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

- 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

The Ship's Log ' one had been, we were waiting for the fruits of the future. We welcomed the return of Miss Brown as our sponsor and the election of Harry Houk, presi- dent, Robert Scherer, vice-president, and Georganna Dinger, secretary. To make our voyage more eventful, Donald Bohnke invited us to his home for a weiner bake, and in the spring Betty loan Bumgardner was hostess to our class. The sophomores began to show their enthusiasm in scholastic activities when Frances Griebel entered the State Latin Contest and came home the victorious winner. Our class role was diminished by the loss of Dorothy Bogard, Harry Houk, Frieda I-lederhorst, Loretta Knipstine, and Alvera Scheu- mann, but this loss was partially recompensed by the addition of Edna Rorick At last we heard the call to become upper-classmen. We returned- thirty-three high-spirited Iuniors-who were so full of vim and vigor that nothing could prevent our advancing. Irene Shive failed to return, and during the year Cupid captured Betty lean Springer. Parks Holt moved away, but later Robert Dehnert and Rachel Iohnson joined our troop. Mrs. Sheehan was given the honor of becoming our helpful leader. The election returns pro- claimed Gordon Hisner, president, Dow Counterman, vice-president, and Evelyn Kleine, secretary-treasurer of our class. One day in September, a visitor called at school and said, Could you arrange with the Iuniors to select class rings? This question gave the Iuniors a thrill. Iust think! Class rings! Having selected our rings, we waited several extra long weeks for their arrival, Other high-lights included two class parties -the first at Hazel Clayton's with a treasure hunt as the main feature, the other party was held at school. The Iuniors gave a banquet at the Y. W. C. A. in honor of the Seniors. Soon we received our passports to enter' the class of privileged Seniors. As the tide advanced, thirty sophisticated Seniors returned to cast their efforts toward the door of opportunity. Again we were given the pleasure of having Mrs. Sheehan appointed our sponsor. We chose the following officers: Charles Weilbaker, president, George Saalfrank, vice-president, and Ruth Mae Hile, secretary. This year our class role seemed to be minus a few co-eds. Evelyn Kleine and Luella Rexroth failed to return, Betty Wiswell and Rachel Iohnson moved away, but Cupid took a toll when he captured De Vona Kleine. Nevertheless we gained another likable student, Glenn l. Flora. Our activity map included two class parties and two plays. Growing Up was given in October, and The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come was presented in March. Both plays proved to be a success, and we hope the community has enjoyed them. These Senior days are surely fleeting away, and now we are brought to the County Tourney. The boys certainly showed their skill, endurance, and patience in those trying battles. We are very proud of the players and also of the student manager, we know these experiences have taught them to look forward to adventure in everyday life. Charles Weilbaker has served three years as student manager, Dow Counterman has played on the hardwood four years while Gordon Hisner and Robert Scherer have been active on the team three years, Herman Guenin and Herbert Uffelman have served two years, whereas Robert Dehnert and George Saalfrank each served a year on the team. As graduation time nears, many of us feel our happy school days an- choring at the shore only to begin on our way of life. Many are hoping to make history in this fast advancing world to replace this mere class history. EMILY BACON, HAZEL CLAYTON. 14
