On a certain, never to be forgotten September day in 1947, thirty-two members of our ship's crew sailed into A.H.S., wide-eyed and a little bewildered, with the look of How did we get here? on our faces. Hbwever, it wasn't long before this look disappeared, but the calm seas were soon roughened in a new storm which was none other than Freshman initia- tion. This brought new looks to the faces of our crew and what 1ooks they were--for we had enough war paint on for the French as well as the Indians, in the French and Indian Wars, and our hair was done up in the latest style and set off with green ribbons. We docked long enough in our first voyage to replenish our ship's treasury by winning the first prize with our class float, Freedom For All , at the Fall Festival. When we set sail again we found we had picked up two more crew members, namely: Betty Blaine, and Ray johnson, so our crew was then at its all-time high of thirty-four members. We started our Sophomore year only to find man overboard --in fact, four of them They were Audrey Roberts, Betty Blaine, Ray Johnson and Lawrence Purcell. First on the list this year we were scheduled to show the other classes how real salesmen operate, and did so by being the top class in total sales in the first magazine campaign held in A.H.S. The pro- ceeds went toward new band uniforms which was our big goal to meet that year. Next came the annual Fall Festival and with it our float, the theme being, Flowers-Symbols of Peace . We also sponsored an Amateur Night in an effort to raise more money for the band uniforms. Around April 7th the main question asked among the girls of our crew was, Should you serve from the left, or take from the left? Ybu see we had just been asked to serve at the jum- ior-Senior Banquet. ' A number of school parties, bake sales, candy sales etc., were spread throughout the year in order that we might have a little ready cash when needed. After three months' shore leave we were ready to start our Junior voyage with one mem- ber, Roger Isely, not returning. Maxine Jacobson also left in the first semester, but re- turned in the second. Since then she has been rather 0ne of the Roving Kind , but she seems to know a good place when she sees one for she's pretty well settled in A.H.S. now. With a double cast we presented our junior class play, A Letter From Mexico , on De- cember 15th and 16th. Around March 23rd we noticed our rations were getting low so we docked again to prepare a feast--the annual junior-Senior Banquet, with Star1ight our theme, food our central thought, and the Seniors and faculty our guests. Another big event of the year was the junior Prom with Charles Penniston and Colleen Bowman reigning as King and queen. The theme was Dreamer's Hg1iday , the date, April 28th, and the music was fur- nished by Eddy Lawrence and his orchestra. About three weeks after our last year had started we were back to thirtynmmbers in our crew again. Larry Thurston, who transfered from Chicago, and advanced from sailing on such small bodies of li 0 as the Great Lakes, came up here to finish his training on the Pecato- nica. 2 In this our Senior year in A.H.S., we presented the Inner Willy as our class play on February 14th and 15th, took over the school paper, Best Years , and a hundred and one other things. We managed to spend most of our spare time diligentlyQ?j working on class work--some struggling to get 'A' grades, and others just struggling to get grades. The few who have managed to make that 90 average or better are: jerry Saalsaa, Donna Lou Anderson, Frances Etter, Robert Kohler, Emogene Johnson, and Darlene Matley. The boys have done their share in the athletic department with eight of them being mem- bers of the Letterman's club. They are: Russell, Carlie, Fritz, Larry, Robert, Floyd, Sher- man, and Odell. Thirteen members of the class participated in band, a score of others in choruses, and other vocal groups, dramatics and forensics. Now as big frogs we are almost ready to give our pool to the little Junior tad- poles . It has been fun--no one can deny that--and I think the real feeling of everyone is I wish I were coming back next year! 1- i
