Senior Class History In the spring of 1948, a bright, shiny bus unloaded 61 freshmen at the door of Stockton Com- munity High School. Little did they realize what this four year trip was going to bring. The bus driver, Bob Arand, and his assistant, David Murphy, had quite a time keeping order among these thrilled students. Delbert Raab.note keeper, had his book filled to the rim at the end of the first journey. Collecting money for damages was Marie Wingert. The guide who helped keep every one on the move was Mr. O’Dair. Those reporting the wants and needs of their class were Janet Dick and Jim Buske. The second trip was on another bus which wasn’t quite as shiny as the previous one had been. Manie Ellen Spencer was bus driver with an assistant, Don Nagel. Money Collector was Ken Me Peek, and Barb Cahill kept all the notes. This trip proved to be smoother with fewer flat tires. Those doing most of the noise-making were Janet Dick, Barb Cahill, Darlene Downing, and Rae Ann Smith. Mr. James guided us through our second year's journey losing only a few here and there. Of course we picked up some hitch-hikers which evened up the score. Janet Dick and Marie Wingert were the two who reported these small mishaps. The third years journey was much easier on the students because the roads had been graded during the summer. The bus driver, Don Nagel, had a hard time keeping everyone sitting still while the bus was in motion. His assistant, Gene Smith, had to be on the job constantly and Ken McPeek needed three books for his notes becauses they were flying everywhere. Darlene Downing was the one who had to collect funds sufficient to sponsor a prom. Huckleberry Finn came in handy for thisreason, asdid the food which was sold at basketball and football games. Miss Grif- fin was always on hand, and Barb Cahill, Carolyn Isbell, and Marvin Thill were kept busy with reports for the office. The big social event was Hawaiian Sunset . Everyone abandoned the rickety bus to adorn beautiful garments and to ride in carriages to Atwood's Community Center where Hawaiian scenes had taken over. The last journey for 47 of the original 61 was guided by Mr. Lorton and Mrs. Bosma. Gene Smith had risen from Assistant bus driver to bus driver. His assistant was Wayne Wand. Arleeta Stine took notes this year. Of course there weren't as many as usual because the students didn’t believe it necessary to keep records. Doris Hill collected the money from these students and Ken McPeek, Don Nagel, and Darlene Downing reported all the dislikes of the class of'52. One of the mysteries of our class was solved with Arsenic and Old Lace, given in the fall. This helped to finance our last and longest trip of the four years, skip day. The mystery still to be dolved is the future of each student in the class of 1952.
