HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '48 KESWICK HIGH SCHOOL As we look back across the sea of time we see five small children in the year of 1936, about to embark on their voyage through school. The Captain in command of their first two years is Marjorie Wiese and the passengers are Gene Dawson, Alberta Fridley, Norine Wagner, Mary Jean Morgan, and Norman Collins. We entered the second year of our journey with the same five and three new passengers--George Van Fleet, Billy Martin, and Albert Means. In the Third Grade we lost Billy Martin and gained Lucille Dunn. Velma McClung became the Captain to pilot us through the next two years of our journey As we docked between Ports Three and Four, we lost four of our pass- engers and gained one--Richard Channel, who was with us only a short time, leaving Lucille Dunn, Alberta Fridley, Albert Means, and George Van Fleet to journey onward. Gladys Meyer guided us safely through the fifth and sixth years and in the Sixth Grade we gained Mervin Husband. In the second half of our voyage Val Eva Graham became our Captain to see us safely to Port Seven. During this league of our voyage we gained two new passengers--Helen Taylor and Dale Wright. Velda Jean Axmear took command in our eighth year where we gained Glenn Wyant and lost Dale Wright. Those who graduated from the eighth grade were Mervin Husband, George Van Fleet, Albert Means, Helen Taylor, Lucille Dunn, and Alberta Fridley. Leaving Grade School forever behind us we journey onward into High School with the same six passengers who left the Eighth Grade Harbor and four new ones to make our trip merrier--Florence Craig, Glenn Raplinger, Earl Craig, and Ray Terrell. Our commanders during our freshman year at K. H. S. were W. L. Evans, Jessie T. Earhart, and Norma Erwin. We lost Albert Means between Ports Nine and Ten when he moved to Sigourney.
