19-PERISCOPE-32 ll HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '32 On September 17, 1919, the little bark called the Ship of 1932? with a crew of twenty five and Miss Ruth Waterscn as pinot, set sail on the vast expanse of the ocean. which is known by the name of the Churubusco Public School. It was then known that it would be twelve years before the ship would anchor, but just who all W0111d Stick by the Shfp and be with it when it anchored no one knew. However, as we lock over the present crew, we find that Rosalyn Rees. Bonnie Annie Laurie. Genevieve Mead and Helen Harter were the only ones of the twenty five members of the crew who rode its decks from the beginning of the voyage until it anchored. The others of the tv euty five had to leave for other ships or else deserted the Ship O'i 321' We find that all during the voyage the ship picked up new crew members, and after Miss Waterson had piloted the ship for two years she submitted her position to Miss Mildred Rust, and Miss Grace Rowe, who directed the crew during the third year of the voyage. It was during this year that June Duncan came from the Ship Of Nickey School and Ida Barcus came from the Ship cf the Charter Oak School and joined the crew of the Ship Of on the Eusco Public School Ocean. During the fourth year the ship sailed faithfully along over the 'peaceful blue waters under the direction of another pilot, QMiss Lois Deem, now Mrs. Milo Egolf. For the fourth year of the voyage Miss Rhua Parks was in charge as pilot, and the ship sailed peacefully on completing successfully another year of the twelve year voyage. During the sixth year the ship's crew was directed by Miss Donothy Hull, now Mrs. Roscoe Ott, and Mr. Clem Earhart. They sailed along int close company with the Ship Of '31 and Ship Of '30 in the Annex, During the seventh year the Ocean was somewhat revised and expanded and sailing conditions were made better. Mr. Willard Phillips and Miss Ellen Cotterly supervised the crew during this year. All during the past six years many new mem- bers joined the crew but for various reasons ncne cculd find it possible to remain with the ship till the voyage was ended. However. during the seventh year' Bob Nickey came from the Ship of the Nickey School and joined the crew of the Ship Of '32 and has remained with it ever since. Mr. Phillips, with a new aid. Miss Josephine Shriner, piloted the ship through the eighth year. At the end of this year tlxe ship anchored at the port of the Eighth Grade Commencement for a brief time to reconditiou the ship, revise the crew and get certificates certifying that the first eight years of the voyage had been complet- ed, this certificate being the Eighth Glade Diploma. At this port a couple of our membefs left the ship and it was found that' the crew was becoming smaller so it was decided to pick up some other sailors that had also completed eight years of a similiar twelve year voyage. The ship started with a crew of thirty two and among some of the new' members were Dortha Rindfusz, Hildreth Egolf, Mabel Jagger and Ariadne Shively, all from the Shi-p of the Blue River: also Milo Fudge and 'Edna Roberson from the Ship of Eel Riverf' and, Evelyn Richey, Jessie Smith and Bernice Cadieux from the Ship of Collins. Many others joined the clew when the ship anchored at this port but as they could not stay with the ship they did not anchor wth it when the twelve year voyage ended. Since the next four years of the voyage were tc be much more difficult, the ship was manned with a larger fcrce of supervisors. During the ninth year the supervi- sors were Mrs. Ott, Miss Janice Berlin, Miss Fanchon Kline, Mr. Halloway, Miss Avis Roth and Mr. Paul C. Updike, who was later replaced by Mr. L. L. Pefley as captain. During this year the crew organized and ld Robert Nickey as president and Floyd Trimmer for secretaly and treasurer. They chose blue and silver as the col- ors to flrat on the mast of their ship and they secured a pennant in these colors' to carry during the remainder of theii voyage. They chose- a white rose as their flower and adopted the motto, Not At The Top But Climbing. A At the bcgfrning cf the tenth year .lanies Briggs joined the crew and took the place of Tom Keller, who ieft for the Ship of '32 cf South Whitley, as class president and June Duncan as secretary and treasuer.

