The Class History '51 , Twelve years ago September Z, 1939, to be exact, twenty-three shipmates went aboard the schooner, Urbana and entered into the cabin and set forth for the island of Graduation to be reached in '51, The second year at sea we were divided because we were a big crew. Ten pupils re- mained in Miss Smith's cabin while fourteen went into Miss Oliver's cabin. Dean Wilhelm and Bill Lester decided to join our happy crew, dropping back from the third grade. We entered Miss Beck's room in one large group. Several sailors left us to land in different ports. We entered Mary Bammerlin's cabin with twenty-three sailors. Some new faces in- cluded Richard Carver, Raymond Flook, Mary Ellen Smyers, Betty Jo Dowling and Robert Michel, Lost overboard were Melbo Jo Dyson, Jackie Ambers, Carole Lilves and Joe Woodward. We sailed through the fifth grade with the same crew except for picking up Randall Weller. We sailed under the Captain Mrs. Griffiths. We entered the sixth year with the same captain and some new crew members, Kathleen Armstrong and Lorene Prather. We lost Donald Pries who sailed for Wabash and Randall Weller set sail for Noblesville. Mary Ellen Smyers left for Manchester. We then left the bottom deck and went top side to look for shore. While there two sailors landed: Patricia Carr and Andrew Roush. We lost Kathleen Armstrong who left us to go to Kentucky. This left us with twenty-one members but Andrew Roush decided sailing was too rough and he left us during the 7th year out of port, which left us twenty members. Our crew was getting low so we picked up four new members: Delbert Martin, Faith Reynolds, Johnny Stouffer and Lenora Stevens. We lost Robert Michel who decided to sail for his future alone. The sea got so smooth we had to dismiss some of our crew. They were Johnny Stouffer, Delbert Martin, Faith Reynolds and Richard Carver who sailed for different ports and Billy Gahl who decided to take the next ship to Graduation . In our tenth year we started with eighteen members but Paul Kelly and Harold Ware came aboard. This brought our crew up to twenty members. Harold decided to leave us to go to Lancaster Township. Only two years out of port we sighted a large package floating around and decided to haul it overboard to see what it was. Much to our surprise it was our class rings so we would know that in two years we would land on Graduation Island. Getting bored we decided to furnish some entertainment for ourselves. We gave a Minstrel and also a Cantata under the direction of Mr. Weck. At the end of the year Beverly Olmstead and Paul Kelly decided to leave us and so our crew was now down to seventeen. The eleventh year was a very exciting one. We were busy selling concessions at the ball games. Lavon, Lois and Pat were very busy with their job of yell leading. At our achievement banquet, Roger and Bill were given their basketball sweaters with their stripes. On March 31, 1950, we gave a play called The Angell Brats . Our final year abroad we were kept quite busy, putting out the school paper, giving our Senior Play, The Bashful Bachelor , selling magazines, completing the annual, and getting our pictures taken. In about three months we shall enter the port at Graduation Island. On May llth we shall leave on our nine day trip to 'spend a few days in Washington, D.C., New York and then we shall cross the border into Canada before we finally head for home. We should like to thank all of our captains who watched over us during our twelve rough years on the sea and also thank Mr. Dawes and Mrs, Koehler who were our sponsors. 'li
