On to our sophomore year and many happy times, Our class soon became famous forfwillingness to help, for leadership, and for ability to get things done. Our class, that year, originated what was to become the annual Valentine Dance. Our class was very well represented in sports, music, and other activities of the school. As juniors, we gave a very successful play, nDear Papa,f a comedy based on the lives of an American family. Many of the boys became leaders in sports and the class was very well represented in band, orchestra, and the dance band. we went all out on work for the Junior-Senior Prom. we were pleased to hear so many favorable com ents about the theme, Mardi Gras, and the decorations used to portray it. we chose our class colors, flower, and mottog we acquired the appropriate name of nThe Forty-niners. Our senior year activities began with the sponsoring of the first all-school party, a barn dance. Carole Benson was elected queen for the annual Homecoming Dance. Skip Day, April l, 1949, wasa very enjoyable day for the class. We left Genoa at six o'c1ock and arrived at our destination, Milwaukee,'Wisconsin, at nine. We visited the courthouse and Safety Building during the morning. The afternoon was spent doing as we pleased. At 6 p.m. we met at the Schroeder Hotel for dinner. Dancing and the movies were the after dinner recreations. At eleven o'clook we started on the long, long journey home. we arrived in Genoa at 2 a.m. a tired sleepy, and very happy bunch of seniors. Mr. Roberts, who substi- tuted for Mr. Louderback, and Miss Tiffany accompanied us on our trip. The senior play nNo Moon Tonightn was given May 6. It was a farce comedy directed by Mrs. Theodore Soli. high-lighted by musical numbers, the reading of many other interesting acts. The year draws to laureate services and Graduation exercises.

Prophecy Adventure-loving people as we are, Miles Johnson, Bill Sherman, and I, Ann Holroyd, decided to take an exciting round the world voyage. Many unexpected things occurred during our trip, as you shall find out by reading our diary. A Globegadder's Diary - 1971 Friday, April 18: Have started our round the world voyage: all omens point to an exciting trip, for the strangest of circumstances brought us in contact with a few of our classmates. we were speeding around a corner in New York City and just had time to catch a glimpse of a figure, in not very immaculate white, sitting dejectedly on a curbstone. It was our classmate, Dan Bonne. He had achieved his ambition of being a white-collar man in a big city. we waved frantically, but discovered, to our disappointment, that he was asleep. When we arrived at the dock, we perceived a familiar crewecut jut- ting above one of the many barrels along the dock. The head was nod- ding vigorously to the tune of nOh, Come All Ye Sinners.n As we drew closer, we saw a woman ringing a bell for all she was worth with one hand and extending a tin cup with the other. The man with the crewecut was busily beating an old drum. No, could it be? It wus! Pat and Clyde, of all people! They were devotedly supporting tho Salvation Arnq' with their lusty voices. They looked entrancing in their drab gray uniforms. - However, the most alarming thing in all the day's experiences hap- pened when we were putting out to sea. As we were gazing at the Statue of Liberty for a last look, we discovered, at the charming lady's head, a person on top waving a white bandanna. Using our binoculars, we dis- covered the figure was none other than Lawrence Rubeck jauntily perched on the top, evidently much at home- Inquiring around, we found that he had perched there for six weeks in an attempt to pass the former record Monday, April 21: Aboard the USS Cog for our trip. Found our state- rooms very comfortable. Suddenly, without any preliminaries, up the ganrplank came someone completely hidden under two immense trunks, which were dumped unceremoniously before us. From under them Norene Hayden, Chief Stewardess, rose to her full, imposing height. we leazned from her that the two explorers, Bettie Westerbeck and Dolores Swanson, were on the vessel bound for ancient Sheba. Now who ever would have thought Bettie and Dolores would do that! Seeing so many Prankanstein pictures must have given them courage to set out on this daring adventure. 50
