l- H - - - ? CANUSARAGO if - - - - K I History of the Class of 1942 HE class of '42 weighed anchor in September of 1930 with Miss Martha Koons and Miss Esther Keyser CMrs. Carlton Mendenhallj at the helm. Our crew num- bered only 40 when we set sail on the beginning of our long voyage. Our exper- iences this first year were recorded in a paper, The Bee, which contained our first literary efforts. The second leg of our voyage found us nosing into a harbor in the old Grey Building. We took on board as our Skipper, Miss Aura Minsker. During this year we were introduced to the mysteries of mathematics. At the conclusion of this year we -were given a picnic at Frey's Park. For the third part of our voyage, we stowed our duffle and set a course for the present building which had been newly completed. At this point, our ship was cap- tained by Miss Mae Stahl and Miss Jessie Shoemaker. This year, marking the con- solidation of our school systems, we took aboard additional members to our crew. At Easter we had an elaborate Easter Egg Hunt on the school lawn. This year marked our first attempt at dramatics when we participated in a play given for a Parent- Teacher meeting and gave a Christmas Play. During this year we participated in a Health Contest at Montoursville and managed to win first prize. This same year in a May Day parade we were all on a decorated fioat which brought out a health theme. Running with a Trade Wind in the ofiing, we prepared for the fourth year of our cruise. With Miss Martha Berriman CMrs. Max Fryej and Miss Betty Hafer. CMrs. Seth Schochj in the wheelhouse, we rounded out an enjoyable and profitable year with a side cruise to Moan's Park and a picnic. We were captained on the Hfth leg of our voyage by Miss Emily Jane Waltman CMrs. Voneidaj and Miss Althea Brelsford. This year was given a fitting conclusion by having picnics at Van Rensslaer and Trout Pond Parks. As we approached the half-way mark on our voyage, we took aboard as skippers, Miss Mary Ellen Waldron and Mr. Delos Bitler. We made a fitting conclusion to this profitably spent year by having an outing and picnic at Hemlock Manor. For the seventh year on our voyage and entrance into the Sea of Junior High School we were brought into contact with the varied program of Junior High, and the additional activities such as assembly programs and the interesting and mysterious business of changing classes. Under the captainship of Mrs. Rebecca Arthur and Miss Hulda Dimm CMrs. Mark Berkenstockj we put cn a large Easter Assembly with Don Baker as the Easter Bunny. With Miss Fannie Wood CMrs. Rodney Brownj and Miss Bessie Long as skippers we sailed along on this, our eighth year, on the Sea of Education. This year was remembered for the large art and stamp clubs which were organized and for the great interest shown in shopwork by the boys. For the ninth leg of our voyage we took aboard Miss Anna Jean Laubach CMrs. Earl Gehrigj and Mr. Delos Bitler as pilots. This year our crew was further enlarged by the addition of the rural pupils. At the conclusion of this year we received diplomas sig- C173

Our graduation exercise center- ed around the planting of shrubbery about the school, one of the first moves that was made in the way of beautifying our school. Miss Augusta Floyd and Mr. John Yon boarded our ship to take over their du- ties in the wheelhouse for the tenth year of our voyage. Shortly after getting under way we changed pilots when Mr. Carlton Hess took over for Mr. Yon who was forced to leave. Miss Floyd remained with us for another year and we took aboard Mr. Laymon Girven as our other pilot for this next-to-last leg of our voyage. Following the con- clusion of this year we sailed to Rolling Green Park to write finis on this page of our ship's log. As we began filling the last pages of our log-book we took aboard Mr. John Clendenin and Mr. Fred Kistler as our pilots. As interesting side-notes we remember that this year's championship football team was composed largely of seamen from our ship and that three District Champions and one State Champion in wrestling were members of our crew. In December we had an open-house party in Reeder's barn. Later elected as our Admiral, Donald Baker, with Byron Dugan as First Mate: Hannah Jane Reeder as secretary, and James Hitesman as treasurer.
