These resolute adventurers set sail from the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam in four ships-the Nagasaki, the Catherina Jackson, the Maastrom, and the Pieter Floris-to arrive at their destination in Pella. Similarly we fellow seamen lift anchor from the port of Endeavor in our ship, the Duchess,,' to sail for an undetermined destination. We wish to hold before us as our guiding star, the initiative, the. courage, the optimism, and the consecrated faith in God which these first settlers of Pella had. When our voyage ends, may we arrive at a port of Happiness and find it to he a place of refuge. Thus we dedicate the 1948 Pella Duchess. Forward This is the story of an adventure. It is not an adventure like Alice in Wonderland, Robinson Crusoe, or Gulliver's Travels. It is the story of the voyage of the i'Duchess. This is our Logbook. In its entries members of our,crew will read of the outstanding events aboard our ship. As recorded here they will stimulate our memories and furnish opportunity for amusing remi- niscences many years from now. Our journey began September 1, 1947. The purpose of this voyage was to accumulate equipment needed for fuller and happier living. With the Admiralty in charge at the helm, charting the course and guiding the ship, we have, during the succeeding months, proved the seaworthiness of the Duchess Now in May 1948 we hear the long-awaited cry of Land! Land! Eagerly we prepare to disembarlc, an- ticipating the treasures this new land may hold for us. P.

Wormhoudt, John Blommers, R. S. Grundman, Del De Haan. The group which charts the course of the Duchess and thereby sets the pace for all activities of our ship works so quietly its efforts often go unrecognized. However, our smooth sailing can largely be attributed to its guidance. The function of this group is to manage the affairs of the public schools. It is called upon to build a budget, hire admirals, and maintain the equipment on our three ships There are also such matters as collecting tuition, providing bus transportation, supplying textbooks, and doing the one hundred and one other things that contribute to our health and happiness. As president, Dr. H. O. Wormhoudt wields the gavel as his father did before him. Camp, as he is known by his intimates, has served for the last twelve years. Andrew Verploegh, local nurseryman, has the longest record, having been a member for fourteen years. The committee in charge of Teachers and Textbooks is Del De Haan and Will Van Sittert. Transportation is handled by Will Van Sittert and R. S. Grundman. Matters pertaining to Buildings and Grounds are referred to R. S. Grundman and Andrew Verploegh. Finances and Claims are taken care of by Andrew Verploegh, R. S. Grundman, and President Wormhoudt. The many secretarial duties of the Board are handled by John Blommers, while Kenneth Bean is treasurer. Surely the P. H. S. Duchess and the entire community owe a debt of gratitude to these men who have given so freely of their time and talent to see that our Ship of Education presses ever onward. M. V.

October 15-We representative seamen who render assistance to the admiralty held our iirst meeting to commission Mary Jane Menninga, Captaing Artie Ruth Van Wyk, First Mateg Marvin De Heus, Keep- er of the Logg Dick Lautenbach, Dispersing Ofhcer. November 12-This is National Education Week. The seamen and crew stood inspection today when par- ents visited the cabins to chat with the Admiralty. Some of us served as guides. December 17-The noon meeting always attains added importance when there is an extra plate of food be- cause someone is absent. Carl Ver Steeg particularly knows how to dispose of this surplus commodity with little trouble. January 21-Our Keeper of the Log reported on the results of the activity ticlcet survey today. He sent letters to other ships of the fleet and found that P. H. S. offers more events for less money than other schools. However, since such a small percentage talce advantage of the system, we hope to adopt an improved plan. April 14-Today we discussed the representative citizen program. Each class will soon choose its best boy and girl citizen. A committee has been appointed to revise the score card which is the basis for nomina- tion. May 12-We decided to operate the miniature Dutch village in the muscle bending roomv again during this Tulip Time. Guides have been appointed to conduct visitors through the village and answer their questions. M. J.

