SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS John Ray Bo Bowoll Robert Henoch Henry Ross President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Senior Class History Our ship is fitted and we arc prepared to venture forth from the sheltered harbor in which we have docked for the past four years. During the first of these four years the laying of the keel was completed and the construction of the hull begun. The first sturdy timbers were put together under the direction of our chosen ship builders. Robert Henoch, Walter Blanda and Henry Ross. In the second year under the skillful management of Walter Blanda, Henry Ross and Harriet Wegner this work was completed. By this time the workers were well acquainted with the huge task assigned to them, and every man was at his post. The guides selected for the third year were Henry Ross, Frank Flcntye, Jeanette Ordung and Bowen Bowcll; again we bent to the oars and strained toward the goal of perfection. Three other ships were in the harbor, one prac- tically completed, and two in the first stages of formation. For the amusement of the laborers some of the talented workers from our ship presented a comedy, “The Poor Xut.” It was justly received with colossal acclaim. In honor of the maiden voyage of the completed ship we entertained the crew and passengers of the Senior ship at the Junior Prom. Battles with foreign vessels were numer- ous and hard fought. A crew consisting of the best fighters from each ship de- fended our reputation and honor. Our ship provided indispensable material which led the way to victory. During the fourth year, led by John Ray, Robert Henoch, Bowen Bowell and Henry Ross we made our ship seaworthy and prepared for the launching. Again we entertained, this time with the Mixer and with the play “Skidding;” we achieved success in both. 1 he Prom presented to us by the Junior ship served as a last farewell. Now we arc ready to set sail on the unmapped sea of life; it is our sincere hope that these last four years have not been in vain, that we shall leave the port a little finer for our having been there, and that the assistance we have at- tempted to give to those, who were not so far advanced as we, is not entirely barren. To our superiors we offer our humble thanks for their generous and unceasing efforts in our behalf. With the aid of our compass we are prepared to weather all storms, and as we sail towards the horizon may we never be forced to lower the lifeboats. Sherry Kreidi.er.
