CLASS HISTORY Our ship left port in September 1937 for a 12 year cruise. The first year there were five original passengers. They were Paul Brown, Joanne Disbro, Alice McPherson, Ardeth Ross, and Dolores Wheeler, with Miss Tooker as our Captain. We all sailed through the first year very smoothly and then went again to shore to increase our cargo with two new members, Janice Bischoff and Roger Rang. We then sailed for two more years. The only change in these two years was the Captain, Miss Beck. In the fifth year we acquired two new passengers. They were Rolland Eastman and Benjamin Keefer. In this year we also changed Captains. This time it was Mrs. Stockmaster. We had no changes in the sixth year, but had a very confusing time, when we were in Junior High , We had so many Changes of Captains that we will not try to mention their names but we do want to thank them for the good job of piloting they did. In the seventh year, we again docked and three more came aboard, they were .Tohn Minniear, Bonnie Mitchell and Wanieta Mitchell. The next year we got a cable to come ashore and Lester Swaney came on board, but left us in the eighth grade. Now at last, two-thirds of our journey was completed and this year, four 9thJ we had three more join us to make the rest of the journey. They were Lois McC1ish, Richard Moser and Margaret Ann Smith. Then we again had a call to come ashore and take on two other passengers. It was Gaylord Lawrence and Lester Swaney came back. We sailed along then, and perhaps we did have many a stormy day, but they were happy ones too. Now at last, here we are in our last year and we have one last passenger, Mildred Kilgore. So we're at last at our destination in 1949, with a grand total of eighteen surviving passengers. , ll
