This year was a very busy one, since we were all taking on new jobs in the societies and various other activities. Many of our students were in the various society plays. Those taking part in the Alpha play included Audrey Watkins, Ralph Rosencrantz and Howard Fink. The Alpha play was The Goose Hangs High. and it was greeted with much success. The Philo play was a thrilling mys- tery story, Mystery in the Lib- rary. Those present seniors that took part were Bob Orahood, Cecil King, Marian Garrick. The Die Beste Society presented Ex- press Yourself , with Bob Misak and Christine Pettit carrying the romantic roles. Our own class play, athree-act comedy, Remember the Day was a definite success. The story of this play centered around a high school lad who thought he was in love with his teacher. The lad, portrayed by Bob Orahood, got into many embarrassing sit- uations, and caused the teacher, Nancy Jarvis, much anxiety. His mother, Jean Dilworth, never knew what to expect next, and the little neighbor girl, Lily Dem- ieville, couldn't understand why Dewey should want the teach- er when he knew that the neigh- bor girl was just waiting for him to look her way.

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,

W elhighiight df the soc i al eve S! was'J the 'annual junior class fbanquet held in the spring. The theme used was that of a jail, of the brig of a steamer, and all food and decorations were carried out with that idea. The program was furnished by the Collegian d a n c e band. There were various musical and dance numbers. Gerald Tucker was the toast-master, and the evening was spent in fun and it was highly entertaining. Now in this sixth year, we have reached the final port, at last we have reac h ed our destination, that distant port that we started in search of six years ago. This year we have been the head crew for the entire senior high. Our commanding officers are Vic Allen, commander-in- chief, assisted by Marian McNabb and Nancy Jarvis. Howard Fink
