Whenever anything needs fixing, he sees that is is done promptly and correctly. Pete has become a pal of all the students, and we hope to show, in some measure, our appreciation of his efficiency and friendliness during the period he has served us by dedicating this volume to him.

ROUTE--UP LIFE S' RIVER PORT C.H.S. TIME 1940 g-'-.gl,-g1g-.q- No story of the Mississippi River would be complete without mention of the passenger steamboat service which affords happiness to hundreds annually as the Streckfus steamboats ply on excursions up and down the river. FOREWORD So many times looking from a window in our school building at the tranquil, peace- ful quiet of our Mississippi River, its serene bluish-green opalescent beauty has held us entranced. Then it has broken into ripples of activity. The building of a powerful and magnificent new steamboat, The President, by the Streckfus Company and the race between two rival oil companies for the honor of barging up the river the first load of oil this spring, making the trip without chart or markers, gives indic-ation of the interest and progress in river passenger, pleasure and freight service, and incidentally gave us the idea of likening the journey of our class through high school to a trip up life's river. 2.1 'a lime.. 7: -. x - X Q f f A X iw 'r y X - K Q1 JD 1:2121 I in I l IIXX43 A if r-' 9 o e SAIL AND MOTOR BOATING Interest increases in pleasure cruises on the Mississippi and the parade of motor boats is heard daily. Sail boats are appearing in increasing numbers. FISHING BOATS We have several commercial fishermen and an unlimited number of Isaac Walton enthusiasts who greatly enjoy the summer season. BARGE LINE FREIGHT SERVICE Almost daily powerfully engined boats barge gasoline, coal and oth- er commodities up the Mississippi River and return with grain and other products. River traffic is growing rapidly.
