Glass History In 1934 the Senior class of '46 started on the first lap of their voyage on the Pirate ship. The chief Pirate .was Miss Inez Hult. She helped the following 15 ,boys and 10 girls climb the gang plank: Marjorie Bareis, Dorothy Boese, Jean Doug- lass, Darwin Ellis, Bernard Gass, Charles Hoth, Elbert Jahncke, Dorothy Kerr, Marjorie Kerr, Duane Lammert, Milton Lawson, Jack Martins, Shirley McNally,iRamona Meyer, Rose Marie Mey- er, Robert Muchow, Idayne Plaht, Bill Palmer, Marna Jane Reinhardt, Billy Schlee, Edward Jr. Schmid, Floyd Schultz, Eugene Severn, Margaret Mae Stutzman, Robert .Thompson and Milton Turner, During the winter months, when it was too dangerous to travel abroad Coutsideb, we made rugs for our card board playhouse and furniture out of oatmeal boxes. We dropped anchor at second grade and were met by Miss Annette Rislov. We enjoyed making our Indian Tepee and pottery although the teacher probably did not enjoy the paint on the furniture. Darlene Ames, Lyle Benson, Myrtle Schultz, and Darlene Stockman joined our Merry Crew, while Robert Muchow and Idayne Plaht left the- ship. At Port III Darlene Ames, Arthur Hofer, and Ruth Knuppe boarded the Pirate Ship, while Lyle .Benson and' Milton Turner left the ship. Jack Martins was especially popular this year when the class made pin cushions out of clothes pins for Xmas present. The reason was that he provided the cotton for those who forgot. their stuffing for the pin cushions. Our Captain this year was Miss Letha Hesner. As we again climbed on board after a pleasant summer we were met at the fourth grade by Miss Eleanor Cade. Darlene Ames, Darwin Ellis, Myrtle Schultz, Milton Turner, and Mary Jane Reinhardt didn't come aboard with us. Highlight of the year was a Halloween party during which we gave our first class' play. Hero of the story was Dwight .Marston twhen wasn't he our hero?J while Rose Marie Meyer portrayed a witch. Georgia Robin- son arrived in time for thelast 9 weeks. At the.fifth grade we were welcomed by Miss Elma Berkland. We were sadden- by the absence of Bernard Gass who had been killed. The boys perked up their appearance when two new girls came on board, The were: Gloria Ellefson and Betty Wedo. Our art improved during .the year when we made big pictures of famous inventors. Sornel of them tor should we say, a very few of themy were really good. ' Wei set our three-year course, not bythe stars, but by the advice of our Captains Miss Katheryn Long and Mr. Harold Plank. Kenneth Boese, Mary Bursell, Betty Flack, and Kenneth Lofstuen joined our crew, In the second year our teachers were Mr, Plank and Miss Lucille Mus- chewske. Betty Wedo dropped out here. Mr. Louis Schnilder and Miss Helen Fraser captained us for the final year in grade school. Darlene Ames. Betty Folsom, Shirley Mundt, and Gret- chen Zieman entered the ship this year. We en- joyed a taffy pull at Dorothy and Marjorie Kerr's, where we had all the taffy we could eat. The calamity of the evening occurred when Jean Douglass and Bob Thompson, instead of waiting for instructions, plunged their hands into the taffy and spent the remainder of the evening trying to dislodge the ever-sticking taffy from their fingers. We were on our way towards our final port. The record breaking class of 29 boys and 27 girls was now ready to start its toilsome journey over the four-year course. On the first lap of the journey we greeted the following newcomers: Lyle Benson, Gene Brainard, Billy Dickman, James Far- mer. Erwin Glock, Ardis Green, Ruth Elaine Green, Betty Gunderson, HeleniHanson, Izetta Hanson, Otto Hanson, Betty Hager, Robert Hager, Don Harris, Virginia Heuser, Earl Koenig, Marion Koenig, Gertrude Kugel, Edwin Kurkestue, Ethel Kurth, Gilbert Liveingood, Shirley McNally, ,Ardis Neverman, Marjorie Olson, Rosella Opsand, Charlie Peake, Corrine Rypestol, Milton Turner, Doris Walby, Shirley Welzel, Robert Wettleson, and William Wullner. ' Here Billy Schlee left the ship also Margaret Stutzman, Betty Flack, Ruth Knuppe and Charles Hoth. . In our second year, as Sophomores, Eugene Mork, Vivian Osmundson, Virginia Peckham, and Jack Vanderweg joined the class. Dorothy Boese, Kenneth Boese, James Farmer, Edwin Kirkestue, Gertrude Kugel, Kenneth Lofstuen, Ardis Never- man, Ronald Russet, and'William Wullner depart- ed. The main attraction at this port was the pic- nic at the Stone House. As Juniors we welcomed Bernice Bachelder, Mary Brown, Calvin Kostman, Charles Hoth, Art Schultz, Gwenn Schultz and Darlene Szabo. Leaving the class were Lyle Benson, Billy Dick- man, Izetta Hanson, Helen Hanson, Eugene Mork, Robert Thompson, and Shirley Welzel. Midst the daze of being upper-classmen we presented our Junior play College Daze. The success of the year was the Sadie Hawkins Party, which we spon- sored, in which we all 'got our man' for one night. We began working on our long awaited Junior- Senior Prom early in the fall, with the theme being an Old Dutch Garden. We spent many happy hours making windmills and tulips for this grand affair, We -reached the last lap of our cruise as Seniors of P. H. S. with our diplomas in sight. Here we missed Earl Koenig but welcomed Lor- incer- Fuelling and Marion Hammond. Our mus- ical talents were brought out by our presentation of the Operetta, The Forest Prince. Later on our dramatic talents were displayed when we were well represented in the Declam Contest, As a climax to our colorful voyage we unraveled the mystery of The Thirteenth Chair. , ....11...
