CLASS HISTORY Four years ago there were sixteen of us on a pirate ship. They were Curtis Hughes, Crew Captain; Darrell Bradshaw, First Mate; John Buchanan, Third Mate; and Phyllis Mulkey, Ambassador. The remainder of the crew consisted of Alpha Weaver, Rose Duwe, Loretta Clawson, Mickey McGuire, Denny Mc- Call, Buddy Ahlin, Clyde Holland, Leo Jones, Jimmy Tutweiler, and George Hollibaugh. To test our stamina and ability as good pirates we were made to walk the plank and drink a strange tasting pirate made concoction. We found nothing of great value except a small bit of knowledge in the jewel chest this year. When we began our voyage, the next September three of our old crew, Clyde, Alpha, and Curtis, had been lost at sea. To compensate this loss Jerry Crossman, Joyce Lawless, and Clara Kingery were shanghaied. We added more knowledge to our stock of valuables. The third year of our cruise was very eventful. Toward the end pirate life became dull and we planned a shindig. (Junior Prom) and a pig roast (Junior, Senior Banquet). Leo Jones fell overboard and was swallowed up by that whale called Uncle Sam. The last we saw of Darrell, he was standing on the island of Love with an arrow in his heart. Joyce, Mickey and John gave up piracy and went treasure hunting on their own. George and Clare joined other pirate ships and Phyllis got tied to the stake of matrimony It is surprising but another small bit of learning was added to our treasures. On the fourth and final year of our cruise we had just six members. Our first celebration was the Senior Ball. In the spring of our last year as pirates we were honored by a banquet and formal dance given by our Junior friends. Our pirate career was ended in May 1951 when we had acquired enough valu- able treasure (knowledge) to receive our diplomas.