W if f Commanders September 1-The Commanders shoved off on their fourth and last voyage today. A gay mood pervaded the atmosphere. It was a perfect day to set sail, and the prospects for a happy voyage are in evidence. September 10--We held a business meeting. Our officers were commissioned as follows: Dirk Van Zante, Captaing David Prins, First Mateg La Velma De Penning, Keeper of the Logg Mary Jane Menninga, Dispcrsing Officer. Our flower, the carnation, and the colors, red and white, were chosen. We also selected the motto: The ship is readyg now set the sailsf' Miss Ver I-leul is our Admiral-in-charge. October 6-Nearly every crew member has hnally settled down to his daily routine. Six weeks of the voyage has nearly elapsed. We are wondering what the six weeks' reports will reveal. October 20-Oh, my, all of us are under the shadow of the brig,' ever since the painting of our numerals has appeared in odd places. ' December 18-Today we have been engaged in selecting announcements and name cards. There was a threat of mutiny as several members disagreed on which style should be chosen. The problem has been settled satisfactorily now, however. These an- nouncements will herald the end of our voyage. A January 20-Q-Our ship hit another port today. We were given temporary leave to go to the photographer. There we had our pictures taken for the Logbook. Among the girls the New Lookn seems to prevail. All of our sailor lads were especially hand- some in suits and ties. May 16-The crew assembled for is last devotional period together tonight. Rev. Tunis Prins from Central College delivered the Baccalaureate sermon, which was very fitting and effective. May 20-Our voyage was terminated today with our Commencement Exercises. Dr. H. G. Harmon of Drake University delivered the address. Of course, we wore the tra- ditional caps and gowns. After one of the Admirals straightened Arvan Menninga's cap and tucked under a stray curl, we all appeared on the scene appropriately dig- nified. Now we will separate as each of us embarks on another voyage. G.

Many of us had to view them out of the corner of our eye because we were peddling our wares fcandy bars, apples, and Wimpy-biirgersj at the games. Dashing frantically back to the kitchen for more supplies or protecting our perishables from the drizzling rains which would insist on falling will never be forgotten. December 16-We like watching our finances increase steadily. The setting for our selling activities has changed to the bleachers at the basketball games. The big problem now is searching for the empty pop bottles which play hide and seek among those bleachers. January 22-We'll remember: Beulah, Andy, Norma, Harry, There were times when these did tarry In the halls, on the stairs, Talking over love affairs. April 23-This is why we worked and slaved-to entertain Commanders at the annual banquet. It was worth itl Girls i.n spring formals, fellows in handsome suits, cor- sages of sweet smelling flowers, soft lights, colorful and clever decorations-and, best of all, the thrill that came when you knew that everyone was happy. May 16-It was our responsibility to arrange the flowers for the Baccalaureate Service tonight. Even though, during the voyage, we often felt in competition with the Com- manders, we didn't mind this task. It was our last service to the class. It made us a little sad, yet we were happy to anticipate promotion into their position when another Sepember arrives. T. V. R. 28 's I K.

Miss Slobe is Admiral-in-charge. October 10-Swab that deck thar, ye briny-brinked sea dogs!!! Seamen have buckled down to business by this time and are again used to their everyday duties. October 31-Sailors turned landlubbers tonight. We all hopped aboard two hayracks, the hills to brave instead of the waves. After riding into the country, we enjoyed a wiener roast and played games. Carl Ver Sreeg, aided by Verle Rinehart, told one of the shaggy dog stories. All masqueraded as hoboes, and prizes were given for the uraggediestn costumes. December 24-Cabin 201 had fl gay party this afternoon. We played games like Wmk-'em. The cooks supplied us with grub consisting of Santa Claus cookies and ice cream. Admiral Cannaday gave us cute snow man favors. December 31, 12 P. M., midxiight-We peered through the porthole and saw the little New Year step into this world. January 23-Today in literature class Verle Rinehart had us in stitches. It all came about because of the county tournament here. Since we're taking six weeks of speech, Admiral Cannaday decided we should go to the various rooms and give original pep talks. Verle showed his originality by rolling his pants legs well above the knees, donning an apron, dolfing his red cap, and with mop and wastebasket in tow, he left the room to mop up Attica in the game tonighrf' February 7-We assembled to make plans for a skating party to be held some time soon. March 25-Hooray! Spring vacation sighted off starboard side!! We're bound for a gay time, so ain,t life grand? D. J.

