3 tislorij of {lie Glass of ' G” Betty Hunting All ashore that are going ashore’’, the call rang out and we a group of shy, frightened beginners were ready to embark on our first voyage out across the great Sea of Education. Miss Whitsman was our commander that first trip and she steered us firmly but gently over the rough waters. With but few storms we weathered our first trip, and had our sea legs ready for our next trip, which was aboard the Good-Ship First Grade. Miss Landon was at the helm and steered our course on through the rolling billows. After a short and probably well-earned leave, we again set sail. The jour- nies continued, some spots smooth, some rough sailing under our various com- manders. We set sail in our first senior high school year by entering the new building as the first group of freshmen recruits. We were properly initiated by our ador- ing superior officers, the sophomores. A few new shipmates joined us and after the first spell of seasickness, sailed along with the rest of us. Our business officers for that year were; President, Joyce Rother; Vice-president, Jack Nuyen; Secre- tary, Karl Peterson; Treasurer, Don Starner. A hayride highlighted our shore leaves, as two of our classmates remember. Shall we do it again? Aboard the Good-Ship Tenth Grade we had the joyous pleasure of sweet revenge. We could persecute the poor freshmen. A tobogganing party was one of the highlights this year as one of our classmates well knows. Evelyn Wilson suffered a broken leg and was confined to sick bay for some time. Our business officers this year were: President, Don Starner; Vice-president, Fred Smith; Secre- tary, Betty Molenaar; Treasurer, Lucine Brugh. We discovered the storms grew a little rougher as we advanced out to sea, but most of us weathered them well. I say most, because a few of our shipmates disembarked to set out in their own small crafts for other seas. Our Junior year aboard was very eventful. We received our rings to display as a mark of rank and achievement. The Junior play was a grand success as were the banquet and prom. We were more than proud when we could march down the aisle with those who had their training and were ready to set sail as the cap- tains of their own ships in the Sea of Life. Our officers for the year were: President, Vonne Verc Shellman; Vice-president, Karl Peterson; Secretary, Eleanor Carpenter; Treasurer, Jack Nuyen. We sailed into our senior year with colors flying. Miss Mott, who had set our course for the past three years, again took over the same task. Excitement reigned while we had our pictures taken and waited for their development. We set the scene for something new by presenting a donkey basketball game early in the second semester. We had a hayride which was enjoyed tremendously despite rain. We changed the senior tradition of putting on a mystery play by present- ing a rollicking comedy called Miss Jimmy”. Our officers for the year were: President, Karl Peterson; Vice-president, Mariell Sabo; Secretary, Evelyn Wilson; Treasurer, Jack Nuyen. We started the idea rolling for an annual which was taken up with enthusiasm by the rest of the school body. Now we are all about to set sail in our own small boats. Soon we will march down the gang plank for the last time. As we do, let us always remember our class motto tonight we launch, where will we anchor?” {12}
