QLoaa. dthiohif Attention students, were the first words spoken to us by our pilot, Miss Kail, as we boarded our plane, way back in September of 1945. We were starting our long journey through the United States, when our captain, who was Richard Hartsell, took attendance. There were 17 happy faces counted. As we left the landing field, Arden Hallett punched our ticket for the first time. When we reached New York City, we were all very tired and decided to take a three month vacation. After our vacation, which went very fast, we started on our second lap of the journey. Our new captain, who was Arden Hallett, took attendance and we found out that we had lost two members. George Cleghom had fallen by the way and Kenneth Jackson was serving the Stars and Stripes. Dale Gleckler punched our tickets for Miami, Florida, and we realized our journey was al- ready half over. Miss Penrod, our pilot, announced that we were ready to land at the Miami airport. Every one was suffering from the heat so we decided to take another three month rest by enjoying ourselves on the beach and taking in all the carnivals and fairs. At the end of the three months our new pilot, Mr. Benedict, told us that we were ready to start on our third lap of our journey. Our captain, who was Gary O'Neill, took attendance and found that we had lost two members: Marion Driskell and Clarence Felkey and also found that we had gained two passen- qers who were Jack Leonard and Alice Crowell. Our pilot had set our course for San Francisco, which was a good many miles away. We had to make a stop to refuel so we thought that it would be a good time to give a banquet for the departing Seniors of Lyons High School, as a token of farewell. After the banquet we continued on and arrived in San Francisco early in the soring. The airplane had developed motor trouble and so we decided that this would be a good place to stay for our vacation. In the fall of 1947 our pilot, who was still Mr. Benedict, told us that we were ready for the fourth and final lap of our trip. Our captain, who was Gary O'Ne'll. took attendance and found that we had lost Marjorie Conrad and Sarah Howdyshell. We had gained one member who was Rosemary Schneider. We had set our course for Toledo, Ohio, and over Chicago, the Junior Class of Lyons Hiqh School qave a banquet as a token of farewell to us. When we boarded the plane again, Rene Victor had left us. We landed in Toledo in time for our Commencement exercises. We received our diplomas and finally realized that we were ready to face the world and try to solve life's problems by ourselves.
