XJ!! f N: 1 gf f Q - .1 35 ,VA D cmss HISTORY In September, 1935, a group of thirty three excited voyagers gathered at F. H, S. to board the ship of nKncw1edgen. Like Columbus everyone had a spirit of adventure and hopes were high but our ideas of what lay beyond were quite vague. We were ushered onto the upp er deck and introd ced tc our pilot, Mr. Ralph B. Hoover, who tried very much to make us feel perfectly at home. However, we were very timid. despite our enthusiasm, and each of us had some doubts about the advisablllty of setting sail on so long a journey. But when our pilot assured us that we could easily attain our destination if we extended a little effort the group settled down and started on the four year voyage, At the end of the first two weeks we were all well acquainted and realizing that we needed a captain, we elected Henry Derbyshire to that position, with Geraldine Baltaley Arlene weikert and Horace Neely as his able assistants. Some of the group were inclined to sea sickness and a few of the dishes, such as Latin, did not appeal to them. There were also several with whom sea'l1fe did not agree at all so they decided to disembark at one of the small ports. However, the remainder decided to do their best to become adjust- ed to these undesirable foods and before we realized it spring arrived and we were inform ed that we would anchor until fall. Our second and third voyages brought us to new shores in the Nworld of Educationn. We were given a new pilot each year but kept the same captain. Several of our crew left us and it was necessary to secure new helpers for the captain, As we grew more accustomed to the new life we were given more responsibilities and with them the privilege to use what talents we possessed. In our third year, with Mr. E. H. Slaybaugh as pilot, we were cond- ucted to the theatre of the ship where we presented our first play. Our crew being of the adventurous type we selected the mystery play, nHobgoblin Housen. Then before anchoring we made plans to get together during the summer in order to prepare for our last and beet voyage. Captain Derbyshire left us and Esther Mae Geigley was elected to take his place. Her new assistants were Robert Newman, Elise Newman and Regina Hankey and the rest of the crew aided more than ever. In the fall of 1958 we set sail fdr the last time with Miss McCleaf at the helm. For some time it seemed that a few did not chew their food well enough and were ill during a great part of the trip. The sea was rougher and hard work was necessary to keep the ship on its true course but in spite of this there was more fun to be had. We presented still another play, nPast Thlrtyu and had many dances and good times in the recreation hall of our good ship. As the nship of Kncwledgen was being towed into port we reflected on the happy experiences of the past four years. 0ur pilot informed us that we had 'only cross- ed the bay, the ocean lay before us . As in our past experience we shall find that the pleasure attained from these next voyages will depend upon our seamanshlp and perseverance, After our commencement days are over we will each set sail to discover new worlds in boats of our own.

x- X Q :. 2. ,N CLASS POEM Everyone who is now alive Remembers that day in '55, When our class began at school To make or break the Golden Rule. We bring you the members one by one, To let you see what each has done. Some have accomplished more, some less, But to them all we wish success. The first is a boy by the name of Clyde Bream Girls are his weakness, to farm is his aim. Then shy little Agnes appears on the scene A student is she with a mind that is keen. And then comes our president, happy and gay, Most of us know her as sweet Esther Mae. Regina, our curly haired, short little lass, Is the pride of an athlete in our Junior class. And shy little Anna, emerging to view Has plenty of pep, is a friend tried and true. Next Florence, an outstanding athletic star, Has a way that we all know will carry her far. Wllber, her cousin, we than offer you, We like him a lot and we know you will too. Our drummer is coming, we know by the beat His real name is Kenneth but we csll him nfeten. Then Doris, a girl who plays the trombone, Another young miss who in basketball shone. And Buck Neely,carefree, a happy young lad, We think that a better sport could not be had. Bob Newman too, is well liked by all He has many talents at his beck and call. Then Bcb's cousin Epp1e 1s versatile too, Plays piano by ear and in softball came through Piney is frail but still thats no reason That he is'nt a star in any sport season. And Mabert is one who can do lots of work There is'nt a duty that she tries to shlrk. The Shulleys new appear to us, Don and Justine by name, No matter what the time or place, they always are the same And Harry is quiet and speaks very low But can always be counted upon to do things just sO The Ray who takes pictures of us every day, No doubt to remember when we're far away. Joe Weishaar is next and he's happy and free Without him just what would our soccer team be? Toot, toot here comes B1l12 motorcycle and all, As a mechanic he'll sure get our call. And last but not least comes our good classmate Nerd As an outstanding athlete he always fought hard. Thus we've ended our story and each one has passed, And our glad days at school have ended at last. Signed Mabert Sanders Agnes Burkhard Elise Newman
