Cibatsisy Inlis i TOMO’ ’Twas in September, 1920, that sixty-five Freshmen boarded the ship, “Opportunity” and began to sail the seas. At first it was rather difficult to get along, but after a time we became more accustomed to the ways of the waters. We were piloted on this journey by Frank Smith and his three assistants: Helen White, Virgil Swalley, and Lucile VanAman. When we had reached the middle of our journey, we were accosted by heavy dark clouds, which brought on quite a severe storm, but we passed through this successfully, and thus began the second semester of our journey. This semester passed a little more successfully, thus making the dark clouds and severe storms of examination a trifle easier to pass. At last we reached the island, ‘‘Vacation.” The Sophomore ship started on its journey o’er the seas with less, confusion. This time the crew was piloted by Dale Gephart and his as- sistants: Claude Hoover, Lucile Vanaman, and Theo Lane. The journey was successfully made, each of us having been able to pass the storm of examination, and again we steamed into the harbor “Vacation.” The Junior ship! Yes, the ship set sail once more, but we weren’t Sophomores any longer; the name of Junior had been thrust upon us. One of the honorable members of our crew, Jane Ellen Hart, was editor- in-chief of the high school paper, “The Maroon and Blue,” so we made quite a renowned record that time. Of course it was necessary and cus- tomary to change the piloting force again, so Margaret Ellen Hersh be- came pilot with Perry Houser and Lucile VanAman as her assistants. Our benefit show, ‘Across the Continent,’ met with great success so we were able to stage the Junior-Senior banquet. Thus we ended this ex- eiting trip by again reaching the island “Vacation.” Once more and for the last time, we board the ship, with the name Senior at last attained. Our crew is Perry Houser, Paul Miller, and Lucile VanAman. We have an honorable member who is editor-in-chief of the G. H. S. “Aeolian.” Paul Grischke and his assistants are working hard on this book, and we all know it will display superior workmanship. We are giving a play, which we feel confident will be a success, and now we are awaiting until our ship reaches the island “commencement,” where chief manager, Mr. Carroll, will give us our long-hoped-for certificate to Success. —HELEN DITMARS.

CAS SeL@EN We arrived in nineteen-twenty At the dear old G. H. S. Rather timid, rather bashful, We were that we must confess. But each term has made us stronger And our confidence has grown, Till now we are quite cool and calm, And to others widely known. Some of us are tall and slender, Some of us are short and fat, But take us as a whole And we will pass for all of that. We were always represented In activities and in games. Not meaning to be boastful, We have won many fames. So as this year brings to an end Our dear old high school days, We say good-bye to one and all And hope we win their praise. —LUCILE VANAMAN.
