C266 All aboard for Senior Land! The Luxury Liner scheduled for four eventful stops had its starting point in 1950 with ninety-three members as its passengers. Ten years earlier, in 1940 however, forty eight members of this group, eager for knowledge and adventure, had launched forth from Kindergarten Land on a small schooner. Six preparatory cruises along the way paved the way for more exacting experiences later. On these, Misses Gibson, Mackley, Crlassford, and Bolster, also Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. Stine acted as guides. Two intermediate stops filled with fun, new skills, and varied adventures were under the guidance of Mrs. Jane and Miss Hildebrandt. It was here that they presented the Alphabet Assembly with Tuey Bartrow acting as Mistress of Ceremonies, that Shirley Schlinkert repres- ented them at their Homecoming Court and that, during another interval of enter- tainment at their Halloween Carnival Leo Westrick was crowned Prince. At this time too they felt the need of ship's officers and chose Leo Westrick as Chief Mate, assisted by Don Fleury as Second Mate. To guard their funds and to keep the ship's log, Mary Jane Crawford was selected. Now they were ready for that first stop at Freshman Land! This proved to be a memorable pause for many reasons. Their passenger list has grown to ninety- three, for a ship named St. Mary's was encountered along the way as well as a few schooners known as Hathaway, Clark, Keves, Wright, Bell, and Big Hand, who had each unloaded a few passengers desiring this more important voyage. Their chief guides were Mrs. Logsdon, Miss Hildebrandt, and Mr. Painter. Harriet Pollex was First Mate, assisted by Second Mate, Bill Path. Keeping track of their funds and writing accounts of activities was Clyde Varty. Yes, new skills were becoming evident and, aside from these, there was time also for fun. They staged the traditional May Dance, which was named Rainbow Rendevous, with Tuey Bartrow acting as general chairman. Tuey also became a cheerleader, and Nancey Mehlberg one of the majorettes. Carroll Bailey won fame by being crowned Princess of their Halloween Carnival. Much of the strange- ness of the new land had worn off following the initiation of the new passengers, and, as they resumed their journey, these carefree voyagers believed the worst of their experiences were over, they were wrong. After many weeks of clear sailing with ship's officers Bob McMain, Bill Path, Barb Linderholm and Bob Groff, and a few jolts and bumps, when encountering rough waters, they reached the second stop, that of Sophomore Land. During this intervale, a few passengers were lost. Under the guidance of Miss Hildebrandt, Mrs. Logsdon and Mr. Dawson, they enjoyed the Harvest Moon, again a Halloween Carnival, starring Chuck Wolfe and Dick Zimmer in famous boxing matches, also Bob Reynolds and Bob Sargent, Peter Forbes and Jim Williams in exciting wrestling matches. Carroll Bailey and Tuey Bartrow were attendants in the annual Homecoming Court. Yes, these passengers had grown both in stature and in intellect. Much more smooth and happy sailing, with slight dignity, was their approach into Junior Land. Some of their passengers left during this important stop. Chief officers now were First Mate, LeRoy Sturgeong Second Mate, Bill Brandy Secre- tary, Carol Suisse, and Treasurer, Janice Zweng. Guiding them on their edu- cational journey and on several side trips were Mrs. Logsdon, Mr. Dawson and Mr. Burgoyne, with glimpses into Drama Land through Pure as the Driven Snow, starring Marie Wisniesski and Bob McMain3 Pat Van Buskirk and Tom Schwartz: and Dance Land with the beautiful and memorable New Year's Eve J-Hop
