Senior Class Hlslorg The Ship of Education started from port in nineteen twentyfsix, with thirty' one passengers aboard. It was manned by eight instructors, with Mr. Thompson as Captain. Each passenger had as his passport, a grade school diploma. There were several interesting occurrences during this year, among which was a party at the gym and a weiner roast. Our crew started gallantly out on the sea of learning and though we got into difficult straits we arrived at the port of the Sophomore, in nineteen twentyfseven, with a loss of but few passengers. The voyagers were divided into two literary groups, the Orion and the Philadel- phian. The rival factions contested to ascertain which could give the better program. The ship here took on several new classmen and each soon became one of us. As customary we chose one of the personnel to guide us through the year. This sec' ond lap of the voyage took us over a rougher sea, but we kept heart and sailed on, though the effort was great. As a recreation, class day was held. This was during the last week of school, and the Marissa Country Club was the place selected for enjoying the day. We had now finished onefhalf of the ocean trip and hoped that the last part would be as successful as the first. Arriving at the Junior port in nineteen twentyfeight, as upper classmen, we were privileged to select two advisors. To begin the social activities we gave a fare' well party to a member of the class, who was leaving us. During this portion of the voyage we gave two plays, which provided sufficient funds to assure a banquet for the Senior Class. At this banquet we enjoyed a pleasant journey in airplanes. Steeleville was chosen this year as the place to spend class day. After this, we dropped anchor at Seniordom. The passengers who are now Seniors found quite an added responsibility, along with their usual coursehthe publishing of the Papyrus, their Log book. The money required to finance this proposition was acquired by class dues, candy sales, plays, etc. We are now nearing our home port and though we cannot give a complete summary of the Senior year, we feel that our four year voyage has prepared us for the future. We obtained rings and pictures as reminders of our school days, and these we hope to keep always. P-THE EDITORS. f 19 l