August 28-We assembled on the forward deck and received instructions about where the cabins are located. September 2-We started the first day of our voyage on the Duchess.,' Imagine it, we are actually green nrst year seamen! Commanders seem to be everywhere giving us threats of initiation. Be prepared to face the worst! That's our motto. Vernon Trueblood was carrying a pile of books so high that all we could see was his legs bending beneath the weight. September 9-Hurrah! Saved from our doom! Yes, it was announced today that the School Board ruled to ban initiation. Every first year seaman breathed a huge sigh of relief. We're still busy tying shoestrings, however. Judson Van Rees fooled Gerald Van Houweling! He tied his shoe laces all right-with knots! September 18-The first meeting of the first year seamen was held today. These officers were commissioned: Joe Brummel, Captain, jerry De Prenger, First Mate, Margaret Olcott, Keeper of the Log, Mary Ann Toll, Dispersing Officer. Mrs. Van Vark is our Admiral-in-charge. October 2--Folk dancing, roller skating, and refreshments! What more could one ask for? These were the highlights of the frosh mixer held tonight. Its purpose was to welcome us first year seamen and to celebrate the homecoming activities. December 18-The home economics girls today gave a tea for their mothers. Refreshments were prepared in the cook's gallery. Garments the girls had made were displayed at the party. December 24-A gift exchange was one of the many events of our Christmas party. The activities were held in the muscle-bending room. Clarence Bloodsworth and Bob Van Hal can now boast of the Smile of Beauty. They both received tubes of tooth paste in the grab bag. January 16-Miss Cannaday had try-outs for the all high school play today. We are well represented in the cast. Basketball, football, G.A.A., and glee clusb are other of our interests. February 9-We had a good laugh in science class today. When Mr. Groendyke was ask- ing for examples of inclined planes, one student answered, A hill. When he was asked why, the answer was, Because cars can go up it. Then a bright idea struck Alvin Van Houweling. I-le waved his hand vigorously in the air and then said, A roof! What goes up a roof to make it an inclined plane? asked Mr. Groendyke. Birds,', was the quick reply. M.

The Logbook shows that Admiral Renaud Rysdam and his crew played eight games this season, tying two and losing six. His squad was composed of eleven returning letterrnen and a large number of inexperienced players. The squad was handicapped by several injuries and sicknesses. The Little Dutch showed that they had the material for a fine team' when they held the Knoxville Panthers to 20 points in a game that Knoxville was predicted to win by seven or eight touchdowns. According to the Logbook the following men received rewards at the close of the season: Commanders: David Prins, Harry Koopmans, Arvan Nlenninga, Gerald Van Houweling, Dirk Van Zante, Loren Vander Wert. Third year seamen: Dale Van Wyk, Don Van Wyk, Robert Vander Heiden, Marion Ray, Daryl Walker, Harry Weyers, Andrew Van Berkum. Second year seamen: Dale Vos, Philip Mentink, Glen Borgman.

We have been practicing enthusiastically for our next plunder. If the new suits arrive in time, we will be more inspired to win. November 7- Bangl Ouchl Ugh! We are making sure we'll put up a good fight for any opposing team. Joy Denburger and Ruby Leydens received bloody noses, and Nancy Van Maanen hurt her leg. That shows we're sturdy athletes! December 3-Although we wore our new suits in a game with the seafaring Pantherettes, it was to no avail. The Knoxville pirates plundered our ship.

