Class History One morning, early in September 1921, on Freshman Green there was much excitement. A great flight was to be made in one of St. Clair High School’s largest cruisers of the air, carrying with it forty-nine precious Freshmen on their way to greater heights. The final gong rang and we were off. No one knew where, but all knew the direction which we were to take. Soon after we had started from Freshman Green we had an election to choose the entertainers for the gatherings which we were to have whenever we wished to discuss our positions and circums- tances. Sidney Steensma was chosen chief, with George Harrison as his assistant. This our first trip was long and hard as we were never sure just where we would land next. At this time some of our passengers decided to leave us so we dropped twenty of our crew at a small landing spot. Now our cruiser with only twenty-nine passengers, started on again from Sopho- more Junction. Mr. Beecher now took the Captainship with Miss Wilson as his assistant. This time Franklin Moore was the unlucky one to be elected class “boss” and Joseph Joachim his assistant. Now we were at the end of this years journey and were going to remain in Juniorburg for a short time to get our cruiser in first class shape in order that it might stand the hard work on the next lap. When we were again ready to start our journey, two of our members failed to report for duty when the transport was ready to leave. At the beginning of this trip, twenty-five members of the entire number were present. Franklin Moore with his assistant Ruth Pelton took head command of this trip. After one more restful vacation, twenty-four of us were ready, as usual, to start our last and most wonderful flight that has ever been heard of in the history of anv cruiser that ever sailed through the air to accomplish such a task as was now before us. Our officers for the trip were again changed and Mr. Misenar and Mrs. Maw had full say of this voyage. This year we were busily engaged in trying to earn money to publish the history of our trip. We gave entertainments at the different places where we stopped. There were many storms but we have successfully finished this trip, only to start on a more dangerous and rougher course, which will take our life time to complete.
