EHS. -Sue and End E - 1924 Senior Class Historq ULAUNCHING THE SHIPH In September, 1920, twenty-one freshmen boarded the good ship Education, in the waters: of Wakarusa High School. After the ship was christened, the following crew was elected: Pilot, Pauline Gore g Assistant Pilot, lnah Miller, Purser, Dorothy Brown, and Captain, Miss Searer. The Tug Faculty then towed the ship out into thc deeper waters of Fame where we came in contact with the Sophomore, Junior and Senior Ships. We struggled for many days to avoid them. The name Freshmen, soon wore off and in due time we showed our colors, blue and gold. In April the Pilot spied in the distance a beautiful island. As we drew nearer we recognized it as the Island of Vacation. After a few days of strenuous effort in com- pleting some work for certain reports we all left the ship expecting to return the follow- ing year to continue our course. The next year we boarded the Sophomore Ship with the addition of Beulah Defur and the loss of one Carl Buzzard, who having received enough of the voyage, boarded the Ship of Labor. The following officers were elected: Pilot, Paul Stropeg Assistant- Pilot, Beulah Defurg Purser, Gladys Shank, and Captain, Miss Byler. About the middle of this year's voyage one crew member, Bernice Miller, was added to our num- ber. Our next year, on the Junior Ship, was a successful one. Richard VVagner with- drew from the membership and Treva Sailors and Bernice Miller disembarked at some port along the way. We organized again. For Pilot, Paul Strope was re-elected, As- sistant-Pilot, Dorothy Brown, Purser, Dove Pletcher and Captain, llflr. Strope. Much was accomplished on this voyage. A Banquet of Success was given to the members on board the Senior Ship. We chose as our Motto: HHe Conquers Who Enduresf' The crew decided upon the Hoosier Beauty Rose as their favorite flower. At last our hearts were joyful, for we too could be called a Senior crew and could poke our oars of Fun and Scorn at the Freshmen following in our path. Devon Huns- berger did not board the ship, but Paul Huber embarked from another port, making the crew of 1924, eighteeen members strong. The following crew members were elect- ed: Pilot, Paul Stropeg Assistant-Piot, Homer Hahn, Purser, Gladys Shank, and Captain, Mr. Strope. After a few weeks voyage the crew met on the Deck of Plans. A large wave of Progress washed fifteen of the crew overboard. The crew left on board put out life- boats. Each one struggled to get into the boats and finally succeeded. They had been adrift four days hungering and thirsting for Knowledge. An Education Magazine of the Voyage was decided to be written by the crew after much controversey. . One member, Pauline Gore, boarded the ship of Marriage, but did not give up casting her lot with us for the rest of the voyage. Later on another, Inah Miller, became very seasick and put in at the port of Frederick. Our Pilot resigned his position and after several days of rough and stormy sailing the crew elected Homer Hahn and Jerald Weaver, Assistant-Pilot. Toward the end of the voyage a play of Experience was ,given and banquets of Triumph were enjoyed. We entered the harbor of Success and the Tug Faculty were on the Pier of Wel- come ready to greet us. Medals of,Bravery were bestowed upon us and we were re- joicing greatlyg truly, now we were ready to embark into the gerater waters-the Waters of the World of Life. KATHRYN METZLER lDake1rusa - - 18
