v-1- ,fr- cliffs fb-Q 4 Z, USR-.1 ag xvq' ' 1 SE UQ GLASS HUSTQRY The Class of 1940 began its voyoge one September day in nineteen hundred and thirty-six with Eleanor Haworth commanding the crew num- bering forty-three. 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.

ii. V 'Q 4 ,J JI wa IT-, L-1,I I v 'Sf ln l 415 - GLASS QF Q40 U TH FUTW E Time: May 24, 1950. Place: Adrian, Oregon. A journey around the world with Flora Prosser. I had just realized my life long ambition when I received my appoint- ment as foreign correspondent for the Adrian Gazette. This would enable me to take my long desired trip around the world. As I went aboard ship on my way to Honolulu I noticed the chief engineer looked rather familiar. After a little thought I recognized him as Elbert Fretwell, president of the class of 'i40 . Seeing him instantly recalled all my good old days at Adrian Hi and I decided to look up all my former classmates and see just what the years had held for them. On board ship I attended a dance and to my surprise found the crowd dancing to the swing music- of Jim Miller and his orchestra. The very popular violinist with him was his wife, former Mildred Antrim. At the Hawaiian Islands I hired a guide, Fred Boness, to show me the island. One of the most interesting sights was the interpretation of the Honolulu by Mary Roberts, a dancing teacher in the islands. On the plane trip to Russia I heard much talk of the new dictator, Mervin Peterson. To amuse myself while traveling to Paris I read a Paris newspaper. In it I saw an advertisement of a Lonely Hearts Club for all bachelors and old maids, conducted by Ethel Daiss. While in Paris I attended a movie starring the American No 1. glamour boy. Pat Patterson, who was breaking girls hearts all over the world. ni Germany I visited the art galleries and saw many famous pictures painted by Louise Klingback. In Italy while drifting peacefully in a gondola in Venice, I listened to the beautiful tenor voice of the gondlier, Jesse Gale. Down a side street in Venice, I found an organ grinder, Bob Gehr, showing the children the tricks of his pet monkey. I next went to India, here I found Bob Eastman teaching in a misslonary school. His wife, the former Margaret Winters, helped him when she was not too busy keeping track of the ten little Eastmans. In Switzerland I took skiing lessons from Miles Wallace, world famous winter sportsman. While in London I talked to Daniel Zamora, who was about to commit suicide because his heart had been broken by a dish-water blonde. Sipping tea in a smart London tea shop I read in a newspaper where the sixth wife of Mr, de Lespinasse, our class advisor, was suing for a divoce. In the jungles of Africa I discovered Regina Ocamica and her husband about to set off on a journey through the uninhabited wilds to take pictures of the wild animals for Warner Brothers. By this time as I was about to run out of funds I boarded a ship for New York City where I met Livingstone Larkin, 'who was training to l'1lll for the United States in the next Olympic games. When I went to Coney Island I went to a small hot dog stand, which was owned by Ellen Jensen. A friend of mine took me to visit Sing Sing prison. There I received the greatest shock of my life when I saw Ray Strickland, who was serving a life sentence for stealing the Hope diamond. After viewing the rest of New York I returned home to Adrian where I was given a hearty welcome by the mayor, Norman Cram.
