6 TREASURE-TROVE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1930 A crew of bold buccaneers, who had spent eight years sailing on the calm waters of Grade School, saw in the distance the ship “Freshman.” Aim- ing to take possession of the brig, the pirates swooped down on the boat and became its rightful owners. The captain and first mate were Miss Maxine Siebenbaum and Mr. Chester Lybecker. At the fisrt meeting of the pirates they voted that Audrey MacDougall, president; Harold Lamberton, vice- president; Maxine Hewitt, secretary; and Clyde Shuler, treasurer, were to walk the plank. At a combined meeting of all the pirates Audrey Olson and Dick Hillis were chosen to represent the class on the Board of Control. A patriotic program was given by them on Lincoln’s Birthday. The banners of the lavender and gold were becoming famous when a larger and better equipped Schooner sailed into view. The chase began and after nine months on the ship “Freshman” they caught and captured the ves- sel “Sophomore.” Their flags, motto, and courageous crew with famous lead- ers immediately took possession. A new group were to walk the plank on this ship: president Ralph Jacobson; vice-president, Dick Hillis; secretary, Alice Mathey; and treasurer, Don Hillis. The Board of Control was represented by Audrey Olson and Dick Hillis for half the trip and by Anna Bump and Don Hillis the rest of the voyage. Again a program was given by the buccaneers on Lincoln’s Birthday. This trip the leisure time was very profitably spent in athletics for the girls captured the class basketball championship and a number of awards, and the boys won several places on the teams. A smaller but much faster ship was next attacked and as the pirate num- bers were fewer it was the ideal boat. Again they transfered the lavender and gold flags, this time to a brig called “Junior.” The captain was still Miss Maxine Siebenbaum but the office of first mate was changed to Mr. Mahaffey. The officers for the year were: president, Don Hillis; secretary, Audrey Olson; and treasurer, Irene Elwell. The Junior pirates were repre- sented on the Board of Control by Ralph Jacobson, treasurer, and Audrey MacDougall, secretary of the association and Anna Bump and Dick Hillis one semester and Alice Mathey and Allan Borlin the other. The pirates be came merry one night and held a Junior Mixer where the Frosh w'ere in- itiated into the order of High School Students. In the spring, after muc1; work, the pirates gave a Bearcat Banquet in honor of the Class of ’29. The boys and girls that year were the champion class when athletics were con sidered as the boys were the basketball and track champs and The girls wrere far ahead of the others in awards and skill. The exculsive ship “Senior” is theirs now. Their captain is Mrs. M. C. Reardon and the plank was walked by president, Don Hillis; vice-president, Emory Donovan; secretary, Audrey MacDougall; and treasurer. Irene Elwell. The Board of Control was represented from the senior pirates by Allan Borlin. president; Dick Hillis, vice-president; Audrey MacDougall, secretary; Audrey Olson, treasurer; Bob Nelson, manager; and Alice Mathey, Ralph Jacobson and Emory Donovan, representatives. The pirates of ’30 were loyal to their lavender and gold and to the Bear- cat emblem and the Orange and Black of the Confederation of Pirates. Though they manned four ships successfully they also entered in all activities, and have always been known as the peppiest class in High School. “We are strong! We are sturdy! We’re the class of 1930!”
