THE FRANCILLIAN man and Donna Jeanne Topp did very well. This year, the Home Econo-mics girls entertained their guests at a. Bunco and theatre party in the Lower Deck. Deciding that we had overcome some of our greenness, the ofllcers pushed us on -to the rank of Silly Sophomoresf' After selecting our class president, Gerald Bailey, and captain, Miss Burget, we competed with the upper sailors in the sale of season basket ball tickets. Although we were not fortunate enough to sell the most tickets, we were lucky enough to be next to the highest. Because of this deed, we were honored by celebrating at a basket ball game, after which games were played and refreshments were served. Two members of our crew, Mary Margaret Surfber and Jeanne Leh- mann, after winning first and second places respectively, in the county Latin contest, competing in the dis- trict contest, brought home the high honors of third and .four-th places. These -same two girls entered the district Geometry contest. At the end of this year, our sen- tinel announced we were just two knots from the port, Senior Class of '38 . In 1937, we viewed through the porthole. We had often longed to be sail-ors of this rank which of- fered so many opportunities of our first social life. At our first convention, we elected the following second mates: presi- dent, Jeanne Lehmanng vice presi- dent, Donna Jeanne Topp: secretary. Raymond Render, treasurer, Merl Anderson and our wireless operator, Mary Margaret Surber, who weekly sent her news iby wireless to the weekly Francesville Broadcaster. The man at the stern this year was Mr. G. G. Sharp, who -so successfully guided us 'through our Junior year. Miss Burget was again elected as our Cap-tagin, who so faithfully and patiently toiled with us in making our Junior year a succ-ess. It was the-cause of the able direc- tion of Captain Miss Burget, that our play Margie was succes.sful. Margie , a fthree act comedy, was very well received and many compli- menfts were returned to us. We feel if the audience enjoyed the play as much as the cast enjoyed giving it, that we well deserved the compli- ments. Again 'this year, we competed with -the other sailors in the sale of season basket ball tickets. We tied with the Seniors, but after a draw, it resulted in a victory for the Senior Sailors. Our flrst class party was a theatre party on the island of Monticello After seeing Love On the Run, we enjoyed refreshmen-ts at the Green Lantern on the island of Monon. At the present -time, we are one knot from the zport, Senior Class of '38. We are hoping for smooth sailing from now on, and trus-t that the roughest of the voyage is over. We also hope tha-t no more of our crew becomes sea-sick and that our entire numnber will tbe met at port by their desired vocation, college and social life. -Donna Jeanne Topp, I Mary Margaret Surber. JUNIOR CLASS POEM In Pensive Mood As we pause to look at days gone byg Of all the school day joy and song: Regret and sorrow bring a sigh To think of -those days as nearly gone. Hopes of 'the future remove the tear As we think of all it's going to be, The most important is the Senior year, ln which, we hope, many joys -to see. There is no doubt that we have proved To be a failure in many ways, But yet we hope that we have soothed One broken heart in fby-gone days. In eleven years we have paid For sorrows here and there: So may our plans not be delayed As we have given them full-fare. VVe each will go from place to place To many far and many near, But we may see each smiling face At the beginning of the Senior Year. We feel it impossible for us to repay The many dear teachers to whom we're in debt: But we may take this -time to say: All the failures we've been-for- give and forget. -Mary Long, Mary Margaret Surber. 1937
