SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Miss Jacqueline Bost Sponsor William Engstrom President. Myrtle Sea verson Vice-President Regina Bunten Secretary-Treasurer William Travis Class Representative Class Motto:—“Impossible is not Americanism’’ Class Flower:—American Beauty Rose Class Colors:—Blue and White Class Mascot:—Antelope The class of ’27. a crew of 56, set out on the Rawlins Raft of Learning, September 6. 1923. with Miss Grace Garey as helsman. The object of t»he voyage was to secure, in four years time, 3 2 pearls required by the contractor, W. H. Coleman. The officers chosen to guide t«he raft for the first time were Irvine Rendle, Kathryn Bennett, Elizabeth Hill, and Eugene Winston. The poor sailors struggled hard to keep their heads above the troubled waters of studies. For a few weeks the crew was terrorised by the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior whales. It was not long, however, before they began to show their sportsmanship, in braving the onslaught of the Sophomore wihales who gave them a hard initiation. To relieve the monotony of sea-life, various talented members of the crew gave plays. With renewed vigor they began to hunt pearls. On June 4, 1924. the crew landed in Sophomore port with eight beautiful pearls from the islands of Algebra. English, Physical Geography, and many others. Once again the crew set sail on the R. H. S. Brig of Knowledge, September 5. 1924. Some of the crew were forced to remain on land in that other duties called them. Some of the valiant crew took up basketball so as to represent their ship among other High School teams. Among those were Bus Rendle, Bill Engstrom, and Eugene Winston. While these members were engrossed in this work, others decided to turn their talent to dramatics and consequently enacted “Julius Caeser”, a burlesque. After encountering many turbulent waters and fierce gales, they arrived in the Junior Port with eight more lustruous pearls, making a total of sixteen. The crew set sail in the year ’25 with Eugene Winston as pilot, Irvine Rendle, captain. Myrtle Seaverson. first mate. Thev had a double purpose this time—to gain more pearls and to place themselves among B. B. teams of the Athletic Ocean. And well did they succeed, for on Nov. 30, 1925, they received a magnificient cup engraved with name of the crew for inter-class tournament. In order to show their good qualities in other respects they turned their thoughts to dramatics. Great applause was received from the world when “The Youngest” was enacted. Football also formed a diversion from the strenuous task of obtaining pearls. Nina Hansen, a member of the crew, set out. with 'Miss Marie Sullivan, in a small raft, and. after considerable difficulty, brought back to the ship a large sea-fish (novice Typewriting.) Social activities were not forgotten for the Senior Crew were entertained successfullv. Home looked good to the weary voyagers and on May 2S, 1926, they reached the Senior Port. On September 6. 1926, the valiant crew set sail on the ship of Higher Knowledge for their last trip. To keep up their brave and valorous record they again won the beautiful inter-class cup. placed themselves among the teams at tournament, which was held on the brig Laramie, and Miss Nina Hansen also added another victory to her crew by capturing the largest deep sea-fish ever known (amateur typing.) “Close Quarters” wa.s presented by the crew before landing once more. At their arrival in the Port of High School Education they were participants in a picnic Later, on May 28, 1927, their contractor, G. C. Bruton, awarded them with a beautiful diploma in payment of their successful voyages and for their thirty-two lus-arous and flawless pearls. FINIS —Frances Sloss
