SEN ICR CLASS HISTORY , T was in the fall of 1913 that we launched our ship, Freshman on the clear lake Cowan High School. The crew consisted of Theodore Ball, Raymon Turner, Noailes Hayes, Edith Dragoo, Ruby Hays, Edna Dragoo, Mary Haynes, Gilbert Tuttle, Beulah Jeffer- son, Mary Hayes, Harry Johnson, Guy Neff, Madge Priddy, Carrie Reese, Aud- rey Rhoton, Mary Ross, and Lamon West, with Mr. Carson as captain and Miss Louella Cordier and Mr. Kern as first and second mates. We were in- experienced sailors but willing to help each other. NVhen Gilbert lost his belt Guy helped him hunt it. With a good captain to guide us and two exper- ienced mates to teach us the ways of ship craft, we faithfully began our ex- plorations in German, Algebra, Botany and English. We discovered many new and novel things but learned all about each as we found them. As we sailed into port the next spring, we de- cided that the Freshmen were no longer large enough for us, so a new ship was built. The fall of 1914 saw us launched in the new ship which we called the Sophomore This year we found that Thedora Ball and Mary Haynes had decided to sail on other waters but Harry Fleming, Elzo Clevenger and Roberta Fleming had joined our crew. This year we still had Mr. Carson and Mr. Kern on board but Miss Louetta took the place her sister had held the year before. Everything went smooth- ly this year and we explored farther into German and English, completed Algebra and became slightly acquaint- ed with Geometry. We also explored the Isles of Ancient History where Diogenes went about the streets hunt- ing for an honest man and Socrates drank the poison Hemlock. About the middle of the winter Guy Neff fell over hoard and decided that dry land was safer, so he swam ashore. In the fall of 1915, a new ship was built. The jolly Junior and the crew again set sail. Beulah Jefferson had become frightened because of Guy's accident and failed to join our crew. This year we had Mr. Fewell from In- 'dianapois as our captain and Mr. Eilar of Hagerstown, Miss Sutton of Indian- apolis and Miss Michael of Eaton as mates. We safely finished our explor- ation in Geometry, continued our Ger- man and English and visited the twin isles of Medieval and Modern History. The most important event this year was the reception we gave to the crew of the Senior on board the Junior. The fall of 1916 finally arrived and we set sail in the large ship Senior with the Purple and Gold flying at the mast head. VVe learned that Mary Ross had set sail on the sea of Matrimony with Mr. David Siewart as captain. However, our crew was joined by Harold Vice, a very good sailor. This year we found one of our mates, Miss Sutton had left us. Her place was filled by Miss Ryan. We took it upon ourselves to explore a little of the lifc into which we were soon to go as the commercial world and a fmodern kitchen. At last we have reached port for the last time, feeling that we have thor- oughly explored ,the Lake of Cowan High School and each is ready to try his hand as sailing his ship on the Sea of Life.
