Ga kr Ga M Qs THE C-ONCORDIAN 1939 at as Ga G-3 Qs SENIOR HISTORY lContinued from page 65 By the time May arrived everyone had spring fever so badly that the ship was put into dry dock for the summer. As the crew disbanded we found that Mary Eads, John Eads, and Walter Schooley had left the ship some where along the journey. The third lap of our journey was started in September 1937. Uur Navigator was Miss Esch, Captain-Carol Teuchert, First Mate-Lloyd Rockenbaugh, Yeoman-- Verna Kluth, and Purser-Ernest Kenaga. Those who did not return with the crew were ,lean Fager and Robert Wolgamood. We were pleased to have three new mem- bers Phyllis Canen, Norman Kentner, and Margaret Wright. Everyone was so pleased to be back together again that we gave a skating party and invited all crew members and their friends. After several months of smooth sailing we thought it would be very nice to give a play for all the persons aboard. The play chosen was 'GHigh Pressure Homer '. Directed by our Navigator, Miss Esch. Since we had had a large attendance at our tirst skating party we again had two more in the spring which met with equal success. One evening the entire crew stopped in at Herman Bullardls stateroom and gave him a surprise birthday party. About this time we were all stricken with sorrow over the death of one of our crew members Ralph Strayer. As the final climax to our third year of sailing we gave a banquet at an island for the members of the crew of the boat which had left the shores one year before we had started on our journey. Seeing that the sailing from here on would be the rough- est, we decided to stay on the island and freshen up for the last lap of our journey. The day to again start on our journey arrived and all the passengers and crew members were on board. Those whose names were missing from the log were Orville Alexander, Dale Miller, June Miller, and Fred Wright, with one new name, Regina Koppy, added. The Navigator chosen was Mr. Duker, Captain-Carol Teuchert, First Mate-Lloyd Rockenbaugh. Yeoman-Verna Kluth, and Purser-Phyllis Canen. The first big event of the trip was a Halloweien Party given in the entertainment room of the ship, to which everyone on board was invited. The weeks came and went and the first thing we knew it was Christmas. Phyllis Canen invited each of us to her stateroom to spend an enjoyable evening and ex- change Christmas gifts. In January the ship became ice-bound for a week. Two months later the best talent from the crew was chosen and the play Hliittle Shepherd of Kingdom Come was given, under the direction of Mr. Duker, as enterl tainment for the passengers. We are now looking forward to coming within sight of our destination which will determine the turning point in each one's life. -Verna Kluth. flf7l

F ifzy In the fall of 1935 a complete new crew of 69 members boarded the ship Concordia. Every one knew there were to be four long laps of the voyage but each was willing to take a chance for the honor which was to be theirs at the end of the voyage. For the first lap of the journey the Navigator was Miss Light, Captain- Wayne Martin, First Mate-Verna Kluth, Yeoman and Purser--Kathryn Mumaw. After several months of hard sailing we stopped at a small island for an eve- ning. When everyone had gone ashore we thought we would have some fun,iso one of the crew, Dale Graybill, found a steep hill and gave the rest of us a veryrenjoy- able sledding party. The next day as we left the island we added Paul Pressler to our crew. In the spring we purchased several sets of slide pictures, which were added, as our contribution, to the laboratory. In May the crew became restless so the ship was anchored in the harbor of one of the larger islands. As the crew went down the gangplank three of our members Lamar McCrory, Florence Kreider, and Paul Pressler were missing. The summer months soon rolled by and in September 1936 the Concordia again set sail, with 55 crew members. Those who had not returned were Mary Adams, Harriet Bontrager, Betty Brown, Harold Colclesser, Robert Cook, Waneta Dietrich, Maxine Fager, Dewey Gongwer, George Greiner, Esther Hartman, Lois Helminger, Muriel Himebaugh, Doris Miller, Dwight Weaver, and Harry Crouch. The new mem- bers added to our crew were Virginia Cooper, Robert Cooper, Robert Yunker, and Marvin Wagner. For the second lap of this important journey the Navigator was Mr. Myers, Captain-Robert Yunker, First Mate-Carol Teuchert, Yeoman and Purser--Earlene Thornton. As we proceeded on our journey we decided to give all the new crew members an initiation party. It was held in the main hall and games were enjoyed by every- one. In return for the friendship which was shown to them, they gave us a party in the gymnastic room to show their appreciation. Our crew was very much interested in all varieties of activities from music to basketball. Sixteen members took active part in music and seven of the boys played excellent basketball. tContinued on page 7j E61
