Ute £0(j We started out on our four-year cruise in September 1941, with approx- imately fifty-five knowledge-thirsty gobs and waves. We were a little in- experienced and shy, but it didn't take long for us to become acquainted thoroughly with our ship from stem to stern. We were assigned to state- rooms one and two, sent two of our crew to Student Council, and were represented by five in the Scholarship Club. A Saint Patrick's Day Dance in March, one of the big events of the year ,was given by us. After a three-month's shore leave the sailing season again was open, and we embarked for Port Sophomore. We sponsored the first social event of the year, a skating party at Madison-on-the-Lake ,which was a great success. Our mates were well represented in indoor and outdoor athletics. We ended our social events for the year with a Patriotic Dance. We knew upon returning for our extended voyage that it was our duty to sponsor a Junior-Senior Prom, so we set to work selling maga- zines at once, and surprised even ourselves by surpassing our goal. We gave a skating party in November and a dance in March, but the most important event was the Prom given for our guests, the Seniors, at the Madison Country Club in May. Coming back for our final stretch of the voyage, we found that there were only thirty of us left to carry on, some of whom left us during the year to help Uncle Sam win the war. We started the year in the right way by giving a Harvest Dance. In April we presented the play Victory Home, which was well attended. During the entire cruise our crew has maintained an unusually high scholastic standing equipping ourselves for useful pursuits on land. On June first we were forced to say Goodbye to the ship and our fellow mates, and received our diplomas, which furnished us a fair chance to start out in the world as we have watched others do before us. Some of us will leave for the service, and others will remain on the home front, but we will all be working toward a co-operative America and a peaceful world. fourteen

Our representatives to Stu- dent Council were Joyce Schmidt, Phyllis Spear, Merritt Nielsen and Peter Gress. The first social event given by us was a dance for the football boys at the end of the fall season. Later we presented a successful per- formance of the play, One Mad Night, a mystery farce which added a nice bouquet to the Juniors' credit. We participated in most school activities, being especially active during the Bond Drives. Also three of our classmates, Jonnie Lahti, Fred Cornell, and Stella Lezak were members of the Scholarship Club. To end the year the Junior-Senior Prom was held at the Madison Country Club, May 1 1. fifteen
