CLASS HISTORY On September 3, 16 Freshmen bought tickets for a trip across the ocean of wis- dom on the good ship S. H. S. However. two suddenly found they could not go. We chose Henry Williams captain and Mr. De- Laurenti, ship's physician, to patch our troubles. We had fine sailing for several weeks except for the rougher seas of Eng- lish, Science, Latin and Algebra. The rest of the passengers gave a party for us. They initiated us into ship life properly. Dean Lenz became seasick and wanted to be put ashore so we left him behind. Soon we saw some black clouds on our horizon. They were the storm clouds of exams. Most of us weathered them safely. We encountered several of their storms the worst being the semester exam. Shore leave was granted for 10 days at Christmas time. We all en- joyed ourselves but were glad to get back to the life of the ship once more. Some of the passengers may not weather the storms that we expect in the future but we hope most of us will. The last night abroad ship the youngest passengers gave a party. We invited the ship's officers and each of us brought another passenger. We were half sorry and half glad when we dropped an- chor arid landed. But we will put to sea next year again, so Bon Voyage.

HARMQNICA BAND 1. Lavone Staehli, Dolores Gaddis, Evelyn Ruth Storm, Mae Kull, Fern Reel. It happened on a cloudy day in January. I remember it very distinctly, because it was very cold and there was snow on the ground. At the end of Latin class, Mr. Jackson, our music teacher called five Sophomore girls into the office and announced that he wanted to start a harmonica band. The first song that we played was Home Sweet Home. We progressed rapidly and made our first appearance April 7 at a joint program with the school orchestra and dramatic club. We play popular, old time, and cowboy tunes. We played The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round on the Major Bowes Amateur Hour program at the Parent Teacher's Program and didn't get the ug.0ug,.u Harmonica Band P1120 13 THE REMINISCENCEIV' rr, iw,-1' in li' I t ,ill 'il 1. ii N ,fsq N3 W li M yi, H ii r H slf AWN 18' ll ill . 1 Y1-1' i FS: M, l ll Q08
