On September 8, 1950, our inter-planetary space ship, the EUHS Scbolarrbip, landed on the planet Frosh- land. This planet is the first stopping place for all be- ginning voyagers. For the next four years We had to fight the elements of nature in our search for knowledge. This was the test to which we were subjected before we could take our place in the universe. Our officers were: Skipper-Rod Eastlick, First Mate-Nancy Gane, Quartermaster--Nancy Carlson, Navigators-Mr. Gordan Hay and Mrs. Basham. The crew: Marcell Black, Nancy Jo Purcell, Pat Utz, Harriet Skillen, Don Roberts, Chuck Cromwell, Helen Hammond, Bonnie Deppen, David Franklin, Annie Barandun, Peg Thompson, Ronnie Morris, Milton Steen, Leroy Walthall, Sharon Holmes, Audrey Gepford, Mike Bryan, Joanne Smith, Marilynn Ley, Nancy Carlson, Tamara Coloia, Rod Eastlick, Mary Hammond, Pat Thompson, Don Meek, Lee Cramer, Larry McMinimee, Nancy Gane, Marie Bogue, Gwenath Saunders, Myrtle McCanna, Elda Hall, Darlene Birdwell, Clara Linderman, Jack Minney, Denise Roberts and Billie June Brown. Soon after our arrival on this strange green planet, a group of weird monsters C class of 'SU caught us and, deciding that we looked like we were lost, began showing us the ways of their planet with paddles and clubs. They did no serious damage to either of us or our ship, so we made a treaty instead of destroying them with our hy- drogen guns. According to the provisions of this treaty, we gave a party to humor them and they, in turn, agreed to leave this planet at the end of the year. Every fighting ship has its casualties and ours were the loss of Mary Hammond, Alice McLaughlin, Marilynn Ley, Pat Thompson, Don Meek, Lee Cramer, Myrtle Mc- Canna and Darlene Birdwell. After a three month vacation, we started off to explore the next planet, Sophinus. Because of near mutiny, we elected new officers: Skipper-Mike Bryan, First Mate --Rod Eastlick, and Quartermaster-Helen Hammond. CMr. Starr and Mr. Hay were our navigators.D While we weren't looking, Nancy Carlson, Tamara Coloia, Elda Hall, Jewell Neal and Gwenath Saunders were spir- ited away by a group of planetmen. Since our crew was diminishing, we picked up ,Ed Klump, Connie Dishman, Don Minard and Billie June Brown, who were drifting in space because their ship had struck a meteor. During that year we happened to find a large flying saucer called Jackson's and stopped for a skating party. During three months of recuperating, we anticipated the day when we could have the title of Upperplanet- Wialozq men. After a long search, we landed on the planet Juniper Jack Minney, Harriet Skillen, and Rod East- lick were the new officers for this trip. Mr. Hay and Mr. Starr were lost so Mr.iWalker and Mrs. Foster be- came navigatots. Under this new command, our ad- venture was much the same as before. We continued on our course, but having passed the halfway mark, our future looked brighter. One old crew member, Gwenath Caravalaho, came back for a visit, bringing with her Don Minard, Richard Price and Richard Kramer. Larry Mc- Minnimee was lost to a planet across the sky, Yreka. Clara Linderman and Billie June Brown went in search of some new planetmen and for some unknown reason never came back. As could be expected, Don Minard got lost during his wanderings, Marie and Gwenath were at- tracted by some strange earthmen, and Connie was sucked through a broken hatch. I believe she was picked up by another ship. The Junior planet invited all the planets of the universe to the hilarious planet production of The Little Dog Laughed. Later, we met a group who were on the last leg of their journey and we treated them to a skating and swimming party. Our navigators suddenly moved on to greener pas- tures, and since we couldn't continue without them, we stopped until new ones could be found. Finally Mr. Preston and Mrs. Eastlick, old timers at the game, donned their space outfits and consented to lead us on. Fol- lowing tradition, we signed on new officers: Joanne Smith, Mike Bryan, and Helen Hammond. Esther Peder- son joined our party during the stop and soon we were on our way to the last planet we were required to visit- Seniorius. On the way to that great planet we encoun- tered some little green planetmen just beginning their voyage, and remembering our former experience, gently showed them the tricks. Having been through so much, everyone was careful to see that he was not the one to fall by the wayside. Nancy Gane transferred to another expedition but we had no other loss. We presented our second play No More Homework, which was a great success. Later, a kindly squadron only a year younger than ours presented us with a farewell party as we neared the end of the voyage. Finally on June 4, 1954, nearly four years after the beginning of our expedition, we received our charts and threw a Planet Prom to celebrate the completion of our adventure. Thus, it seemed, came the parting of the ways, some went on further expeditions while others began their careers.
