Senior History SEPTEMBER 1942 - Thirty young people register for the long voyage. Nine of them - Alice Grieger, Susan Struve, Marion Birky, Donald Claussen, Ronald Haman, Lester Hurley, Ernest Jahnz, Norman Schnekenburger, and Dale Smith are to com- plete the journey. We purchased our supplies and set sail for a new world of ad- ventures. MAY 1943 - We are now coming to the end of our first year of the trip. We now know what it is about, for we have started learning to read, spell, and add. SEPTEMBER 1944 - We have had two successful years of journeying. It seems as it we have sailed a long way, but we have just begun. DECEMBER 4, 1944 - John Atherton booked passage with us. He is the first new member to come aboard. JANUARY 15, 1945 - Carol Cannon became one of our mates. SEPTEMBER 1945 - As we set sail in our fourth year of journeying, we call roll and find that another name has been added to the list - it is Russell Pumroy. APRIL 4, 1946 - Larry Strong heard of our fast moving ship and came to join us. SEPTEMBER 1946 - We are sailing for the fifth year now and have just ac- quired Gene Nuest. There are always new and different things happening at sea. A mate never knows what will happen from one day to the next. MARCH 3, 1947 - Today, Dick Deli came aboard to be another of our mates. SEPTEMBER 1947 - Jerry Miller came to see how our ship was faring; he must like it because he is staying. SEPTEMBER 1948 - We have reached the half-way mark in our journey at last. It brought about quite a change for now we move about from deck to deck rather than staying on one all day. OCTOBER 1948 - Until now we have had only one girl join us since we set sail, but today Donna Sommers joined us in our adventures. MAY 1950 - All of us received a certificate from the officials acknowledging our eight years of successful sailing. SEPTEMBER 1951 - Now we are venturing into our tenth year of sailing. The end of the journey is slowly drawing near. NOVEMBER 26, 1951 - We are happy to find that another mate has joined our crew - Ray Smith. SEPTEMBER 1953 Our voyage is steadily drawing to a close. The last of our twelve years is to be completed. MAY 1954 Having successfully sailed for the past twelve years, we shall make use of our experiences to guide us in the future.

Senior Prophesy FEBRUARY 11, 1964, 10:30 A.M. I was sitting in my comfortable chair with nothing to do since I discovered oil on my farm east of Kouts; I thought it would be nice just to spend some of my moldy money, that was just lying around, to go on some type of trip. I decided to consult the travel bureau run by Ray Smith. He told me that a good place for me to go would be Toto where the rest of the salvage stuff went. FEBRUARY 20 I decided to go on a super-sonic ship (run by a new material called sconictite) to South America. FEBRUARY 25, 1:30 P.M. I made a reservation to set sail the next week from Miami. While I was waiting to board the atom ship, I heard music. I turned around and saw an organ grinder with a long brown mustache and a monkey holding a cup; then, seeing that the organ grinder was Norman Schnekenburger, I stopped to talk to him and he told me he had quit the embalming business because it was to quiet. FEBRUARY 25, 2:00 P.M. I boarded ship and to my surprise I saw the former Alice Grieger, her husband, and their twelve children who were also going to South America. FEBRUARY 25, 3:00 P.M. I was strolling around and came to a crowd of people gathered around a man talking in Latin; I took a closer look and then I saw Don Claussen debating with the passengers on the subject: “Why monkeys are smarter than people.” FEBRUARY 25, 4:00 P.M. I decided to go to the galley for a cup of coffee where I found Donna Sommers as the chief cook. We talked over old times and I went back to my quarters. FEBRUARY 27, 9:00 A.M. When the ship docked in South America, I hailed a taxi; a cab drove up, and the door flew open. I looked inside and whom do you think I saw? It was Dale Smith with a new 1964 Ford powered with a jet on each lender. We b gan chatting and he said that Ernest Jahnz was in the night club business with John Atherton as “s ar” drummer with Susan Struve accompanying him on the piano. Dale also informed me that Gene Nuest was the secretary of the Gurnstien Breeders Association (Gurnstien - cross between Hclstien and Guernsey). MARCH 1, 1:30 P.M. I went sight seeing around the strange city near the Amazon. MARCH 1, 2:00 P.M. I walked out to the river bank to watch the water when I saw what looked like a tub floating under the surface. After I hit the object with a rock, it emerged. The door flew o: en and three heads popped out. To my sur- prise they were Ronnie Haman, Russell Pumroy, and Dick Deli. They told me they had developed this tub run by the motors of a flying saucer in order to fish under water. They asked me about our other classmates and I told them Larry Strong was married and had become the father of 16 girls and 1 boy. I also told them that Jerry Miller was living in Tennessee playing basketball with the Spaceblotters. I informed them that I had seen Carol Cannon a short time ago and that she own- ed a restaurant in downtown Malden called Carol’s Clean Coffee Clink. They said they had heard from Lester Hurley who was on some South Pacific island. He had six wives whom I know he had wanted for a long time. Having seen or heard from all my classmates, I decided South America was a good place in which to live so I bought a house so I could live there in the winter and could go back to the States in the summer.
