THE HI TORY OF THE BR VE how embarrassed they were repeating and acting out nursery rhymes. The iron hands in velvet gloves were wielded by Captain Edwards. A splitting of their ways awaited the young salts of the ship Monroe. Captain Harry Fernan- dez steered the whole jolly crew to Cleveland, where their diet of salt pork was relieved by an excursion to an elegant restaurant. This was their eighth grade class trip. And with this entry I found the first sections of the ships' logs coming to a close. The crews had proved their worth. Withstanding the weather they sailed to their second ship, united as one, working for their common goal. The hazing which was once standard proce- dure for greeting the new shipmates is exchanged for a dignified candlelight ceremony, impressing forever the meaning of Vitality, Integrity, Knowl- edge, Ingenuity, Nobility, Grace, and Sportsman- ship. The tars' representatives are President, Susan Parkomaki, Vice-President, Leonard Ceglie, Sec- retary, Gary Tuttle, and Treasurer, Norma Blood. The accustoming of each with the complicated rigging on deck is accelerated by Captains Hopper and Ingersoll. Captains Carlson and Klepek wrote this entry for the second year: The crew shoved off with a hearty Heave, ho! this year aboard the swift Viking. Chief mate, Frank Sanders, Second mate, Susan Parkomaki, Purser, Richard Nelson, and Yeoman, Barbara Pa- ziorko were elected by the crew. Youthful jollity plays second hornpipe to the pursuit of that elu- sive nymph, Wisdom. Various devices are em- ployed to extract pearls from oysters as the funds are increased. At last, wrote Captain Dawson as the final curtain rang down on It's Great to be Crazy! Ever to be remembered are the miscues, the laughter, clowning and the playing of card games backstage. Nancy Hopkins, Pat Mostello, Nita Kuhn, Leonard Ceglie, Susan Parkomaki, Gary Tuttle, Vonna Thompson, Victor Moisio, Kay Kirk, Bob Paziorko, Clarence Johnson, Lester Bennett, Kenna Mook, Carol Tuttle, and Nancy Blood made up the cast. Barbara Paziorko and Susan Parkomaki were admitted to the National Honor Society in the Junior year. The planning of the class officers President, Susan Parkomaki, Vice-president, Leonard Ceglieg Secretary, Barbara Paziorko: and Treasurer, Nor- ma Blood was aimed at getting the prom started. Hustle, bustle, paint, noise, and the admonition of Captain Lynch to keep the theme secret, accom- panied the juniors. Judy Dickson and Larry Simp- son were crowned in an oriental paradise to the tune of a tinkly tea house with the Tea House of the August Moon as a fitting end to a wonderful journey. Already remorse settles a little in one corner of our memory as the final voyage of the Viking is made with this crew on board. The jollv crew had been first in many things. The first football team had Richard Nelson, Richard Lampi, Francis Thomas, Joe Specht, Clarence Johnson, Garv Evans, Bill Carlson, Robert Diasio, Daniel Szalai, Victor Moisio, and Leonard Ceglie as Seniors on it. Senior Class officers were President, Clarence Johnson, Vice-president, Barbara Paziorko' Sec- retary, S. Parkomaki, Treasurer, Barbara Paullin, The year slips by so swiftly. Invitations, cards, and caps and gowns have been ordered. The Sen- ior play Onions In the Stew with Susan Parko- maki, Victor Moisio, Connie Leavers, Kay Kirk, Joe Specht, Richard Nelson, Gary Tuttle, Richard Towne, Judy Hunt, Janet Hicks, Nita Kuhn, Carol Tuttle, Joy Kesatie, Beckie Gray, Bonnie Law, John Bennett, Charles Stump, June Walford, Gary Evans, Brenda Mooney, Kenna Mook, Nancy Blood, Mary Baird, Francis Thomas was a huge success. Barbara Paullin, and Daniel Szalai were new members to the National Honor Society. Joy Kesatie and Kenna Mook had cheered the rovers through their four years on board the Vik- ing. Where to go for that brief excursion? It must be a perfect end to our high school years. Farewell to all the brief ventures, the hi-jinks on the high seas, with this sturdy vessel. We set out on a larger sea that encompasses our whole life. A firm foundation has been laid by our sen- ior advisors, Captains Kitchen and Weir. The sun was setting when I finally finished reading the log. I called to a boy who was wan- dering along the beach to help me carry the chest and log back to the hotel. I had really found a treasure for the log would remind me of days long past.
