It is both an honor and a privilege to be elected to the Senior Executive Council. This group governs the Senior Class and decides what activities the class should under- take. These activities were mainly for the purpose of earning money for the Class Day trip. They include a number of sport dances, sale of candy at basketball games, promotion of Senior Play and Senior Prom, as well as several other social events. In addition to this they also took care of the sale of Senior announcements, per- I I sonal post cards, and name cards. They also arranged for Class Day which was held in the auditorium on June 2. It was a very impressive program. They nominated and elected the yearbook staff. The president of the Senior class and the presiding' officer of the Senior Executive Council is Fred Schlegel. With the aid of his fellow class officers, he has conducted the business meetings. They have done their best to make this year's council one of the most active and satis- factory councils ever to govern a Senior class. This group has certainly succeeded in accomplishing this aim. HISTORY Continued Our third voyage began on Septembeer 5, 1946. We had many new and different experiences that year. Shakespeare became a reality to us, and we delved into the unknown in chemistry classes. We had a championship football team and an excellent Stardust Review. We showed our individual talents on the stage when we presented our very own play- A Date With Judy . Another year over so soon? September 4, 1947 found us once again on our beloved ship. Our final voyage had begun-but what a grand climax that voyage was. We took part in so many thingsg we enjoyed every minute of it. We sponsored a masquer- ade ball, a play- Best Foot Forward, the Star Dust Revue, the Easter Prom, the Band Concert. We studied and learned a great deal this year, both in theory and in personal experience. We were old friends with Shake- speare now and we loved him. We could speak foreign languages, math was no longer an enigmag We under- stood the laws of physics: we were as familiar with the past as with the present because we had learned a great deal about history. Yes, we accomplished much. We had finally achieved our goal. We were ready to go forth into life prepared to meet its challenges. We had studied and played. We had spent four wonderful years that would remain forever in our hearts as fresh as the morning dew, as sweet as a spring day, and as happy as the song of the uncaged bird. We thank God for all He has given us, for our country and its freedoms, for our beloved parents, teachers, and friends, and finally for the opportunity of receiving the best possible education under the best possible conditions. We are ready to put to use the knowledge we have gain- ed these past four years. We hope that we shall succeed in our undertakings so that our teachers will know, as we know, that their efforts were not in vain. We are ready to leave our ship forever, which sheltered us through fair and stormy weather. We are ready to go our separate ways to achieve our individual goals. As we grow old and we look back through the years, our high school days will shine forth as the brightest spot in our memories. As we recall them, our eyes will brighten, our faces light up for they were truly happy days.

FRED SCH LEGEL President CLASS OFFICERS This year's Senior Class Officers have devoted long hours of their time toward the betterment of the Senior Class. The president, Fred Schlegel, along with the other officers, partakes in numerous other activities besides his reqular school courses. His most important job was that of Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook. It stands as a constant reminder to all of his class- mates of his loyalty, dependability, and his many other excellent attributes which make him the swell person that he is. Joanne Steinhauer, our excellent vice-president, is one of the hardest workers in the class, handling with carefulness the sales that made Senior Class projects possible. The secretary, Mary Lou Parsons, is well known for the leading part she took as captain of the cheerleaders. Her excellent work in the position as Associate Editor of the yearbook was probably her most outstanding achievement in her Senior year. Mary Lou rightfully earned the title, Did Most For Class . Earl Charles, our treasurer, also acted as circulation manager of the yearbook. His careful consideration of other members of the class and his diligent work as a member of the school's student body will long be remembered. Last but not least, our advisor, Mr. Iveson, made possible through his careful advice, giving freely of his time, the many projects undertaken by our class. These outstanding five have certainly done their best to help make this year's Senior Class one of the best ever to graduate from Kingston High School-and how JOANNE is as Srffffdefi-aff w Fi- .

Our ship left its harbor on Septem- ber 5, 1944. Our first few weeks on board were spent in famaliarizing ourselves with our new and exciting enviro- ment. We met the crew who would guide us and help us to achieve our goal. We also met the experienced passen- gers, and envied the knowledge they had of finding their way around the beautiful ship so easily. We didn't know then that they envied us more because we had a full four years of fun and good times ahead of us while they would be leaving soon. We experience now the same emotion of envy they felt for us four years ago as we see so many new passengers on our ship ready and willing to take up where we left off. Although we loathe to leave the comfort and shelter we feel on our friendly ship, we realize that our time is up and we must disembark forever. We hope we are prepared to meet the joy or sorrow, success or failure that may befall us when we reach dry land. Our experiences on board ship that first year were very happy ones. We were proud when our trainedtwrestlers succeeded in winning the wrestling championship. Many of us attended the Youth Center on Tuesday and Saturday evenings and enjoyed dancing and playing ping-pong or shuffleboard there. Our talented passengers took part in the Star Dust Revue which was very successful. But soon summer came and it was time to go back to land. We were all anxious to board our ship again in the fall. We embarked on September 5, 1945 and fell at once into the routine on board ship. We were qualified to take part in many of the activi- ties on board and we certainly took advantage of our opportunities. Some of us went into sports while others turned to writing for the newspaper. Most of us joined one or two of the various clubs whose purpose was to bring about a more friendly relationship with our fellow pas- sengers and the crew. Swiftly the year passed and we were half-way to our goal having attained a great deal of knowledge thanks to the excellent instruction we received from the crew. The ship came back to harbor once again for repairs and we returned to land to wait until it was ready to make another voyage.
