Senior Skip Day The annual Senior Skip Day will be held on May 19, 1939 when the Senior class will visit the city of Cleveland, Ohio. The trip will be rather unusual and exciting for the group as they will leave on one of the Detroit and Cleveland boat lines from Detroit at 11:30 o’clock Thursday evening, May 18, 1939. There are few of us who have ever travelled on a boat. We are to have inside cabins. There will be thr=e people to each cabin. The boat will arrive in Cleveland Friday morning at seven o’clock. Breakfast will be served on the ship. We will wait on the ship, where various types of entertainment may be found, until our bus arrives to take us on an all day tour of Cleveland. We will be furnished with guides and a bus which will be used exclusively by our group. Among those places which the class expects to visit are the steel mills, art museum, little Italy, the docks, airport interesting city parks and the residential. At noon the boat company will buy our lunch at a restaurant in Cleveland or take us back to the boat. At six o’clock the group w;ll be taken back to the boat for dinner. After dinner until sailing, at 11:30, the students can enjoy dancing and other forms of recreation on :he boat. The boat will dock in Detroit at seven o’clock on Saturday morning and breakfast again will be served aboard the ship. After leaving the boat on Saturday, the students plan to visit interesting pla-C2s in Detroit including either the radio station W.W.J. or W.J.R., the Detroi News building, Belle Isle, the Detroit-Canada tunnel, Ambassador Bridge, Ford Rotunda and Greenfield Village. A faculty member and three parents will accompany the group on the trip. As far as has been ascertained all members of the class will go on the trip. At present many of the group are concerned about the question, will we get sea sick? It is expected that the entire trip will be interesting and exciting for the group and they will enjoy the thrills of sailing.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY President Jack Shedd Vice President Jean Blashfield Secretary Treasurer Phyllis Shumway When the Junior class organized, the above officers were elected with the exception of Phyllis Shumway, who took the place of George Wiltze. After a good deal of discussion, the Juniors picked out their rings. Every one is very much pleased with them. The class is quite small, but they presented the play “Mr. Bob” on March 24, 1939 at the Guild Hall. The play was a comedy and was enjoyed by all. The Junior class is well represented in sports and in the Student Council. Two officers and two representatives are on the Student Council. The thirteen Juniors are an active group and we wish them luck in whatever they undertake.
