THE VOYAGE OP THE CLASS OF 53 In the fall of 1949 we boarded the ship, Freshmen, and started our voyage through the great sea of Lake Stevens High School. We were 59 inexperienced sail- ors. Our Captain was Travis Taylor, 1st mate--Blanche Dake, 2nd mate--Dorothy Ahern, radioman—John Hart, and Navigator--Mrs. Adams. We kept the persons aboard informed of the news and happenings by publishing the Junior Beacon. For the first half of that year's voyage Ann Hein was editor. The second half, Joan Malburg was editor. Some of the things we did were: filled 8 Red Cross baskets for overseas, gave the first Jr. high assembly, and were in charge of campus day for the Jr. High, also the program for campus day. The Homceoming Prince was Bruce Peterson and the Princess was Junie Ames. There were 8 boys who turned out for football and 14 for Jr. High Basketball. After a few storms and sunny days we arrived at our firstport.We boarded the ship, Sophomore. We were a little more experienced in the ways of the sea now. There were 60 passengers aboard. Of these 4 were lettermen and 6 received their first-bar torch pins. The officers of this ship were: Captain—Bob Neatherlin, 1st mate--Don Gentry, 2nd mate--Pat Heath, radioman--John Hart, and Navigator-- Mr. Beeston. Many new students from East Everett came aboard this year. For entertainment we put on a play for an assemble entitled All About Daisy , and held two dances, one at Christmas and the other in May. We sold candy and pom- poms to keep the ships motors running. Homecoming Prince and Princess were Dick Anderson and Dorothy Ahern. When we boarded the good ship, Junior, in 1951 we really thought we knew all about the sea. There were 63 passengers aboard now. Of these 8 were lettermen and 11 were on torch. We were represented in every activity on board. Our of- ficers were: Captain--Don Gentry, 1st mate—Dean Johnson, 2nd mate--Carol Hjort, 3rd mate--Jack Cornish, and Navigator--Mr. Branner. To keep a record of our trav- els, we wrote them in our Viking fleet's annual. We elected Joyce Ford as assis-t- ant editor. Next year she will have gained enough experience to record our voy- ages through the sea of Lake Stevens High School. Our pride and joy was our Jun- ior Prom. We worked har.d and spent many hours preparing for it. The general chairman was Genevieve Taro, and art chairman was Joyce Ford. We christened it Over The Rainbow . 65 couples and 14 stags were present. For the Homecoming game, Gloria Skinner and John Hart were the Princess and Prince. We were now pre- paring for the last cruise of our voyage. As we boarded the famous ship, Senior, we felt a little awed. We were boarding the highest ranking vessel on the sea. We were now 51 strong. A goodly number of passengers to board the ship, Senior. Included in our number were 11 lettermen and 14 torch members. The officers for our final cruise were: Captain- -Bob Baker, 1st mate—Travis Taylor, newly elected, 2nd mate—Dorothy Ahern, 3rd mate—Pauline Stevens, newly elected, radioman--Leland Berg, and Navigator----Mrs. Lundeen. To raise money to keep the ship's engines turning and to publish this an- nual we, as is customary and as is our prerogative, sold popcorn. Gloria Skinner Fom1Hd!™an °f the P°Pcorn sales Our senior play which was called Home Sweet ”i0Jd was presented on January 17. Leading roles were handled by Bruce Peter on, Bob Neatherlin, Ann Hein, Pauline Stevens, and Dorothy Ahern. Genevieve Tonu WkS gene al chairman. Now as we are about to leave our high school years we d°°k back a?!?, e can Sfly that we hope the future will be as bright as the past maybe we 11 Uve our future in a little wiser way because of the experiences of the past. 19
