These two were well up on the gossip about their old schoolmates and the conversation, which flitted from person to person and event to event as happy reminiscences do, brought to light the many changes that have taken place since the Class of 1944 bade farewell to, good old .Sandoval High.

Witnesses: Hazel Foltz Evelyn Easton your chance, Juniors! Juanita Rhodes Senior Class History Now that our passage on the good ship S. C. H. S. is drawing to a close, it seems proper that we should give a few facts to our voyage. Early in Sept. of 1932 the ship S. G. S. set forth with banners of green and white, a crew of 25 and Mrs. Jeanne Junkermann as captain. We were sent to the lower deck where we were to re- ceive our first training. In carrying on our var- ious duties we became acquainted with other crew members. After seven years of sailing we were on the top deck. In that year we had a severe ship- wreck caused by fire. Twenty-seven survived. Then came our promotion to' another ship of greater merit. In 1939 the four-decker ship S. C. H. S. set sail under the flag of scarlet and black. We, 71 fresh- men, were all green in regard to the customs prac- ticed on this ship and consequently we were again sent to the lower deck. The officers on this ship were Hazel Foltz, Dorothy Roush, Carl Lutz, Gale Hopkins, and Madeline Hardy. Even though we were ignored by the upper shipmates, we experi- enced many joyous occasions. During this year a ship of Death came along and took one our fel- low members, Elmer Hardekophf. At length after nine mo,nth's training and three month's leave we were promoted to the sophomore deck when our crew decreased to 55. Our officers were Hazel Foltz, Duane Hahn, Juanita Rhodes, Connie Mason, Bob Quick, and Dorothy Jean Cruse. While on the second deck we went through much severe training as our captains gave us hard assignments to be worked out. Bur most of us mastered these duties and were granted another shore leave. When we returned three months later to our watch on third deck, we were known as wise Jun- iors but our number had decreased to 37. The officers were Richard Meyer, Lela Heinzmann, Hazel Foltz, and Daisy Lyons. We began to look upon those of the lower deck as we had been looked upon before. In this year we invited the seniors of the highest deck to dine with us in Holland. Members of other crews came as visitors and entertainers. After this, we were granted shore leaves again. During each of these periods of training we passed many islands. We passed the Isle of Nlatri- mony where some disembarked in order to enjoy life on that isle. We passed several Isles of Busi- ness and never without losing some comrade, who would land and begin life there. Early in Sept. 1943 upon returning from our last three month's leave, we were promoted to the top deck and we were at last Seniors. Our officers this year were Richard Meyer, Hazel Foltz, Agnes Mae Hayes, and Evelyn Easton. Our number had increased to 44, as a few members came from other ships for their fourth deck training. Military ships came and took some of our boys to fight for their country. Now the time is drawing very close when the Seniors will anchor at a magnificient port called Port of Graduation. Ar this port there will be only three who started on this voyage in 1932. They are Mae Gramlick, Hazel Foltz, and Doro- thy Nicolay. Some of us look forward to a more advanced course of training on a larger ship called College, but others will start out on their ship of life work. Now as graduates each one of us has determined to make a success of 1ife. Dorothy June Nicolay. Thirteen
