io Senior Booster m ■ ■■ —■———■ Senior Class History On September 9, 1929, the Buffalo set sail on a four year vovage. It carried on board, twenty-four students who were to work j !their way along, amid the pleasures of the voyage. The Captain of ! s the ship was Edythe Fairbanks, who had been chosen by the whole I group. s i As she called the roll, she found the following people to be ! oresent: Donald Rusten, Agnes Salisbury, Nora Cromer, Francis Wet- ; zel, Lowell Barnhart, Doris Riggs, William and Mary Griffith, Junior IWernli, Harold Zimmerman, Roger Wormley, Kournies Spurgeon, Thomas iHoldsworth, Emma Bental, Edward Stevenson, Dale Be:;t, George Brew- i ington, Esther Keonig, Ruth Cooper, Walter and Addison Peck, Char jlotte Beldon, and Dorothy Lilley. As advisors she found Miss Tal- cott, Miss Liek, Miss Hostetter, and Mr. Mattill. At different intervals during the year, due to sickness, many would ndt report. This was to be expected but Edythe began to suspect something when, for a week, Esther Feonig did not appear, and rumors were afloat that she had stayed at the last stop. Edythe was extremely disappointed, as were all the other students. It was some time later that the ship stopped for refueling, and a moonlight hike was planned. It was soon discovered that Francis Wetzel was planning to quit the ship at this part. My, how the Cap- j tain fretted.' With him gone, there were only twenty-two left,' - I The ship must keep sailing, however, and this it did midst work j and joy, punctuated with songs, games, plays, sports, and studies. i When the ship halted for a brief three months stay on a pretty little island where the students could rest, work, and enjoy them- selves to the fullest, all were eager to land. But it was also with a feeling of gladness that they welcomed their schoolmates when the ship again set sail in September. Edythe was again chosen fcr Cap- tain. It was soon noticed, however, that all were not there, Ruth Cooper, George Brewington, and Junior Wernli had not come back. New advisors were also noticed while two were recognized. Mr. Mattill and Miss Hostetter had returned, but Miss Talcott and Miss Liek were missing, while Miss Brown and Miss Campbell replaced them. Everyone started m again with hearty good will, and continued it through the entire year. Much progress was made in Athletics, scholastics. Geometry, Science et cetera. Fournies Spurgeon, Roger Wormley, and Doris Riggs stopped at different stations, leaving only sixteen students to carry the burden of the class. Stil?. the ship sailed on and on for nine whole months, braving the elements midst t |sorrow, laughter, parties, work and the general run of the school •year. When it, stopped, at length, for its annual three month's va- tcafcion, all students started out in different directions for rest.

 r Senior Booster In the event of the ship's starting again, a new Captain was I chjosen. Donald Rusten was given that honor. Several members were 1 again missing. Dale Best and Tom Eoldsworth had stayed on land Much to our disappointment at not seeing the two lad3, the ship . again pulled out of the harbor. Just then someone said, There's I hiss HostetterJ But where are Miss Campbell and Miss Brown? , and, i sure enough, Miss Thomas had been substituted in place of the two. ] We expected a got d 3ubstitute--we had changed two for one. f , More Basket Ball, a Christmas p1ay, declamation pieces etc. ! served to take our minds away awhile from the routine of school i work. During the year Addison Peck landed and stayed at the land- ing. Eew studies were to be added to the list as many Juniors were induced to try Shorthand and Typing. But during the year these new studies grew rather tiresome so that all were ready for their vac- ation when The Buffalo stopped again having successfully completed { three years of travel. x , . . . . • ’’ hen the ship again set sail, this time to complete its voyage, ' there were only one-half the number remaining which had started. Walter Peck and Lowell Barnhart had stayed for more vacation . We ; were pleased to see Thomas Eoldsworth again in our midst. Among our advisors, Mr. Mattill alone had stuck with the ship i for Miss Hostetter was nowhere to be discerned. Miss Thomas was ; still there from last year, hut Miss Barnes had come to take the ( place of our former commercial teacher.
