D E L P U E R T o Senior Class History On September 14, 1924, thirty-two graduates left the Patterson intermediate and boarded the favorite ship, Knowledge, at Port Patterson High. The following officers were elected to command the ship: Leo Fay, president, Charles Correia, vice president, and Martha Anderson, secretary-treasurer. Under the leadership of Mr. Halley, Mr. Wellemeyer, Mr. Jennings, Mr. Staley, Mrs. james, Mrs. Monson, Miss White and Miss West, our vessel traversed the high waves, conquering Latin, English history and algebra. The first year ended with our vessel docking at Port Sophomore. By September 10, 1925, a few of the passengers had become seasick and dropped out, leaving on our boat thirty, not freshmen, but proud sophomores. The officials to serve for this year were: Albin Anderson, president, Charles Correia, vice president, and Bert Bertolosso, secretary-treasurer. Two new leaders, Mrs. Rucker and Mr. Boudreau, filled the places of Miss West and Mr. Staley. After battling on the high seas, with English, history, geometry and biology, our liner landed safely at Port Junior. The passengers all left the vessel, feeling rather proud that they had covered half the long journey. On September 13, 1926, twenty-four students again boarded the favorite' ship, Knowledge New officers were elected to command the fleet. They were: Charles Correia, president, Lucy Matchinegg, vice president, and Hazel Signorotti, secretary- treasurer. No new leaders were added to the general staff. On this trip the juniors were represented in all kinds of athletics, three of the boys taking place on the first team of basketball. After one year more of traveling the high seas, we were ready to take the place of our predecessors. Twenty-five seniors then started sailing for Port Patterson to get off at Dock Graduation. Several of the boys Won fame on the athletic field. The officials elected to help us arrive safely were: Charles Correia, president: Arnold Rucker, vice president, and Elton Hamilton, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Rucker was not able to fill her position as leader, due to sickness, and Miss Bentley took her place. Also Miss Parks was a leader, taking the place of Mrs. James, who had served us so faithfully for the first three years of our voyage. I As the days draw nearer, our shipf is getting closer to Port Patterson, where it will stop at Dock Graduation. The last few days of the trip will be spent in taking final examinations. Finally, our ship Knowledge,'f is anchored, and our high school education is won. E. T. V., '2 8. U31
