' The TUirror SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Jt was on a beautiful day in September, 1924, that twenty young ladies and gentlemen, myself included, started on a four years’ voyage to the Land of (ireater Wisdom. We boarded the good old ship Merrillville High and learned that our captain was Mr. O. K. Appleman and stewardess, Miss Wood, with Miss Zuschnitt as her assistant. W e were very anxious to learn all about the new life and asked many questions which caused us to be the joke of the crew. But one thing we learned was that the “Freshman Sea on which we were sailing was very rough. Soon the waves calmed and we were able to hold down algebra as as well as the more digestible foods. As we entered the “Sophomore Sea we had a change in stewardess, Mrs. Swinford taking the place of Miss Wood. Miss Zuschnitt left us also. Mr. Naylor was added as assistant captain. We all became much interested in a food called biology and being more experienced were able to digest geom- etry without very much trouble. We all sat up and took notice when ancient history was served. As we came to the end of the second year we wondered if we had sailed any nearer to our destination. Some became impatient with the slowness of our voyage and embarked for other ports, but those who stayed by the old ship felt very well repaid when we reached the “Junior Sea. On this part of the voyage a new captain, Mr. Fox. helped us along toward our goal. Mr. Teagle served as assistant captain and Miss Scott as stewardess. Commercial work, a new dish, was served by Mr. Teagle and was greatly relished by all. This year was full of gavety as well as study. We were transferred to a new ship by the same name on the “Senior Sea. Miss Wood again joined us on the last lap of our voyage. Miss England became assistant stewardess. On this new ship we participated in basketball and other sports. A new system of grading was adopted which made us appreciate our work much more. Domestic science, a new dish, made it possible for the crew to get revenge for the many dishes which made us sick during the earlier part of our voyage. rage sixteen 19 2 8
