After the weary toils of a summer vacation we were enlivened by a new school spirit. We looked upon the scoffs and scorns, given us by the dominant lords of the upper classes with that kind of indignation with which our Puritan forefathers once gazed on the tea tricks of Lord North. Sailing became almost impossible in January due to weather conditions, but we were elated to know that spring was just around the corner and our voyage as Freshmen would be history. An increase in number, fifty-seven passengers assembled in September of '37, with increased zeal and enthusiasm for their journeys as Sopho- mores. Claud Patterson was chosen Captain of this studious crew, which he guided well and wisely on this momentous voyage. September seventh, 1938, the crew came together for the animal voyage, this time under the name of Juniors with June Marie Wilson at the tiller. On March 11th 'we stepped up along side the Seniors, asking them to be our guests at a banquet known as the Junior-Senior banquet. Everyone went to the village of Contentment bef-ore resuming their duty to complete the voyage as Juniors. In September of 1939 we boarded the newly built ship at Adrian as Seniors. Twenty-two passengers stepped aboard, twelve of whom started as Freshmen at Nyssa. Five joined our crew this year from other schools. Elbert Fretwell was chosen to command this, the graduating class of 1940. Through his untiring efforts and the cooperation of every mem- ber, the voyage proved successful. Mary Roberts, vice-presilentg Flora Prosser, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. de Lespinasse as advisor. ' ' The members of the Senior Class have always rallied to the support of their crew in the various athletics. Ont of the thirteen boys in 'our class, eight made letters this year and four are four-year lettermen. As .luniors, three of our present crew were members of the runner-up baseball team for the Snake River Valley championship. . We are also proud of the girls for their active part in all activities. Jim Miller holus the honor of being in command of the entire crew or Student Body on the Adrian Ship. On this our final voyage we have cherished many happy and blissful evenings, such as the Roller Skating Party, November 10, a dance sponsored by the Freshmen and Seniors on November 22, 1939, and Junior-Senior banquet on May 10. On May 24, 1940, we assembled in the gymnasium to receive our diplomas, as certificates of our four years work We were saddened. to realize that this would be our last meeting together. Let us all remain true to our motto, Not at the top, but climbing, until some golden day-' break the top is reached.
