QL tl ILII elnnl llaltlll llslln-il1Y 0 AN HOUR DF MEMORY A famous four-year voyage to four great planets of the Universe began in 1943 aboard the jet-propelled plane, G. E. H. S., and painted in the colors of blue and silver. At the take-off of the first year on a September day in 1943, this party of twenty-nine adventurers packed their baggage and started out, little knowing if they would ever see their friends and homes again. Here we have a picture ofthe travelers as they are ready to bid farewell. 'Ihey selected for their motto, We Build the Ladder by Which We Climb. Oh, what a day of excitement when they began to go aboard their blue and silver plane! 'Twas quite a picturesque scene seeing those youngsters walking up the gangplank of G. E. H. S., their arms loaded with books, pads, pencils, and their minds with open doors in quest for the riches of Bookland. ' Officials in charge were Dorotha Mae Weidenhaft as Pilot, Richard Dean as Co-Pilot, and Max Stucler as Recorder and Financier. The spon- sor was Miss Margaret Henry. Their first stop was on the planet of Neptune. The bright lights of this planet spotted each Freshman and initiated them at the first Senior chapel. Their first social gathering was on Tuesday, September 28, when all mem- bers aboard enjoyed a picnic in the Lowdermilk pasture. The evening was spent playing baseball and other games. Other parties were held during this year. Then we took off toward the second heavenly body, Jupiter. This year our Pilot was Geneva Neifertg Co-Pilot, Donna Jones, Recorder and Finan- cier, Robert Hardestvg and sponsor, Miss Butts. We left behind us Marjorie Wiens and Weldon Luckey, but took 'aboard Ruby Cooper. One of the social events for this year was a farewell party for Robert Hardesty. After seeing the Seniors of 1945 graduate, we began to make prepara- tions for visiting planet number three, Venus. Leaving behind us Lou Vena Hughes, Lois Ahlvers, Rosella Fisher, Willis Bailey, and Robert Hardesty and took on Evelyn Steele, V. Ann Seidel, and Max Sutton. Donna Jones acted as Pilot, Bernita Timbers, Cc-Pilot, and Charlene Kholer, Recorder and Financier. Mrs. Clover was sponsor. This group acted as hosts and hostesses to a Senior reception for the class of 1946, amidst a Spring setting. In the fall of 1945, twentyathree Seniors stayed together for the final trip to Mars. Another change in oflicial staii' was made with Bonnie Ahlvers as Pilot, Virginia Shoemaker as Co-Pilotg and Joyce Forster, Recorder, and Max Studer, as Financier. Mrs. Morris was sponsor. A fall Carnival was held and everyone who attended had great fun. The funds from this event were used on the sneak to Denver and Colorado Springs. In January the class honored Mr. Sutcliff at a birthday party, present- ing him a gift. In May they were guests of the Juniors at a Reception. They returned on May 20, with a diploma in hand as an award for this four-year journey.
