l tl: LASS IHIISTTCDIRXY It all started on the wet, dreary day of September 4, 1951, as a treasure hunt. A motley gathering had assembled at a place called Etna Union High School to begin the treasure hunt which would last an estimated four years. We decided the best place to look for treasure was at the end of a rainbow. Although we didn't realize it at the time, our pot of gold was right in front of us. The first thing we took care of was the election of leaders. First in charge was David Norris with Jean Berthelsen as second in com- mand. Jim Young was to take the notes and Bob Roberts was named money keeper. To guard the money and the whole group was Tom Edwards as Sergeant at Arms. Diane Farrington was given the four year post of historian of the search. The advisors were Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Kelly. The treasure hunters were as follows: John Aitken, Marylou Alger, Sally Antionette, Jean Berthelsen, John Berthelsen, David Black, Roberta Bottoms, Jack Burcell, David Campbell, Ted Carlson, Glenda Czerwinski, Joe Davis, Bob Deppen, Arlene Dickinson, Leonard Dysert, Tom Edwards, Lyle Facey, Diane Farrington, Thais Fleck, Paul Fuglistaller, Larry Gurney, Tom Gurney, Phyllis Hayden, Myrna Holmes, Lynette Killam, Joanne Knight, Donald Lambert, Susan Lambert, Jim Lilly, Bill Martin, Frank McNeal, Joycelyn Moore, David Norris, Harvey Palmer, John Quigley, Jerry Reynolds, Bob Roberts, John Skillen, Tom Smith, C. J. Stroud, Barbara Wahlborg, Darleen Wolford, and Jim Young. 1 Mounting the colorful rainbow which had formed during elec- tion, Barbara Wahlborg became homesick and went home to mother. Maybe she foresaw what was to come. Immediately we ran head- on into a bunch of semi-friendly planeteers called Seniors, who christened us on our forthcoming iourney. One month later, Ne met them again, but by this time we were in higher spirits and returned their christening by giving them a party. After much merry-making, we were again on our way. In November of the year 1951, MayLou Alger and Paul Fuglistaller blundered too near the edge and were lost. Sally Antionette took a side trip but was to return at the end of the year. Finally, to make up for our losses. we recruited three new members: Ethel Dutra, Georgianna Klump, and Carol Davis. By this time our spirits were slowing down, but we revived them some by having a swimming party. After this we had to take a three months' layoff for repairs to the ranks. At this time, Sally Antionette left, but all in all we had covered the steepest part of the climb and finished the first legt of our search with forty-two of the original forty-three starters. We started on again September 8, 1952, well refreshed and once more forty-three strong. Barbara had recovered from home- sickness and again had returned to the party. Before proceeding we elected new leaders with David Butch Black in command and Jerry Reynolds second. David Norris was installed as note taker and Phyllis Hayden was to keep the money. To guard the money and keep crew members in line, was Larry Gurney as Sergeant at Arms. The one addition to the rank and file was Norma Olson, otherwise the gathering was the same as before. Immediately on resuming the iourney, we picked up Tom Mc- Bride and then lost Bob Deppen. The going was starting to level off with the rainbow getting prettier and the treasure was on every- one's mind. The highlight of the year was another party. This time it was in a soft romantic atmosphere in memory of Saint Valentine. During the remaining months of 'the second year, the strain of the search proved to be too much for a few of the treasure seekers and in quick succession Joanne Knight, Susan Lambert, Ethel Dutra, Don Lambert, and Tom McBride dropped over the edge into oblivion. Finally, to bolster the morale of the diminishing fiorces, Joan Vali arrived and suggested we lighten the lives of the discouraged grou behind us fthe Freshmeni by entertaining them- with song an dance. A three months' vacation was ordered by the commande but this time it proved disastrous. Due to the inaction, five men bers of the group dropped out. Those lost were: Roberta Bottom: Lynette Killman, Joan Valin, Jim Lilly and Joycelyn Moore. Climbing ever higher on our rainbow, we arrived at mid-poir on September 8, 1953, and began the descent to our goal. Countin heads found only thirty-four left from the starting forty-three. Du to this, some reorganization was in order. Ted Carlson was put a the head of the procession with Jerry Reynolds as his seconr Glenda Czerwinski was named taker of the notes and Thais Fleckt be mistress of the money. Also, we had lost one of our esteeme chaperones, Mr. Kelly. His place was taken by Mr. Earle Lapp, wh was to assist our Mrs. Campbell. The quest went on much as in previous years. Feeling som: thing special was needed, we decided to give a party, only th time calling it the Junior Prom. This was the first Junior Prom 1 be given in several years, and contrary to tradition, was a hug success. Later on, Leonard Dysert, Tom and Larry Gurney, an Georgiannia Klump decided the search was futile and ioined otht parties to find their treasures. Going down a particularly stee part of the rainbow, we acquired Donna Scott, Leonard Taylor, an Warren Beechler, but they, unable to take a firm standing, sli off to the side a few months later. Since the path was so treache ous, we stopped to rest and entertain the population of the pat of many colors by giving a three-act mystery entitled lt's All I Your Head. This was such a record breaking success that vi planned to give another the next year. At the closing of th rugged year, we gave a farewell party to the tiring, aged, planeteei of 1954. Another three month break was needed by this tim: Then, a faithful companion through the three years thus gone b' C. J. Stroud, said his goodbyes and sought more colorful rainbow The final leg of the search began on September 7, 1954, with tl' sun shining and the rainbow more colorful and promising tha ever. The group, thirty strong now, chose its leaders, for the tin. nine months who were Bob Roberts as president, Jerry Reynold vice-president, Glenda Czerwinski, secretary, and treasurer, Tha Fleck. Mr. Earle Lapp dropped out as chaperone and was replace by Mr. Ed Preston. Continuing on, the group in unusually good spirits, decided 1 pass on some good cheer to the new generation of, treasure hunter Using paddles, shoe polish, and lipstick, we finally proved to the that life was as colorful as ever. Almost a month later, the sam group of youngsters honored us with a very enioyable party. Knowing this was to be one of our busiest years, we set 1 work at once producing a three-act comedy entitled Love ls ln tl Air. At this time our ranks were reduced to twenty-nine, as Jo? Aitkens dropped out to ioin another group called 'the United Stati Army. The last few months of our search were slipping by swift when our'faithful advisor and play director over the years, Mr Campbell, entertained us with a coffee and walffle feed at hi home. Since we were ahead of schedule, we took a day off fc partying, and having fun in general. Things returned to norm until in the final few weeks a group of Junior gold seekers sent i on the final days with a farewell party. Now, on the horizon we see our goal. Beyond that there wi be bigger more colorful rainbows and goals on other horizons fi which we shall forever strive.
