,CLASS +H1lsToRY SHIP Anovii . it was a happy day when the Huron Traciciess Taxi drove up to Garden Wharf where our ocean iiner. SS. Christian High was docked. Our new ocean liner was much more iuxurious than our previous ship, the SS. Huntington Ave. We boarded the SS. Christian High with a feeling of anxiety mingled with fear. Things were so different on our new ocean liner. We were now navigating with Captain Thiessen at the heim. We also hailed a new member to the crew, Nirs. Niatthews. She had charge of those never to he forgotten Algebra Classes. Then too. that year we made companions with many new passengers. it was inter- esting to watch our new passengers as they waiiced up the gang pianic with an important air about them which was soon deiiated as they encountered the high and lofty senior passengers with their heads ahove the smoice stacics. There always seemed to he parties and hasicetbaii games to attend and any number of things to do. Upon completing our freshman year as passengers, we found ourselves feeiing very seasicic after those exams. and our vacation on shore was welcomed. A Our interest in Graduation Day was renewed as once again we boarded the SS. Christian High in 1950 as siiiy sophomores. Now we were fuii-Hedged senior high passengers and were anticipating our own Graduation exercises, because we had already witnessed one. New crew members. Miss Smalley, Mr. Kimball, and Mr. Basham adapted themselves weii to the atmosphere about our ship. Niiss Smaiiey became our stateroom partner whom we grew to iove deariy. That was the year Mr. Basham taught us hioiogy, and oh, we shaii never forget that outing in the Blue Hiiisi X 1 C 23

CLASS HISTORY By June we were very excited about becoming Junior passengers, although the weather had cheated us out ol our class trip. Our vacation on shore that year found us well scattered. It seemed as though there were some of us on every corner of the earth. Our growing pains were beginning to diminish as we boarded the SS. Chris- tian High in 1951 as Junior passengers. New crew members for our Junior year were Miss Partington, Miss Messenger and Mr. Darsch. English class hecame more interesting when we learned of the Fish Miss Messenger had landed hy fishing from the declc of our liner. We regretted that we had to bid hon voyage to a most important crew memher, Mr. Gilbert. The loss of his wonderful testi- mony left a gap in our lives. We shall never forget Backward Day and those aromatic corsages the poor fellows were forced to wear. Then too, there were many lectures on growing up and the wonderful day that We raised our heads ahove the smoke stacks. Even with this, some of us were still a hit skeptical as to our chances of ever getting out of SCIIOOI. V Our last day as Juniors found us sailing high at Canohie Lalce, and oh, that rollercoaster! That ever-present seasickness had just about vanished as we had become accustomed to those final examinations. Our stay on shore that summer could hardly he called a vacation. Loolcing forward to being Senior passengers and realizing that we had only a short way to go, seemed to cause our vacation to sail hy more rapidly than usual. 24
