wo entered the schooner in the fall of 39, we found that Eleanorc Clark, Virginia Hope, Ewell Hunt, Ooral- dine Istatt, Carl McDonald, Irene Stakielon, and Maurice Tompkins were no longer with us. There were throo now passengors on our schooner. They wore Mary Buell, Ray McCarty, and Curtis Smith. This yoar there was much to bo done. Our chief pro- blem was to rai30 monoy to ontertain the senior class. Mr. Tower had taken over the brake and Mi3s Haskell was still at the whip. Wo took time off from our thoughts to hold a wiener roast at Hudson Lake on Septombor 22 Later in the ovoning we returned to tho school house and playod games and danced. Early in October tho groat actors and actresses of tho class were scloctcd and work was begun on tho play, Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roost. This was presented before the pooplc who lived on tho prairies on Friday, November 10. Sinco tho boys and girls of tho surrounding prairies were very fond of rol- lcr skating, tho juniors sponsored two skating partios, ono October 13 and the other March 15. The boys and girls spent their spare time in the spring preparing for that great event, the junior-senior reception. They also planned a dance on April 11 to get tho boys in practico for tho event. When we awoke Thursday morning. May 2, wo found a very gray day awaiting us with cold, rain, and snow. Despito tho woathor, the prom v as a groat suc- cess. It was hold at the Peacock Fountain Inn. In September, 1940, wo started on our last trip to Commencement. Mr. Tower v;as still at the brake and Mr. Post was at the whip. Warron Houston said good-bye and loft our schooner as Rosamond Benjamin joined us for the last lap of our Journey. On the early part of our jour- ney tho froshnon askod to join our company to carry on our past duties, so wo initiated thorn and gave a mixer party in thoir honor. After tho boys on our schooner played basketball with other teams from near by prairies wo gave dances to raise money for our annual. In early March a play was selected and the cast chosen. This play, Professor, How Could You, was presented on April 4 bofore a large audience seated around our campfire. We are now about ready to close the log of our lives on tho prairie 3chooncr. As wo leave our campfire, wo carry with u3 many fond memories of the past four yoars spent in our high school. Although the going has not al- ways been easy, wo feel that our experiences on the perl lous road to Commencement have fitted us for the more hazardous path of life. Wo shall meet our now dangers bravoly and unafraid.