Jerry De Prenger fPedroj sighed and said, Gee, maybe some day I'll get into it. Dave Prins quickly dampened Pedri's spirits by retorting, If you do, I hope I get my hands on you at initiationlv For those vgho aren't familiar with Letter Club initiations-well-you're lucky. It's worse than walking a gangplank. january 27-Letter sweaters are important on this old ship! We held up the year book picture of the Letter Club so Ray Pope could make a mad dash ashore to get his sweater from the cleaners. That picture just wouldn't look right without Ray in his sweater. M.

December 22-In assembly this morning Admiral Whalley presented music awards. Senior members have all received chevrons and citation cords. Norma Van Dylce was the only one to receive an eagle promotion, because she is the only student who has earned enough points for a letter. January 31-The clarinet and saxophone quartets went to Drake University today to take part in a program there. It seems as though they had a grand time. They ex- perienced lectures, balloons, bubble gum, and becoming sick, lost, and scared. February 9-Tonight was the long awaited concert. Weren't the three blind mice terrific? Alarm clocks and more alarm clocks even furnished musical overtures. Marcll 11-Admiral Whalley is ready to show us another film this morning. Wonder- ful! shouts Ruby Leydens.

January 21-This was the hrst night of the County Basketball Tournament. We came sailing in with shiploads of music between each game. February 6-We had another pep meeting today at one o'cloclc.

They were: 'llsilce a Mighty Eaglef, When Song Is Sweet, and God of Our Fathers. February 19-For Music Assembly today we sang A Desert Song.

Admiral Tysseling found itpa bit difficult to get the tenors interested in The Ski Song, but we hope we will use it for the Christmas program, anyway. December 20-We did very well at the program last night. We were a little flat on one song, but Betty didn't strike the keys to indicate how muchg so we hope the audience wasn't aware of it. January 15- Louise and Marilyn, will you help the tenors? They need extra help for a while. Admiral Tysseling felt as if she should make boys out of two girls-that is, their voices. Now the altos will have to sing more loudly. March 26-We're concentrating on our contest numbers. We just must get a First,' as we did last year. B. R. 54 Hull Monitors September 16-We hall monitors see all, hear all, and know all-before school, at noon, and during classes. Our little black book reveals the names of all hall-roamers. We direct bewildered for bewildering, strangers to their desired destinations. Each admiral appoints two of us to help him regulate traffic on declc. November 8-Today a group of seamen were chattering in front of the lockers. Marvin De Heus arrived on the scene. Let's not be forever talking in the halls. Move along to your class. l Yes, just a minute. No loitering in the halls, so let's move along. Yes, Murphy, and they stroll quiclcly to their classes. December Z4- How many times have Iseen you going down this hall? asks Arf Men- ninga authoritatively. Oh, Atff, says Mary Ann, this is only the third time. Well, move along. January 8- Where's Bruce Buerlcens? I've gotta' see Bruce! exclaims Joy Denburger as she rushes up at full speed. Don't get so excited, Joy, warns a hall monitor. If you see him, send him after me, will you? 'Cause he's got my band jacket, see! March 22-Hall duty inspires many constructive ideas. After wincing each time a col- lision occurred at the southeast corner, Melvin Hugen proposed an intricate combina- tion of full-length mirrors so that one may be warned with whom he is going to col- lide and prepare accordingly.

S. 64 Homecomin October 2-Six bells fseven o'cloclc to youl were sounded as our lookout sighted the 1947 Homecoming Week. Approaching it through the fallen leaves, we saw a huge hon- fire, surrounded by a cheering crowd, and then we cruised past a writhing snake dance. The anchor was dropped at the Legion I-Iall and with much ado we witnessed the. climax of the day-the coronation of Miss Marcie Valster, Homecoming Queen, attended by Miss Gladys Klein and Miss Dolores Swank. October 3-With the coming of a new day, we sailed onward, pausing only to wonder at some strange constructions, festooned with green and white. It was the Home- coming Review, and the crew gave three cheers to the lst year seamen boys for entering the prize-winning float. Then we sailed forth to our destination, arriving in time to witness a scoreless tie of the Pella-Pleasantville contest. The cruise is over now, but many thanks to all seamen who helped make it a successful Homecoming. J. v. V. Gladys Klein Marcie Valster. Queer.

