.Www Whoa Jfmlwy WITH the cry of all aboard, from our conductor, Mr. Baker, and the wave of a hand from the engineer, Mr. Foster, with unconcealed excitement and curiosity we boarded the Freshman Freight, bound for Los Diplomas, Latin America. As our train gathered momentum we found time between the duties of home work and busy weekvends to choose as our head fireman, Ruth Jepson, aided by her efficient crew, Francis Agnetti, Nancy Bushnell, jim Art, and Don Wylie. Our second semester was spent admiring numerous scenic spots in Mexico. Our head guide, Bill Higgins was assisted by his rangers, Don Wylie, Roy jefferies, Don Foster, and Mitzi Baumgarten. Visiting Central America captured our interests during the second lap of our joumey. We stopped to change trains and boarded the Sophomore Zephyr. Our head hreman and his crew gladly tumed over their duties of keeping the interest burning to a new and willing group, Nancy Bushnell, Don Wylie, Dee Simmons, Mitzi Baumgarten, and jolly Cook. The talented students of our class appeared in main-line productions while our athletes provided the upper classmen with strong competition in all sports. Prompted by the native festivities, we originated the Sophomore Mixer. When some one mentioned that we might enjoy a short side-trip to survey the historic Panama Canal, Dirk Sprinkle, Bill Higgins, Ken McLennon, Lois Ager, and Marjorie Milsted chartered a boat and led us safely there. This was not for long, however, for Mr. Baker, anxious that we move on, hurried us back to the station. Once more we made a change, this time for a more rugged train, the junior jirney. Jack Lohuis, Ray McGowan, Ray Hiltabidel, Stuart Rogers, and jolly Cook took over the controls, and then-South America, with its music, art, and colorful customs. Here Jim Art, Ray Hiltabidel, Fred Millet, Jolly Cook, and Don Foreman provided hard competi- tion for native politicians, while Norm Reynolds, Iris Fribrock, and Lois Gilchrist entertained amazed Spaniards with their musical ability. We could hardly believe that we had spent three years so quickly. Days of tests, assemblies, rushing for classes and all the other things that one does when he is with his friends, were almost over, yet our tour still held a round of activities for us. We chose a senior pin, produced a Senior Play, and congratulated Thespians of our own group on a first class performance. We were exceptionally fortunate in having a number of Ftne athletes on board. Dick Sprinkle, Dick Ackenhausen, Ray Hiltabidel, Bill Houghton, Elmer Ramberg, Fred Miller, Valdimar Hansen, Louis Taigen, and Ken Davis, members of the football squad, proudly added a star on their letter sweaters, signifying a victorious football season. Jack Loliuis, Stewart Oberg, Tom Lough, Norm Smith, Bob Due and Nick Avgeres well represented the remaining sports. Time passed quickly, we changed trains, and soon we chose for the last time our leaders, our crew. Fred Miller, Don Wylie, Ray Hiltabidel, Mickey Maloney, and Elinor Geisman were elected ro guide The Senior Streak over the last lap of its ioumey. The reality of the war was brought very near to us when many of our classmates joined the armed forces. In view of their sacrifice, we paused long enough to promote a successful war-bond drive. Finally Los Diplomas, along with the Senior Picnic, Senior day and graduation announcements were in sight, and the concluding month of our joumey found us in a dilemma of gradepoint averages and final tests. Commencement will mark the close of a very important chapter of our lives, but it also means the beginning of a new and interesting adult life. Our success is no longer up to our engineersg it is ours to do with as we may. -DON FOSTER -MARION HANSON COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS-Don Foreman, LEADING HONOR STUDENTS-Mary Joun Mnrquardi.