19-PERISCOPE-32 15 SENIOR PROPHECY-1932 Weary, discouraged, and broken hearted, after wandering aimlessly from the snowcapped peaks of Alaska to the fading blue mountains of Mexico, I. Milo Fudge, determined to collect all of my courage, and come back to the haunts of my former days where I once found paradise but suddenly lost it. I longed to see that coZY little bungalow surrounded by the rose covered picket fence where Minnie. my be. loved wife, used to greet me at sundown, at the gaiden' gate. One year of beaver-ly bliss we spent there but the cruel hands cf Fate gripped each of us and tore us aipart, and due to the judge's decision, Minnie is now known by her maiden name. Longenecker. For ten years I have wandered, seeking the happiness I once knew. To my amazement, I saw large mansions extending from where the school house o11ce stocd.to the sandy beaches of Bite Lake. Pere. I gazed with wondering QYES at a blazing sign which said, Rindfusz Park. Thinking that Dortha, with he.- busi- ness qualities. might be the Cwner of this park, I set forth to find the maain office. While walking along I passed near a side show where a curly, red-haired girl was attracting a. crowd to a side show called Human Knots, Having plenty of time, I stopped to watch her lovely figure as she did several difficult acts. As she moved by me she smiled and winked and vanished into- the tent. I strolled' on across the park to the main office where a. prim stenographer came briskly fetrward to meet me. In answer to my inouiry as to who was the owner of thig park, she replied, Doi-tha Rindfuszf' I exclaimed, She used to be my classmate. Immediately the prim young lady said, Why, who are you? I was in that class' myself. We then intro- duced oulselves asain as we did the first day of school, and I found this young lady to be Jessie Smith. As it was about lunch time Jessie, both to be friendly and seeing my financial condition, asked me to lunch with her. The restaurant, only a few feet away, Jessie told me was owned jointly by Dale Roberson and his wife, who in 1932 was known as Hazel Green. We sat at a little whiite table' near- the front, and as a pretty young waitress came to get our order Jessie said, Ariadne, do you remember Milo Fudge. who was a classmate of ours? Milo, this is Ariadne Shively. As the dinner proceeded we cfnversed about curl classmates. I found that Evelyn Richey, the star basket ball player, had mariied Bink XVIse ancli they were living cozilv with five boy children in South Whftley. Jessie continued and said that the shy little Helen Halter fret vt ith a piece of great luck, and is ttravelirg companion of a wealthy widow' and is at the plesent time traveling in southern Europe. And Ida Barcus, the champion debater, has taken her sistey Roxie's place and .isi nbw' an old- maid school teacher in Collins. Mary Evelyn Hall, Ida's bosom companion, is now general maid for the Nickey household at Collins. Bob Nickey, the proud father of ten children tincluding twin girlsl, I was tcld had married Jane Brooks, and is now a large onion grower and on the brink of financial independence. Olaf Raypole car- ried her music talents through the years and has become a famous opera singer- fn Chicago. At this point our conversation is lIltlll'l'lll'L6d as the same red-haired gI'rl that had attracted my attention in the park stepped, into' the doorway. As Jessie watched me stare at her she said softly. That's Bonnie Annie Laurie. To this I replied, 'H'l1l'll, so that is my old classmate, Bonnie Laurie. She hasn't changed one bit. As Bonnie passed' on we continued the conversation, and I learned that the slowly moving Edna May Roberson had settled drfwn cn the farm with her husband. Pete Gordon. I found to my sorrow' that the Briggs-Rees romance was not proceeding very rapidly, for Rosalyn was getting tired of supporting her no-account husband. Jim Briggs by taking in washings. It is being rumoled that she is heginnintg to realize that the Sullivan-Rees combination might have been the better of the two. Since the conversation was becoming sorrowful at this point, the conversation turned to Mabel Jagger and Carl McCoy, who now live near Avilla where they have a very large poultry farm. tContinued' On Page 25D
