'Twelve Louie Bednar,- and Virgil Palm vanquished all other positions. On March 17 the deck echoed with the shouts of the ha?ppy revelers whom we were entertaining in true St. Patrick's style. In April, as a warning to the upperclassmen of our intentions in the future we took second place in the Hardscrabble contest, ending our second year in a most successful manner. We set sail for our third year with the spirit of true buccaneers for we knew that hard work and rough sailing would be encountered shortly. With Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Friedman as co-pilots, we elected the following officers: Roberta Beed, captain, James Farrington, first mateg Annette Friedman, keeper of the log, and Grace Kollar, purser. Our course was indeed a strenuous one and it took all the skill and knowledge acquired during the previous years to keep the ship in its course. Again Davies, Farrington, Palm, and Ketchmark proved themselves to be true pirates by acquiring coveted postitons on the team and by dealing destruction to practically all opponents from other lands. A Barn Dance, a Mystery Dance, and an operetta, Ask The Professor kept us busy until the month of May, at which time we set out for the frozen north. On May 26, amid ice and snow, we presented the Junior-Senior Prom, the last social event of our third year. We began the last lap of our voyage with all sails to the wind and lost no time in selecting the following leaders: James Farrington, captaing Marie Mitchell, first mate, Roberta Beed, keeper of the log: and Lois Weber, purser. With Mrs. Swanson again at the helm assisted by Mr. Koenig, we threw ourselves wholeheartedly into the task before us-to load our ship with a precious cargo of knowledge and experience and then to bring it safely into port. Our stalwart mates Davies, Farrington, Reynolds. Tremper. Johnson. and Sopher continued to capture honors on both football and basketball teams. A capable group was selected to put forth a manuscript in which all of the records of our voyage might be preserved. Other members of the crew worked continuously to finance this undertaking. by sponsoring a Corridor Dance, the annual Senior Dance, and a St. Patrick's Day Dance. Success crowned their efforts and at last the Hardscrabble was assured. In our four years of piracy we had encountered many obstacles. We were continually battling Depression, our deadly enemy, which seemed to balk us at every turn. In these battles we usually emerged victorious but we were not always so fortunate in the skirmishes which occurred daily with our textbooks. However, in April we found'that 160 members of our class had survived to take part in the farewell activities. On May 22, the main dining room of our ship rang with rollicking old pirate ballads as we, with the faculty as our guests, gathered together for an evening of gaiety. Good food and informal entertainment, under the direction of toastmaster James Farrington, made the evening one to be long remembered. With this gala event our ship docked in port and our final week as seniors was at hand. Baccalaureate and Class Night followed in quick succession. Then with the coming of graduation on June 8, we received the most coveted treasure of all-our diplomas. Cecil M. Horaney.
