I THE ELECTRA It was deemed fit at this time to give a play to raise money for the VVashington Trip. which was to be taken at the end of the second lap of the journey, the following Spring. Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Mellon, The Hoodoon was presented. The hardy sailors had as their guests the Sophomlore Islanders. The Freshman sailors again honored their Soph- omore friends by entertaining them at a dinner party. This formally closed the first quarter of the voyage. Not far from land the VVashington Trip peered over the horizon, wor- rying the whole crew. for their wealth was small. A second time the crew's talent was considered, and. under the direction of Miss Mellon and Miss Hart, they presented XVindmills of Holland. The coffers of the ship were filling. but still money was needed, and so a bake sale was held and a Martha VVash- ington supper was served. By the aid of candy sales which were given during the voyage, the goal was reached, and the work-worn crew was happily on the way to VVashington. D. C. i On their return the ship was again anchored. This time along the shores of the junior Cape. These plucky seamen were the First in the history of Springdale High School to reach these shores. john Mazur, Velma Ducoeur and Myrtle Moore were chosen leaders. The ship lifted anchor and sailed from the shore in the bright September weather of 1926. It sailed smoothly over the clear waves. In December the junior dance was held. In the middle of the voyage officers were elected, but changing captains in the middle of the stream did not affect the course, which was as smooth as before. After covering the third lap of the journey the crew put up for the summer months on the Senior Peninsula. The realization of their dreams was but nine months away. For those last short months, Samuel Moyer, Mamie Nauman, and Benton Haas were at the helm. Early in the voyage it was decided that after all our wonderful experi- ences we should publish a book. NVe cherished the fond desire until we realized it. The Electra would take a large sum of money, and under the direction of Miss Isabel Alter, the class again gave a play, The Path Across the Hill. ln December the class forgot their work and worries at a very enjoyable function, the Senior dance. NVith the new year, officers were elected. john Desmone, Mamie Nanman and Benton Haas now took charge of affairs. At last. after four years. we sailed down the home stretch to be rewarded for all our hardships. The time we have longed for so often has come, and all too soon. Our port is near, the goal is won. Wie now embark on life's stormy sea, instructed so that we may guide our livcs accurately, and anchor at last in the peaceful, calm harbor of Success. --Katherine Morgan. ...sus ... v. .,. ...... .J .I sr...
