- The Ship's Log Senior Class Poem of 1942 Graduation day is near at hand. But as the day draws near, Seldom has the future loomed So gloomy and so drear. Our future looks so very drab. Tomorrow seems so far away. But if we try to do our best, Success will surely come our way. We've made so many friendships dear, These years we've spent in school. Of course we've had our petty quarrels, But we've always kept the golden rule. Our colors patriotic are, They hold a lesson true, Patriotism to our country The red, the white, the blue. Our motto, too, holds words all true. Let us all live up to its name. Think what you do and do it well. Build for character, not for fame. Ioan Sorg 12

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in September, nineteen thirty-eight, forty-one freshmen recruits met at the Hoagland High School to enlist in the Navy of Education. After our classes were organized, we elected Parks Holt to the presidency with Robert Scherer as Vice-president, and Rowena Barkley, secretary-treasurer. Miss Brown, our capable pilot, guided us through the unknown and sometimes dif- ficult waters which beset us as inexperienced seamen. During the year, we sponsored two class partiesg the first get-acquainted party was held at Irene Minich's. Despite our fear of initiation, it certainly was a real success as an ice-breaker, and it paved the way for jolly gatherings in the future. The following spring, we decided to have another party before disbanding and going home on furlough. This kid party was held in our gym- nasium. Members of the fair sex dressed in kiddish clothes and returned to their playful tea-party days for one evening. Through the entire first year, we were subjected to teasing and torment- ing by a band of barbarous pirates who called themselves the Senior Broth- ers. We were also accused of being green and we often heard freshies spoken in a scornful tone. We were truly sorry when Rosena Burke, Ralph Smith, and Richard Woods found it impossible to continue their education with us. They were real friends, and we missed them. After enjoying a summer vacation, thirty-six ambitious sophomores re- turned to classes. Although the adventure was not as dark as the previous 13
