Bach It all started back in 1937 when in scattered points throughout the country, sixty-seven young hopefuls en- rolled in the kindergarten. They continued in pursuit of knowledge for the next eight years; and in 1945, Bad Axe High School beckoned a welcome to all the eighth grade graduates of that year. In September, 1945, all the green Freshmen board- ed the S. S. Bad Axe High to begin a long voyage of four years. In order to manuever the ship on the first leg of its voyage, they appointed Chuck LaBelle as Captaiu, Jim Kerr as First Mate, Judy Davies as Second Mate, DickLeCronier as Purser, and Lee Truax as Engineer. As Pilots,they chose Miss Morgan and Mr. Clark. Shortly afterward, the Sophomores entertained them with a party in order to ac- custom them to life aboard the ship, and later in the year they gave a party in return. This ended the first leg of the journey, and in June the ship was docked for three months while the crew rested up for the next year’s voyage. For the second leg of the journey, they appointed a crew: Captain, Sally Clark; First Mate, Kenneth Mayberry; Second Mate, Pat McBride; Engineer, Dick Glass; Purser, Faith Wakefield; and Pilots, Mr. De Chane and Mr. Logan. This second year they gave the newcoming Freshmen a party to initiate them into the ritual of the ship. The third year the crew was again changed. This year the Captain was Chuck La Belle, First Mate, Harold McTaggart; Second Mate, Jean Kavanagh; Purser, Dick Glass; Engineer, Lee Truax; and Pilots, Mr. Logan and Mr. Stoner. The Junior Play “Footloose,” and the Junior Prom “Cinderella’s Ball were out- standing events of this lap of the voyage. When September of 1948 came, they were just starting the last leg of their four year journey; and as the months went by, they began to realize how sorry they were to see the voyage end. As before, they chose a new crew, with Mary Lee Gravelle heading it as Captain, Billie Lasky as First Mate, Marilyn Pariseau as Second Mate, Pat McBride as Purser, and Harold McTaggart as Engineer. Mr. and Mrs. Logan and Mr. Lamb were the Pilots. The Christmas Banquet, Senior Play, and Senior Prom were the high spots of this year. As the last part of May approached, the entire crew decided to abandon theS.S. Bad Axe High for a few days, and so they boarded a different ship at Detroit and sailed to the Soo and Mackinaw Island. June came, and very regretfully they took their diplomas and left the old ship. Although they may go to far away points, none of them will forget the good times aboard the S. S. Bad Axe High. rJLoolz incj. THE HISTORIANS Dolly Krohn, Donelda Smith, Mrs. Logan, Ann Harder, B etty Forbes.
