History of the Class of 1920 HE Class ok 11)20 lias almost reached port. The voyage has been long but pleasant, and although there were many dangerous shoals to pass the crew never gave up the ship. We sailed from Freshman Shore as a crew of fourty-one with (Jer- ald Goodman as our Captain, Frank Sheridan as Captain’s Mate. Dor- othy Ahrens secretary, Joe Borhot'eu treasurer, and Mildred West the Mascot. The first year’s voyage was eventful. The ('lass of 'lfl gave us a grand reception, and we returned their hospitality by giving them a marshmal- low and wiener roast on the shores of Phantom Lake. Those of our crew that took leading parts in athletics were Gerald, Wesley Tans. Ralph Schultz, Roy Wanner and Joe Borhofen. Louise Gerity won the silver medal, or second place in the Declamatory Contest. Some of the girls held offices in the L. T. L. Club. Our first stopping place was at Sophomore Harbor where thirteen of our crew disembarked. Joe and Roy went to work for Cncle Sam Co. and they soon boarded a ship for France. After three months of vacation and rest at Sophomore Harbor we were ready to leave port again. We continued our voy- age with a new Skipper, Dorothy Ahrens, and she led us into quiet waters. We entertained the Class of ’21. and in return they gave us a party. Seven mem- bers took part in the High School play and many more helped with the Vaude- ville. Our second stop was at Junior Port. Half the time which seemed inter- minable was finished. New zeal and enthusiasm was shown in all our activities and the Class ok 1920 left the port with her colors, blue and silver, gaily flying at the mast. Three of our, boys. Julius Van Valin. Leo Mitten, and Forrest Jackson, obtained “shore leave” and won First Prize in competing with the other schools of Waukesha County in judging cattle. We entertained the Class of ’19 at a prom in May and at a four course banquet in June. Our Mates gave a play entitled “Green Stockings.” The time passed very quickly and almost before we realized it Senior Haven was in sight, for we were traveling at the rate of 4 studies per year. After a brief stop for repairs the voyage was continued. In less than a year the Class of 1920 would he safely anchored and the crew put on shore at Commencement City. These last months of travel were by far the most de- lightful and profitable days of all. There were only nineteen of the original sailors with the ship; but these were firmly united by bonds of fellowship, cast by four years’ association in work. Each sought to make the last year the best of the long journey. There were numerous reefs to be avoided, but they were passed in safety. The boys helped in athletics. Hazel Lartz was president of the L. T. L., Louise Gerity president of the Literary Society, and Leo Mitten president of the Athletic Association. Soon the balmy and sunny days announced Spring and all knew that the delightful course would soon be run. Some grew saw to think that the Trip was ended, but new duties awaited them and each must go his own way. All felt prepared to live better and more nobly because of the experience, helpful influences and pleasant association that came to the crew of the stately and gallant ship, the Class of 1920. as it made its four years’ cruise. The ship will soon be in dry dock at Alumni. Class colors—Blue and silver. Motto—Honora wait at labor’s ( ate. Class flowers—Blue violet and lillv of the valley. Ruth Sugden, ’20. Page Eleven
