Next came the Junior Senior Banquet which we enjoyed with the greatest of pleasure. Then came Baccalauerate which ended our wonderful successful journey. Fol- lowing Baccaluerate in April our Diplo- mas were handed to us by our Superin- tendent Ralph Stanley. The crew spent many enjoyable eve- nings during senior week which brought back memories of our four year journey. This crew of 1940 set the record with the highest number in a crew to ever complete this journey from Rome. Starting our four years with 26, and of course with a few lost and a few res- cued ended up with 24. They are Clif- ford Asher, Rebah Donley, Jean Fox, Morris Frain, Betty Gaby, Robert Gal- land, Sheldon Groh, Thomas Hague, Lor- raine Holsinger, James Jolly, Hubert Leatherman, Donald LeMaster, Thelma Morrison, Mark Munk, Paul Ream, Anna Frances Savoie, Irene Strausberg, Martha Stillinger, and Carney Waldron.

The ship and the 24 gladiators cruised along until No- vember when the crew was decked out with class rings, which encouraged them on their journey. Our next storm was the class play, Campus Quarantine , which sailed over with great success. Our most enjoyable happening so far was the Junior Senior Banquet at Hotel Keenan in Ft. Wayne, which was a great holiday on our voyage. But checking the log on the second se- mester of the 3rd lap we find as quote Juanita Bloom lost on South Sea Is- land , so that leaves the Captain with a crew of 22 ending the 3rd lap. Starting on our 4th and last year which was our most enjoyable and victorious year, our Sponsors were Mr. Smith and Mr. Neely and our Captain Dean McClure. Our log read as quote Helen Becker washed overboard , Rescued from ship- wreck Donna Rimmell Wolcottville, Paul Ream Roanoke, and Morris Frain Wa- waka, which left the Captain and crew of 24. We cruised along nicely until Jan- uary 19, when our crew was decked out in class sweaters of red and grey (our class colors). Then on Feb. 7 our crew had their pictures taken at Ft. Wayne.
