,, v„vnr, ,, n '' : HISTORICAL trip In the fall of 1949-50, a crew of twenty-four willing but frightened persons rep' rted fra dangerous mission. They were Homer Beckler, Jeannine Bruhn, Dcyle Brundage,Donna Brunholtz, Ruth Fitzsimmons, Fleanor Harders, Richard Har ers, Donna Lee Hargens, Alice Hir.kscn, Leon Hinkson, Lester Hochstetler, Mary Hochstetler, Geraldine Hulme, Donna Jear hirk, Betty Maier, Roma Jean Muhlbach, Dale Rohweder, Jearnine Ruzicka, Betty Schaupdach, Darcld Snyder, Marilyn Sundermeier, Clyde Veeder, Beverly Vierk, and VaLon Welty. The crew captain was Mrs. John Archer. The crew set sail with a definite destination in mind and equ- iped for rough or smooth sailing, whatever the condition. During the first league cf the s- cond year of our trip, Re-:gie Young decided to join the crew and Lester Hochstetler decided to answer the call of adventure. The gang plank was lowered and he was dropped off. Reggie was given the job of washing the deck until he learned the rules and customs of the crew. Another mate, Donna Brunholtz, chose tu walk the plank also when she decided to marry into the air force. Clyde Veeder and Richard Harders also recieved the same fate when they decided the going was too rough. Mr. Lawry was the crew captain during the second year of cur voyage. In the early stage cf the third year at sea, with Mrs. Jonas as crew captain, Mary Hochstetler left the ship to begin employment in Grand Island. Since the crew was in need of entertainment and finances they decided to anchor for a short time to give the play, Inner Willie . The crew also sponsored the Junior-Senior Banquet during their leave. The crew set sail once again with encouraging motto, Forward ever; Backward never , with Mr. Kelson as captain. One of the mates, Reggie Young, failed to rally so he walked the plank to find smcQther sailing. Eleanor Harders also left when an intruder lured her to a land of Para ise. The case was similar to that of Ruth Fitzsimmons. There were then seventeen loyal, faithful, and courageous per- sons left to guide the ship safely to its destination. Since more fuel was needed and finances were low, the crew chose certain mates to give the play, Ready-made Family . With excess proceeds that were obtained from the plays great success, the crew put their heads together and planned a Sneak Day. Without letting anyone know, they planned to anchor for a few days near the coast of France, and visit Paris. The crew was reminded that their voyage was nearing completion by Bacaulnureate services and that the destination was definitely arrived at when they anchored to attend Commencement excercises. Will their future destination be arrived at with the same ef- fort? -d -tt

They came to recieve awards and give amend And to decide the futures alternating trends.
