Clifford Jewell is now manufacturer of the tipless, topless, bathing suit. Next 1 received a letter from Kathy Gascho. She is a missionary in the Congo Province. Doug Vickstrom, who lives in New York, is a research scientist. He has become famous for his discovery of little gremlins. Lotys DeFreece is now the owner and manager of Toad Stool Park” in Toad County, Wyoming. Steve Dibbern tells me that he is busy designing two new tractors. They are a cross between John Deere and Alice Chalmbers, and are known as John Chalmbers and Alice Deere. As for me, former Laura Myers, I am happily married to Ron Hargens. I am a French teacher in the Loup Val- It was the year 1962 when a group of 31 inexperienced sailors descended into the hatch of the great submarine the U.S. Cairo High. Since there was much work to be done on the submarine a small group had already descended. These were: Dennis Harb, Mark Hoffmeyer, Clifford Jewell, Raymond Roberts, Joyce Sorensen, Laura Myers, Sharon Bellairs, Lotys DeFreece, Lajean Harder, Charles Sundermeier, Victor Nelson, Donald Rasmussen, and Doug Vick- strom. A short while later new recruits came in. These were: Christie Baade, Lois Brehm, Ron Brundage, Sheryl Brundage, Marcia Conway, Steve Dibbern, Terry Eatherton, Kathy Gascho, Gene Long, Jolene Meyer, Dolores Mi- nor, Marlin Quaring, Roy Rasmussen, Craig Schoneberg, Rose Schweitzer, Twila Schweitzer, Susie Swanson, and Betty Jo Wicht. Our group was headed by Admiral Wiebe who tried to keep us sailors in line. Next in line came Vice-Admiral Christie Baade, Commodore Lotys DeFreece, Captain Jolene Meyer, Commander Dennis Harb, and Lieutenant Rose Schweitzer. As soon as everyone was on board our Admiral assigned jobs to our officers. Vice-Admiral Baade was instructed to conduct all meetings and business matters which needed attending to. Commodore DeFreece was com- manded very sternly to take over the Vice-Admiral's job anytime she was busy . The records and books were handed to Captain Meyer with the instructions to fill them out accurately. The money matters were left to Com- mander Harb. Lieutenant Schweitzer was commanded to stick very close to the radio transmitter and report anything worth reporting. After two weeks she was called into Admiral Wiebe's office and was told very sternly to try and con- trol her fits of laughter. She had everyone at the Naval Base in Washington rolling in the aisles. Several days after our departure we attended a party in our honor. The purpose of this party was to get to know everyone as well as practice our air raids. At the close of our first year together, things began to happen. Some sailor from another naval ship got starry- eyed over Delores Minor and soon took her away from our happy crew. Then as if that wasn't bad enough we were attacked on all sides by sharks. We thought we were sunk for sure. Then Terry Eatherton saved the ship. He said, Since I am one of the smallest I will volunteer to distract the sharks away from the U. S. Cairo High. So sadly we packed him into the torpedo hatch, said goodby and ejected him to his doom. Later we rejoiced when we heard he had gotten away from the sharks and was safely aboard another ship. Just as everyone was settling down again, we were all excited by finding a poor shipwrecked sailor floating about on a cabin door. We took Julie Vierk aboard and made her one of us. During our second year we had a change of officers. Jolene Meyer was appointed Vice-Admiral; Marlin Quaring, Commodore; Roy Rasmussen, Captain; Ron Brundage, Commander; and Donald Rasmussen, Lieutenant. Mrs. Wiebe stayed on as our Admiral. At the close of this second year we again lost a crew member. Craig Schoneberg was regrettably captured by the Vikings and taken off to live with them. But to ease our pain the Government sent us a new tall and eager recruit, Joy Fielder. New officers were again selected for the new third year. They were; Vice-Admiral Victor Nelson, Commodore Joyce Sorensen, Captain Laura Myers, and Commander Joy Fielder. This year Washington awarded us with a new ranking officer, Admiral Cavenaus. Since we were in our third year we put on a play to entertain the new recruits. The play was Annie Get Your Gun with Admiral Cavenaus as our director. Our Superior officers became jealous with all this going on so we gave them a banquet with the name Isle of Paradise to cool them down. As the end of another year came to a close we feared we would lose another crewman and we did. Marcia Con- way was sited for her abilities and was transferred by Washington to another ship. Then came the start of our fourth and final year. We elected new officers for the last time with election returns coming back as thus: Douglas Vickstrom as Vice-Admiral, Susie Swanson as Commodore, Lotys DeFreece as Cap- tain, and Steve Dibbern as Commander. Since this was our last year Washington honored us with two high ranking officers, Admiral Stevens and Admiral Grandstaff. To entertain the staff we put on a large production play called Teahouse of the August Moon with Mr. Exstrom as our director. Since we worked so hard and did so well the lower ranking officers presented us with a banquet en- titled In the Misty Moonlight. As our final year came to a close, we departed from the U.S. Cairo High with high honors to try our luck down the road of life. ley High School near Cairo.
