Junior Class History When we launched upon the Sea of Knowledge in September, 23 as Freshmen we were 37 in number. The first event to break the monotony of this voyage was the banquet given by the Sophomores. When we left the next port as Sophomores there were 36 of us. The largest class at that time in Homer High School. Stub’’ Allen was chosen as Captain to steer the ship safelv to the next harbor. Clayton Vandenburg was appointed first mate, with Miss Blair as advisor. Having fair weather and smooth sailing during this year we had many good times, having been entertained by the Misses Margaret Lambright and Marie Hess. But we regretted the fact that we lost two of our crew during this year of our voyage, Billie Williams and Leta Kline. After several months of strenuous work the Captain again granted us leave of absence. On reporting for this, our third part of our journey, Edith Putnam was given the appointment as Captain of the Juniors with Elva McClintic as first mate and Mr. Osborne advisor. Taking the roll call we found that Anna Polzin, Doris Reid and Marion Harlow had failed to report, also that Shirley Adams had been transferred to another ship, sailing later than ours, she having been ill when ours left the harbor. One frosty evening we saw many lights on shore. Wondering what the occasion was. we landed and found to our surprise that we were in the large and magnificient city of Clarendon and there we attended a party with the Sophs, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Vandenburg who had recently been married. Later (April 26) we celebrated a similar occasion in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Sharp (Linnie Powers) but we did not leave her as we did Jay, but hope to have her with us to the end of our four year journey. Theron Cutting dropped off at one of the stops which we made and Mary Hubbard was added to our number, making the present enrollment of twenty-eight. We’ve been in bad storms a plenty while thus far we have traveled, but alwavs have come out all right. Thus we hope to continue sailing for years to come upon this Sea of Knowledge which is unlimitable in extent. 27
