Senior Class History In September, 1928, one hundred sixteen Immigrants set out for the port of X.T.II.S. On our ship the Captain was Donald Ilusman. Eleanor Myers was First Mate; Fred Pannwitt, Purser, and Lavonne Meinzer, Chief Steward. To help us on our voyage we chose Mrs. Eekhoff and Mr. Myers. We landed for a few days on an island where the Fishing Company (Sophomores) gave us a party. We had a lovely time and, after wishing them good luck, set sail. Our ship was very suddenly caught in a terrible storm (exams). We survived but had lost our course. We again passed the Fishing Company’s island and gave the company a party. Finally, after nine months of hard sailing, we sighted land and landed for a three-months’ rest, which we needed badly. Our second year we took up fur trading. In our post, David Kessinger was President; Lila Cnderwood, Vice President; Martin Kniker, Secretary-Treasurer; and Winifred Hand, Employees’ Advisor. Our board of directors was Miss Pircher and Mr. Schilling. We had a contest to see who could sell the most pelts (annuals). We won third place. The season was good for trapping but we had a terrible Indian attack (exams), which most of our band survived. The Freshman ship landed in our port and we gave them a party. They returned later and gave us one. Warm weather came, so we laid aside our work for a while. The third year we established a colony. Leonard Seletto was Governor; Helen Ruppert, Lieutenant-Governor; Frank Kettelkamp, Secretary-Treasurer; and Lottie Wyld, Burgess. Miss Spelbring, Mrs. Beatty, and Mr. Stumm were council members. We had a terrible winter with many snows (exams). Several of our colonists had to drop out. Spring and fair weather came and we gave a neighboring settlement a banquet. It was hard work but a howling success. The settlers had given us a nice party during the winter. After three months of rest we organized a nation. Elio Tosetti was President; Mildred Cassidy, Vice President; George Spengel, Secretary of the Treasury; Lavonne Meinzer, Speaker of the House; and Fred Pannwitt, Chairman of the Finance Committee. Miss Yackle and Mr. Stumm were the cabinet members. Our nation was progressing nicely when internal troubles (exams) broke out. After this Civil War, peace was again established. We gave our neighboring territory, the Alaskans (Juniors), a party and now all we can look forward to is the banquet they will give us, and our passports (diplomas). After we have received these, we can go out and enter into foreign relations. We hate to leave our country and hope that our later travels may be as happy and successful as these have been.— (l.u.) 19 )J-
