Senior Class History In the fall of “42” we set sail in the ship of learning from the port of ignorance with 34 green Freshies on board. The captain on board was Jim Fieldhouse; as mates were Kenneth Brooks, Barbara Rowen, and Dick Hendricks. The waves were rough and as our ship was frail we saw need of appointing some one to steer us upon the right course. We chose Mr. Ely. At a meeting of the officers and middies we chose the colors Blue and Yellow to fly on our mast. We were all seasick until we became full-fledged members of the sea, by being initiated by the Senior Classmen. In October we celebrated by having a roller skating party. After three months’ vacation in the new ship, “Sophomore” we had thirty aboard ship this time. As captain of the new ship we chose Barbara Rowen, with Jim Fieldhouse, Shirley Hart, and Alice Moo- lenar as mates. This year we chose Mr. Ewart to steer us upon our course. Near the Close of our Journey we held a. weiner roast in Belstra’s woods. We then dropped anchor for a few months’ vacation. Before setting sail upon o ur third voyage, we made our way to the shipyard. Here we selected a ship which we named “Junior.” To steer us upon our course we chose Mr. Stangle. As captain we elected Barbara Rowen, and as mates, Bernie Marshall, Evelyn Osting, and Alice Moolenaar. On March 31, 1944, we presented the three act farce “For Pete’s Sake” which proved to be a huge success. At the close of school we gave the Seniors a farewell tribute by entertaining them with a banquet at Mary’s Restaurant, and all, both Seniors and Juniors, reported having the time of their lives. Our third trip ended then and we took a four month vacation. In the fall of 1944, 30 members came back on hoard for our last trip on the Sea of Learning before we all set sail upon the great sea, The Sea of Life. For this final trip together, we elected Dick Hen- ricks, as captain, and Milton Peterson, Bernie Marshall, and Jim Fieldhouse as mates. Because of a member had to leave we chose Norman Abbring as one of the mates. Since the waves were unusu- ally rough and continued to he so, we chose Mr. Moore to steer us upon our last course. The ship we chose was the “Senior.” We decided to keep our same class colors of blue and yellow. Our class motto is “If We Rest We Rust.” Our play this year we tried to equal if not to better that of last year and presented “One Delirious Night.” The end of our trip is in sight. After graduation, we embark again — we set our sails and are off to unknown ports.