October 9-15-The past week has been a busy one for the third year seamen aboard the Duchess,,' for many of them aspire to be actors or actresses in the production, Out of the Frying Pan, which has been chosen by Admiral Cannaday for entertainment of the ship,s crew. October 16-Many a pair of eyes sparkled with happiness today when the bulletin was read announcing the cast. The play promises to be a lively one with its witty lines and subtle humor. A plot centered about six stage-struck youngsters trying to get an audition with an eccentric play producer has plenty of action and suspense. October 30-Play practice is in full swing. Hours: 7-9, sometimes 7-10, other times 6-9 fdates, you know, . November 15-Hitler, Little Eva, and Mussolini were Melvin, the super-pasrerg Admiral Cannaday, the super-pattern-matcher-on-the-ladder3 and Louise, the super super as- sistant. More than one person was almost accidentally plastered with wallpaper in the attempts of these three fand other assistantsl to put the finishing touches on the scenery. November 19-A great first-nighter performance! Of course, there were a few speeches-. For instance, when Milly said, I hate Boston. I like Boston. Itls so peaceful and restful and horrible! Or when Dolores said, Arthur Kenny presents Dottie Coburn, son of Alfred Coburn. November 20-And this was the big day! Everyone was pacing baclc and forth behind stage, but the nervousness soon vanished and like real troopers each was ready to go on. From the laughter and applause of the audience we're sure this play will stand out among the memories of the 1947-48 trip of the Duchess L. S. 66 iiwhmt not Liifew January 13-16-We always know when try-outs for a play are in progress. Everything else is forgotten. Various seamen, interested in the all-crew play, gathered in Cabin 202. The most earnest ones are scarcely recognizable by the expressions and voice changes they adopt when they attempt to get into character. February 5-We learned tonight that there is more to acting than learning and speaking lines. For example: , Do I have to stay while we go through Act III again? I only have one line to sayin Why, yes, of course. You have to practice that walk! You still don,t have it!', February 11-Using two people to portray one character sometimes causes confusion. Wlien Marcie called, Henry, get on thelstageln both Verle and Leland came dashing on. Marvin fHenry's principal, looked nonplussed-and we couldn't blame him. Imagine having to handle two Henrys! 1 February 18-At 7:55 on the dot we were summoned to be ready for the opening curtain. The preceding hour had been a mad scramble to apply the make-up just so. At the last minute we decided Sally's eyes didn't look rightf' and Milly had to change them. February 19-The play went into action for the second night. Miss Pike did not forget her walk. Bradley did not cause Miss Wheeler to leave out her best lines as he feared he would do. And then there was that unexpected character who' walked across the stage with a broom and a bucket. The janitor-none other than Dirk! Admiral Cannaday herself didn't know he was going to appear. The audience really enjoyed Henry's escapades and the principal's attempts to discipline the young culprit. S. V.

The author is George Cohan. April 5-Another play rehearsal last night. Oh! let's not .forget the cat episode and the exciteinent it caused. We can't forget the rumor of no play at all unless the guilt is confessed. Say, I wonder who really is guilty? April 10-Saturday and a real day of work. Paint, wallpaper, flats, etc. are seen sailing around all day. Ah, but tonight we discover a neat looking stage. April 14-Tonight the final dress rehearsal and poor Mr. Quimby is confined with the flu. What next! April 15-Performance tonight, especially for Junior High. How exciting it was! April 16-Six bells-almost time for the grand performance when the Commanders re- veal their hidden talent. How confusing it was when the actors had to prompt the prompters! There were lots of laughs and all agreed that the performance was grand! April 19-Tonight the entire cast and crew gathered to swab the deck and erase all the traces of Seven Keys to Baldpatef' The climax of the evening, of course, was the food-hamburgers, pop, and potato chips.
