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

The following year we were taken on deck as sophomores for our fourth year of the voyage. We were again in a new swirl of activities having just emerged from the junior high, to the po- sition of the gobs in the senior high. This year we were all chos- en into societies. By thistime many of our sailors had been lost at sea, and others st pped at var- ious other ports along the route. But all in all, we were moving right along, and the sophomore commanding o f f i c e r s, Melvil Hanna, Mark Altvater and Mar- tha J. Hornaday were able to keep our steamer in the right course, and our sailing was fairly smooth. Many of our sailors again prov- ed their worth in society plays, music, debate, and Bob Orahood won the Ark Valley forensic con- test. We made progress, but it was rather slow since we were still unaccustomed to the ways of the senior high. As we journeyed on we finally came to our fifth year of travel- ing, and this year we were jun- iors. This year brought many more society activities to our mind, and by this time we were in full stride of the senior high. We were becoming more active and more vitally interested in the school activities. We had many participants in the various 'never to be forgotten' pep assemblieS,
