In the year 1945 we were scheduled for our Freshman voyage with Miss Kuhn as commander in chief. Twenty-four crew members reported for roll call. The new ones on duty were Helen Gremmer, Jordon Holthouse, Arthur Portzer, Erve Sharpless, Gerald Shirey, Elizabeth Springle, Norma Kale and Dora Buurma. Our Sophomore year appeared to be a stormy voyage with seventeen first class sailors on deck doing their regular duty. The commander, Mr. Heisler, while walking through the gallery peered into the radio room and found fifteen ambitious looking yeomen all busily at work typing radio messages. Guess who! Juniors of 1948. This year held many exciting events for the Juniors as we picked our motto, flower and colors. We also had our Junior and Senior Banquet. The U. S. S. New Haven ended its voyage when the thirteen Seniors waved good-bye to their commander, Mr. Heisler and to their many friends and schoolmates. They are now going out into the world on a voyage of their own. Leave was given to: Duane Slessman, Roberta Brill, Earl Bauer, Donald Risner, Iva Jean Stevens, Janice Atyeo, Gerald Shirey, Erve Sharpless, Jordon Holthouse, Dora Buurma, Louise Diehl, Evelyn Newmeyer and Carl DeWitt. 17
