The more active sailors were Roger Ames. Duvld Cluster, Ernie Jensen, Sigurd Matson. Alonzo Phelps and George 8oteropolis, who won sweaters for their hard work in the Boys' Inter-class Tournament. There were two gala dances held on deck, which caused a lot of excitement, different from that of our regular routine. We sailed slowly onward to Port Sophomore, adding to our list of fame. Ola Partington and Shogo Adachi who received five one's. We dropped anchor at Port Sophomore, hoping to continue our voyage the next September. PORT SOPHOMORE Almost everyone from last year signed the ship's log and we were ready to start our second year of travel through the four ports of Knowledge.

Among our sailors who were in It were Margie McCullagh. Harry Olsen, Maxine Klingla. Dorcas Downs, and Russell Rhodes, as property manager. We gave a gay dance in the fall of the year, and in the spring we had a dance, decorating the ship in blue and white, our class colors, and everybody had a high time. The more serious business on the ship was taken care of by Shogo Adachi who led the honor roll, followed by many other faithful sailors who stood high throughout the year. So ended another voyage toward Knowledge port. PORT JUNIOR A favorable wind blew our way and started us on the third voyage. We decided to have a new Admiral, so Miss Helen Svenson was chosen.

Captain. answered Jean Sargent as she was ap| ointcd to coni| ete in the essay contest. She carried away the trophy. To shorten the trip there was an informal Junior dance at the beginning of the year. Aboard our happy schooner we also had the privilege of having three brave and daring sea-faring athletes: in football, Roger Ames. Sigurd Matson, und James Orrell. In basketball, Sigurd Matson and Roger Ames. We had a smart gob aboard, Delma Hunziker by name, who won honorable mention and was given a gold pin by the Gregg Writer. Our last and most glamorous affair was the Junior Prom. The deck was made to look like a miniature oriental fairy land. On entering, a huge Buddha, sit- ting on an altar, greeted our sight. Swinging lanterns— brightly colored, make-lielieve trees and flowers, and huge snow-capped mountains were placed all around the deck. A horrible looking dragon glared at us through burning red eyes. Gay, snappy melodies came from a pagoda, brightly lighted. The exotic setting helped to make a delightful evening, enjoyed by the entire school. We left to the school a blue canopy used at our Prom, to use at their dances after we were gone. Those attaining the highest rank in our crew were: Margaret Richardson, Bethel Muir, Dorothy Costln. Jean Sargent. Harriet Howser, and Wyoma Cheney, who were chosen to be in the National Honor Society.
