F GALLOPIN6 GI-IOST Class History The GOOD SHIP '57 set sail with a fair breeze and a crew of forty little mariners, with Mrs. Norton as captain and Mrs. Huse as first mate. Although we have encountered both fair and stormy weather for twelve treacherous years, we have finally reached our destination with sixteen of our original crew. Under the command of Mrs. Norton, We used to gallop around the deck on little brooms while singing a song about a hobby horse. We read the adventures of Dick, Jane and baby Sally and answered to the call of Little Yellow Bird. We sailed along smoothly to the second port and exchanged our captain for Miss Kinville. It is remembered that at times the weather became so rough that she resorted to chewing her glasses so strenuously that the result was broken bows. In this year we threw over our hook and pulled in Patty Battles, Julie Milo, Monte Tabor, Donna Manning, Ronnie Howard and Arthur Boright. Our new captain tried to reform Ronnie Howard of biting his nails by making him wear gloves. Others of us were reformed by the sign BABY boldly written on our backs. It was here that Wanda grieved to the extent of tears over her failure to carve an animal from soap. At port number three, our captain was again exchanged for Mrs. Stokes, who ruled with an iron hand. She kept us posted on world and town affairs as well as drilling the multiplication tables into our little brains. We seemed to remember Ray Hedding getting badly shaken, but not by the rough sea. It was in this catch that we netted Liz Parker and Sam Richards. We continued along to the fourth port where Miss Walbridge took over the helm. This year we pulled Christina Bugbee, Pauline Connolly, and Joseph Johnson aboard. We really learned our geography here and had much fun playing map guessing games. We had a small mutiny aboard this year. It seems that while playing prisoners, base, Carol Dustin's team had captured Sheila. Wanda's team tried to get her back and this brought about a real hairpulling battle. Carol hates to admit that Wanda was very proud of her victory since Carol was a bit larger. We cruised along to the fifth port and took on Mrs. Menard as captain. It was here that Carol Stockfisch joined our crew. We memorized The Barefoot Boy and had our first taste of show business when we presented Johnny Appleseed. In all our glory, we sailed into port six where Miss Marshall was our commander. We were very proud to elect our first class oflicers in this year. They were: president, Larry Monroeg vice-president, Wanda Cox, treasurer, Monte Taborg secretary, Ronnie Howard.
