,S EIAVJCE RECORD M Our four-year flight through the wanderlust of high school has been cem- pleted, nevertheless, it is but one lap on our non-stop flight to perfection. In nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, we made our first voyage toward an island of higher learning. Our good aircraft carrier was captained by Paul Schaumburg with Marian Holmes and Harriet Meyer serving as first and second mates, respectively.' Our admirals of the council were Mary Frame and Arthur Kellerhals. To serve as pilots, we had Mr. Werner and Mr. Bishop. we were well represented in the Junior Frolic as well as on the athletic field. Yes, we had our heroes, leur triumphant moments and yet rarer, tastes of defeat. This was a new adventure for us and we wished to know more about it, Unscathed, and ripened by wisdom and knowledge, we returned to begin our second voyage. A few grappled in vain to keep from falling overboard in their fight for knowledge and then sank into the seag yet, it seemed new midship en were always in evidence. Again our ship was captained by Paul Schaumburg. Our ship's mates were James Pruitt and Bill Wilson. Those ever present ad- mirals of the council were Mary Frame and Earl O'Neal. Mr. Brown and Miss Brainard piloted our good ship through the narrow channels. Wo again, among other events, supported the Junior Frolic whole-hcartodly. Interest in extra- curricular activities increased and many of our crow were found present in these worthwhile organizations. Was it the new title Junior that spurred the crew of our third voyage to revived efforts or was it because we had work to do? Our third trip captain again was Paul Schau burg who Was assisted by Merle Le Sage and Bill Wilson as those over present first and second mates. The industrious admirals were Mary Frame and Arthur Kcllcrhals. Our pilots were Miss Rieglc, Miss Jacobs, and Miss Dittlingor. 'With those pilots who knew where the correct course lay, we staged tho Junior Frolic and produced the accompanying Junior play. Good as this event was, it was only a proludo to the social climax of the year, namely the nJunior-Senior Shuffle.n This was a gala cvont for all Juniors and Seniors and their guests. We worked hard to finance as well as plan this event. The patriotic motif was strikingly in evidence, and a new height of enjoyment was reached in this new historic evening. The advent of the fourth trip of our crew in the fall of u42u focused the thoughts of forty-two Seniors on the nearness of their goal--eventual gradu- ation. A special recognition was given Paul Schaumburg. He had served our ship as captain for three years and now returned for the fourth momentous year. Edwin Janssen and Arthur Kcllerhals were chosen mates. In mentioning admirals, diligent Mary Frame receives credit for serving tho crow for four consecutive years. Arthur Kellorhals was the other admiral. Ho, too, de- serves credit for his service to tho crow. To guido us through the narrow channels of auf last trip, :urine as pilots Miss Butseher and Miss Schneider
