SHS Log Jumor Cl ass Log All aboard; the ship is about to sail. Yes, it’s a Rood old ship- it's not the newest- but we like it very much anyway. It certainly has carried us over a lot of waters. By the way, the name of this craft is the “Junior S.H.S. and the passenRers aboard today are the junior class students. The ship is like home to us. We first came aboard in 1940 with a crew of twenty-nine. During the first six years of sailinR we had many new- experiences. We learned to read first of all so that we could understand the sailing charts w ith all of the instructions. Every once in a while we rushed on deck-ready to go home for good—only to be informed of the fact that it was just a fire drill. Next, we were started on the road to smoother sailing by way of arithmetic. Division was the part of it that bothered us the most at the beginning. Now' the tide came between us for awhile. Half of the crew went on hoard the Fourth Flipper and the other half hoarder! the “Second Sailor.” The fourth year of sailing was better. We realized that we were now through with one-quarter of the voyage through the waves of knowledge in the great sea called school. It was this year also that we discov- ered the wonder of ink, not only on paper, but on everything else, too. The fifth and sixth passages were smooth sailing. We organized a Thespian Society, elected a Valentine King and Queen, and studied Greek and Roman myths. In 1946 we came on board the upper deck of the ship which was something new and facinating. This was the seventh passage. We started right off with the hard work of electing the class officers from the crew of twenty-eight. They were Admiral Carol Egen. Vice Admiral Donald McClintock, First Mate- Notetaker Richard Doty and Second Mate Uvonnc Swygman. Our advisor was Commander Stewart. Lieutenants Mary Irene Beach and Admiral Egen served this term on the Student Council. This year included a few more firsts such as going to a dance, going down a fire escape and sign- ing reinstatements and passes. 1947 found us promoted to the eighth grade tinder the guidance of our Commander, Mr. Smith. We also had Admiral Mary Lou Conaty, Vice Admiral Richard Doty. First Mate Carol Egen and Second Mate Donald McClin tock. The Student Council saw our likeness in the form of Lieutenant Mary Irene Beach and Admiral Conaty. Around Christmas time we put out the anchor and became great dramatists by presenting the play. “ I he Christmas Carol. After that we sailed high, wide, and handsome for a few months. Racine was our next port. We anchored there for the annual picnic. With a large and ample crew of sixty-four we set sail in 1948 on our ninth year of voyaging. We had with us Commander Dorothy Jennings, also Admiral Richard Doty, replaced by Admiral Ann Wilson when he moved awa . Vice Admiral Della July. First Mate Marion King and Second Mate Katherine Keefe. Lieutenant Mary Lou Conaty and Admiral Wilson were our representatives on the Student Council. One of the highlights of this year was our freshmen initiation. The waters were rough, but we survived with Queen Janice Hess and King Richard Doty for the dance. 1 he showed our most comical side. This occurred in the fall. After this we sailed on the loose until spring came peeping through the clouds. Then we set our course for N E and anchored at Whitewater State Park to enjoy a picnic. When 1949 came around marking our tenth year at sea we began to feel like old sailors- now that we were known and recognized as upper classmen. Admiral Ronald Miller. Vice Admiral Carol Egen. First Mate Dorothy Allen and Second Mate Richard Doty along with Commander Judith Adsem guided us on the way. Student Council representatives were Lieutenants Richard Doty. Paul Bittner, and Mary Lou Conaty together with Admiral Miller. This was our year to strike back - it was our big chance. We initiated the freshmen and were hosts of the Initiation Dance. We won’t tell where we raided the money from, but anyway, we were proud of the fact that our ship’s treasury grew fatter and fatter. Not at all like the freshmen who didn’t have any money and the juniors who were always spending it. During the course of this year we threw out the anchor several times for parties, roller-skating and the like. We stopped in at Whitewater State Park for a picnic again. 1950 We are now Juniors, old sailors with sturdy sea-legs, and we have many important tasks ahead of us. First we have Admiral Pearl Rhoten. Vice Admiral Richard Doty, First Mate Betty Ann Greene and Second Mate Paul Bittner, also Commander George Spoo to give us the directions. We have Lieutenants Ronald Miller. Lawrence Zimmerman and Richard Doty together with Admiral Rhoten on the Student Council. In February we were honored to have a Valentine Queen and her attendants from our class. Queen Dorothy Allen reigned over the dance with attendants Mary Lou Conaty, Lavonne Swygman. Varol Egen. Della July, Shirley Johnson, and Betty Ann Greene. Ahead of us lie the Junior class play and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. For the latter we have chosen the theme. “An Old Dutch Scene.” The “Junior S.H.S.” has sailed over the rough and calm waters. We have enjoyed every moment of it and next year we will go through our twelfth and last passage. Then we will set into port and will disem- bark front the ship for good. — 21 —
