Page 19 THE VERSAILLES We chose the red and white flag to float at our mast, a gold ring with a ruby set, and red and white roses for our class flower. Paul Gerlach and Chalmer Hesson, having completed the high school course in three years, graduated last year with the Senior Class. Others who left our vessel this year were: Curtis Baltes, Leroy Carnahan, Eve- lyn Printz, Coral Sebring, William Scheffbuch, Harold Shumaker, Henry Etter and Lawrence Wimmers. With a smaller number, but a determined crew, we began the last lap of our voyage in September, 1929. A few from neighboring ships boosted our number to forty-three. This year we had a new group of directors, with the exception of Mr. Everhart, Miss Kley and Miss Harn; they are: Mr. Elliott, Miss Murphy, Miss Steen, Mr. Rhoades, and Miss Swartz. The following officers aided in conducting the year’s business: George Berry, President; Amelia Simon, Vice-President; Glenys Rhoades, Secretary; Verner Oehrtman, Treasurer. Kenneth Bey and Richard Manning left our crew this year. The class was represented in Dramatic Club, Glee Clubs, Music Organizations, and Athletics. The Senior Class presented the mystery thriller, “Oh Kay!” for their Class Play. Also, an interesting farewell program was given by the Seniors.
