N 'H U-BOAT O. H. S. In the fall of 1936, nineteen inexperienced sailors joined the crew of U-Boat O. H. S., which was under the command of Admiral Mock. Three ensigns were transferred from other elementary ships, namely Ensign Felton from S. S. Indianapolis and Ensigns McDaniel and Stewart from S. S. Castleton. Ensign Stewart was later retransferred to S. S. Castleton. Vice Admiral McLaughlin, who was also new to the U-Boat, was assigned to us as our commanding officer. Crew officers were Rear Admiral Trittipo and Captains Hausafus. Smith, and List. We met the usual criticism and ridicule from the older ensigns, but we bravely attacked our new subjects. We enjoyed several parties in spite of the upper crew's interference. We were glad to sail home for the summer furlough. In 1937, we boarded the U-Boat with more confidence, for we were no longer in the limelight of ridicule from the upper crew. During our long furlough Ensigns Perkins, Harting. and Horton found life easier elsewhere, but our number was raised to sixteen with the appearance of Ensign Phelps, who was transferred from S. S. Technical. Bruce was selected as our Vice Admiral, with Rear Admiral Reynolds and Captains Trittipo. Smith, and McConnell as crew officers. All subjects were attacked with fairly good success, and we had ample time for several enjoyable parties. We were proud to see Rear Admiral Reynolds' name on the Plaque. In 1938, we were destined to be again under the command of Vice Admiral McLaughlin. Ensign Miller was transferred to S. S. Technical during our furlough. As crew officers we chose Rear Admiral Trittipo and Captains Reynolds, Smith, and McDaniel. It being a custom for the ensigns in our rank to give the graduating crew a reception, we set about to make money. Besides selling candy all year, we launched a terrific paper drive, which enabled us to give the upper crew a fine reception at Indiana- polis. We attacked our newest foes, typing and shorthand, vehemently. We were proud to have Ensign Phelps receive the Plaque Award. We ended the season very successfully, though we do believe that there was some sabotage in connection with our candy counter. In 1939, the largest transfer of all took place. Admiral Mock was transferred to S. S. Lawrence, and Admiral Callaway greeted the undecided crew of U-Boat O. H. S. He and Vice Admiral McLaughlin took over the difficult task of sponsoring us. Watson is our Rear Admiral, with Captains Huntley, Smith, and McDaniel. During our furlough Ensigns List and List were transferred to S. S. Advance, and Ensign Fields was transferred to our U-Boat from S. S. Castleton. Our motto is Always lead, never fol- low . Our flower is the Rose, and our colors are Rose and Silver. We took shore leave to attend a party at Rear Admiral Watson's. We also held a blow-out in the torpedo room. with most of the higher-ups attending. We are now scuttling along towards commencement, with Captain Huntley and Admiral Callaway following in a row boat. tNo six-footers allowed on a submarine ll Historians: Hausafus McConnell Reynolds Page srri if

' Harriet Talmadge 7 Pauline Apple X Emily Fields As our class draws nearer our ultimate goal of graduation, we find ourselves smaller and smaller in number. As Juniors, we are nine. We welcomed this year, Emily Fields from Castleton. For a few weeks, Pa- tricia Downtain was with us. What we lack in number, we try to make up in energy, effort, and enthusiasm land, in our own opinion, we succeedll. To all activities, we make contributions-we include band members, basketball players, yell-leaders-Yes, and we are the only class who can boast a 100'? membership of our girls in our newly organized Girl Reserves. As salesmen of magazine subscriptions, Christmas cards, and candy, we have been very successful. Welve also, had our share of fun. December 5, we most thoroughly enjoyed a theatre party given by our sponsor, Mrs. McDaniel, at which we both saw and met in person, Lum and Abner. Our Christmas party at the school building December 15, was a success. As this goes to press, we see many more good times ahead. There's only one worry clouding the horizon-they say we must give the Seniors a reception! Well, we're the ones who can do it!! Page eight
