HIGH SCHOOL CRUISE N A SUNNY DAY in September, 1938, twenty-three smiling Llqfj boys and girls marched up the gang plank of the Good Ship S.J.S. It had been anchored the last of May, and still sat waiting to anchor-aweigh with the new crew. As our pilot we chose Marguerite Durmg and, as her first- mate, Herbert Gillespie. lvlary Lou Laughlin and Robert Dauen- hauer, the next two in rank, helped set the course for the nine months' journey. We had a roaring send off by the Sophomores, which was Freshman initiation. CThey said we couldn't be Fresh- ies unless they initiated us- and we believed them.J However, our Good Ship weathered the storm and it was smooth sailing for the rest of the journey. Then, too, there was a one-act play we put on called Thirty Million. I believe everyone who saw it enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed putting it on. The cast consisted of Mary Lou Laughlin, Jean Elliott, Robert Dauenhauer, Her- bert Gillespie, and Edward Blubaugh. Every once in a while the lifeboats were lowered and the crew took time out for a basketball or a football game. We won some and We lost some. But it was hard work for the team and they should be congratulated. When Father Letko called, All hands on deck! during football season, Robert Dauenhauer, Charles Spies, Herbert Gil- lespie, and Joseph Redenbaugh answered and helped play the first game against the Elwood High Freshman-Sophomore team. Then, after the football season, came time for basketball. Herbert Gillespie, Charles Spies, Joseph Redenbaugh, and Robert Dauenhauer were the only Freshmen on the team. Besides the things mentioned, there was the C.Y.O. Everyone joined its meetings and helped to keep it up in every way possible. lt is a success throughout our diocese because of Bishop Noll's love of youth. After Reception and Commencement Exercises, we cast anchor until time for sailing in September. The same boys and girls reported to the Good Ship in September, but there was one extra. He said his name was Bill Sigward. He hit it off pretty well with the boys and girls. He was selected to set the Good Ship on its merry way. This year was our time to get even with the grade below us fthe Freshmenj And we attempted to do so, but--. The Fresh- men proved to be really green when some did not show up at the -V- T H E J o s E P H I U M Page Tfzuenfy fhree
