1rln.e7 .mm..a IBILHMEIIG The last year for the crew was filled with much joy. For admiral we chose Robert Terry. After being given another promotion to Lieutenant at the beginning of the voyage, we lost Navy Nurse Vera Slate to the U. S. S. Jewell City, and gained Nurse Mary Jean Fenner. Two members joined the G. E. H. S. crew the second half of our voyage. They were Navy Nurse Rosemary Cooper and Radioman Bob Lee. We docked at senior port to give a hilarious play entitled 'Eeacon Hill Billy . Because of rough weather and popular demand for repetition we presented it for a second time, May 9. We also had our annual Senior sneak away from port, when we went to spend Friday and Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri. The Junior crew gave us a charming banquet on May 2, 1945. Finally the evening of May 22 arrived. On that evening the crew re- ceived their diplomas and promotions to Captains, and even though they will drift far and wide, they will always look back on the journeys of the G. E. H. S. and will be reminded of four years well spent. SENIOR SNEAK 'J On Thursday evening, April 5, the Senior class, accompanied by Mrs. Morris and Mr. Sutcliff, boarded the local train for Kansas City, Missouri. After a sleepless night of fun we arrived at the Union Station at about 6:50 a. m. Soon afterwird we eriioyei a hearty breakfast at the Forum, followed by a shopping trip and an hour at the penny arcade. We met at the Union Station at 11:00 a. m. and visited the beautiful and impressive Liberty Memorial. In the afternoon we crowded into a street car and headed for Swope Park. We looked at the different animals and birds for some time, then hiked through some of the park. . In the evening we went to Bring on the Girls and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn before retiring. The first place of interest we visited on Saturday morning was the Kansas City Museum, and the second place was the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art. Both places were very interesting and educational. After another afternoon of shopping and another movie on Saturday evening We left Kansas City, tired but feeling our time had been well spent.
