10 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1928 Senior Class History With a strong gust of wind, the airplane, loaded with the graduates of 1928, was seen starting on its weary flight of twelve years. It was a fine day in September, in the year of 1916, and Mrs. Woodman was our trustworthy pilot. Through the skill of our driver we landed safely at the end of one year of our traveling, with a new Curtis plane. At the end of three months, it was time to resume our journey upward and we started out with good cheer, though many times w’e were afraid we might land in rugged places. Our driver was a very reliable one, Miss Ludwig, and through her kind assistance we landed safely again. In our tour of the next winter we were rather unfortunate because so many pilots resigned. At the beginning of the tour we had Miss Carlton as our pilot and Miss McCarthy was at the driving wheel when the tour ceased. In our fifth year Mrs. Tonkin continued to hold her place as driver, but she did not remain long, because we lost her through death. During the remainder of the fifth and sixth tour Mrs. Elmer piloted the plane. During the seventh and eighth tour we had a very prosperous tour, with Mrs. Williams and Miss Goodrie at the helm. Harold Barber was president of our first organized group. In our eighth trip we were taught how to conduct class meetings. Next year we were classed as little freshies along the well known airplane route. We had a very good driver. Miss Soule, and although the Algebra and Latin were difficult, some perished on the long journey, but most of us landed safely again. We were always flying higher, but we must not gain our ends too fast, so we started our tour with that jolly, good-natured fellow, John Rebol. as our sole adviser. We found the plane tipping at times, but by Mr. Rebol’s assistance the heights were reached for a safe landing. Only two years touring left. All cf us felt relieved to think that we would land safely. We always worked, but we surely believeu in having our fun and it was unusual to notice each night a list of the names of pupils on the board who must remain after the others had gone. We had become accustomed by this time to the general trend of affairs and things did not seem as difficult as they had in the preceding tours. The main event of the year was the Junior Prom and it proved to be a great success. In the year of 1928, mostly girls were seen entering the plane of 22%, but the boys finally joined our group and we had a total of twenty-two in the class. We drove into many air pockets, such as history, civics, typing, physics and News Writing, which caused our plane to waver, but our skilled Junior and Senior pilot. Miss McMillan, with the aid of her able mechanics, Mrs. Zimmerman. Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Julian, righted the plane and the journey continued. Due to the rocking of the plane a few were unable to continue the final journey and only eighteen are now ready to land in the field of experience. Since we were Seniors we felt as though we should not abandon the plane before the journey was ended. Now. after twelve years of weary traveling, we are ready to land and we trust that we have been loyal to our motto, to the stars through difficulties.” Class Will We, the Senior Class, in the year of our Ix rd one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-eight of the Chinook high school, Couny of Blaine.
