SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the beginning of the ninth month of the year of our Lord. nineteen hundred and forty-four, there entered upon the sea of wisdom forty-five seekers of knowledge. Many of these came from St. Peter's School and the lower grades, while others came, fresh and green, from the country. And it came to pass that these wisdom seekers were received on board the Ship with great rejoic- ing and much baw1ing out by those who were to be their companions. Now it chanced that this crew found it necessary to establish a stronger bond of union among themselves and thus a call was issued to the crew on board and they assembled together and organized, choosing Vivian Yantes as their leader and calling her Captain. But too hard was the management of the crew for one, and thus to aid in future hardships and joys, Willard Oestreich and Ralph Schumacher were chosen to help man the seagoing vessel. Now many were the trials and hardships which this ship encountered, especially along the coast of Algebra., A brain storm, in which problems and numbers fell in torrents, was met and passed through, and only through perseverance on the part of the crew were they deservedly awarded. And the visits along the French Coast during History were those of excitement and pleasure and many of the crew became overjoy- ed As the Ship sailed along, the members on board gained wisdom and knowledge and became ac- customed to the habits and customs of their fellowmeng they were less troublesome and more contented and peaceful. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second year that the crew had lost Wilbur Graunke, Charlotte Clyne, Arlen Haften, Edward Hedtke, Marjorie Hutchinson, John Mara, Raymond Marketon, Gor- don Motzko, Delphon Graunke, and Raymond Warn, leaving us with thirty-five. Darlene Elsener and Clar- ence Schmidt found their way to the Ship, thus increasing it to thirty-seven. Under the direction of Wil- lard Oestreich, our new captain, James Mooney and Norma Lowe, the crew put out to sea once again. Now it chanced that this voyage was both dangerous and interesting. A terrible monster was en- countered along the Southern Shores-a monster that pulled some of the members overboard and nearly devoured them. This sea animal was of the type, Bookkeeping. And it came to pass that some of the crew encountered a terrible battle with insects and the like at Biology Coast, but arrived home safe and sound. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the third year the crew started out with thirty-eight. But in a few months lost Clarence Schmidt, Beatrice Lewis, Colleen Gardner, and Darlene Elsener, and received one new crew member, Marilyn Fredericks. Virginia Dunn was made Captain, with Edward Muckenhirn and Therese Ditty as her helpers. The crew was now gay and happy for it bore the title of Juniors, Now it chanced that as the crew explored the scattered ruins of history, it was held spellbound by the many things happening in America. The weather was stormy and especially so off the coast of Africa in the harbor of Chemistry. Here the Ship ran up against many difficult formulas and experiments, and low were the spirits of many of the crew when the ship sailed out to deeper waters. Now it came to pass that the voyage became more clean and bright as the Ship sailed toward the shore, but before landing, the junior crew, assembling together, held a great reception in honor of those companions whose help had always been cordially extended, and who were to leave the Ship when anchor- ed. Now it came to pass at the beginning of the fourth year the crew was again decreased to thirty- four when Elizabeth Swartzer left us. The Captain, Howard Strey, overwhelmingly chosen by the crew, together with Edward Muckenhirn, Harlan Scherer, and Therese Ditty, took charge on the last voyage. It was decided to have a last, great crew assembly on this voyage, and the members were entertain- ed by a class play. Great was the enthusiasm arousedin the preparation of the event and also in its presen- tation. . A long, protracted storm arose which threatened the ocean calm. It was another hurricane on the high seas of Delano-t'The Annual. The storm was so bad that several of the crew were threatened with insanity, but they were kept secluded till the danger subsided. And it came to pass that as the ship reached shore, the crew was perfectly contented and happy. Thus ended the voyage of this cruise. Now that we have launched, where shall we anchor?
