38 CLASS HISTORY In September, l934, I34 Freshies trouped into the Halls of Learning - plebes on Ship G. L. H. S. After the first few days of confusion-losing our schedules, rooms, books, and ourselves-we settled down to routine work with Miss Yinger as our class advisor and Don Marshall as our class president. The crowning event of the year was our Freshman picnic at Riverside Park. We all took our roller skates and skated to the beautiful music of the-nickeIo- fdian. The next year 102 of us returned as second classmen. We elected Ivan Maguire as our class president, and Robert Blough, I-Iortense Corbett, Sue Dunn, and Edythe Hiscock as our other officers. We had several interesting parties and a lot of fun. Our junior year sailed along smoothly on quiet waters, with Robert Klingman at the helm. Folly day came-the day for which we had been wait- ing for over two years. We dressed as funny as we could and had a hilarious time all afternoon. In the evening there was a costume dance in the gym. We waited impatiently for the time to order our class rings but we decided fafter they finally did arrive, that they were well worth waiting for. The main event of the year was the junior-Senior Banquet. We worked hard and secretly to give the Seniors a banquet they would remember. The .scene was the deck of a large ocean liner in the South Sea Islands. Of course the most serious part of the year came when we ushered in the Seniors for Baccalaureate and Commencement services. We welcomed our Senior year with Miss Bassett as advisor and Donald Mcpeek as president. This year was started off with a Senior picnic at the Park. Our main trouble for the first semester seemed to be raising money, so we sold magazines and sponsored a movie. The last semester passed too quickly-with pictures, cards, invitations, Skip Day, Banquet, and May Breakfast. There was so much to do that no one seemed to have time for it. Gerald Hover earned the honor of being valedictorian and Beatrice Parker was salutatorian. Port Graduation was near before we realized it, and we pulled safely into port with 70 hardy midshipmen aboard-those who had survived four years of struggle and fun on ship G. L. H.
