. Before entering the Sophomore Sea we transferred to a new ship almost perfect in every detail. Our leaders aboard this new ship were Harold Anders, Mary Elizabeth Thomas, Virginia Jones and Bob Stiffler. During our voyage on the Sophomore Sea, two parties were given: a Hallowe’en masquerade and a picnic at Canter’s Caves. On the Junior Sea we became quite confident and grown up with Willard Potter, Pilot; Mary Alyce Watson, Captain; Mary Elizabeth Thomas, Stewardness; and Hiram Stephenson, Porter. “Oh Kay”, the Junior Play directed by Miss Rea was enjoyed by all who came aboard. With the he’p of Miss Price we entertained those on the Senior Sea at the Junior-Senior Reception. This was our first big social affair since we had begun our voyage. You may be sure everyone tried to “keep up with the Joneses.” The time passed so swiftly that before we realized it; we were sailing on that most dignified Senior Sea. Here we became very influential under the guidance of Harold Anders, Pilot; Gertrude Fenning, Captain; Ruth Castor, Stewardess; and Robert Shick, Porter. We were the guests at two banquets: Junior-Senior and Alumni. Miss Rea again directed our c’ass play, “My Irish Rose” which heaped still more honors upon us. But our Voyage of Real Life must now begin at its triumphant Commencement. O S K Y W o w
