--nl Page 8 Rerniniscinq For six long years we have traveled-six long but pleasant yearsg so here we are seniors, on the final year of our journey. Six years ago we boarded the S. S. W. H. S. for a cruise that was to take us through the chan- nels of our high school life. We have been through storms and strife, wind and calm, but from year to year we have made pro- gress. Some have been lost at sea, many have gone with the tide, but to most of us, it will be re- membered as the happiest voyage we have ever made. Although we consider ourselves able to journey on through life without the help of this particular sailing vessel, it is fun to look back and remem- ber the things that we did and have accomplished since we were the, under-dogs. Perhaps we have done some things that aren't worth remembering, of course we have all made mistakes and regret some of the courses we have taken, but all in all our par- ticular part in the activities of the S. S. W. H. S. have been highly commendable, and will be remembe. ed long after we no longer grace the decks of the re- liable and old faithful steamer. This hasn't been just an ordinary voyage, it has been one of lasting importance, and we will treasure the thought of having been on this particular ship, more and more as we leave and start on the second lap of this journey called life. But right now for memories sake and our travels' souvenir, we will try to relate a few of the high spots of the voyage. We came on- board for the first time as seventh graders, and se- lected Gene Gereke to be our cap- tain.

The two young actors, Bob Misak and Bob 0rahood,were the only seventh graders to make the junior high play cast. Our first year was so success- ful that Gene Gereke was chosen as captain for the second year. By this time we were becoming more accustomed to the journey and steamer, and we were all be- coming more active. This year's crew included Mel- vil Hanna, Georgia Weathers, Harry Gibbs, and Martha J. Horn- aday, We were again thrilled with the various social events, and the eighth grade gave a separate play as a part of the annual junior high play. It was entitled The Date, and the cast included Martha J. Hornaday, Jean Dilworth, Bill Nisbet, Margarette Garrison, Robert Cantrell, Doris Robinson, Ardonna Adams, Robert Orahood, Robert Misak and Hugh Calvin. Three of this group distinguished themselves by winning in the O.K. League contest held at Well- ington. These were Janis McPeek, flute, Bob Misak, horn, Bob Thompson, tuba. As we began our third year of the voyage, we were in complete command of the junior high school. Gene Gereke was again the captain of the ninth grade, but Melvil Hanna was the successful captain of the entire junior high, The ninth grade crew of officers was made up of Augustus Dou- thitt, Nancy Jarvis, Le Moyne Browning and Lois Barker. Mel- vil's crew consisted of Howard Fink and Rosemary Streubing. The junior high Girl Reserves were headed by Jean Dilworth as the commanding officer, and her principal sailors were Marjorie Plank, Margarette Garrison and
