Waukee High School - Warrior Yearbook (Waukee, IA)

The Education Ship started on its first journey bound for Waukee in 1938. At our first stop the captain was Miss Charvat. There were five little waves and six little sailors. The faithful seamen that have gone through all twelve years are Catherine Hanlon, Catherine Jones, Darlene Merical, Hattie Wright, Betty York, Merle Boll, Dick Felt, Royce Gilham, Donnie Lux, Durwin McKinney, and Francis Woodward. They floated through the first year and sailed on to the second. We changed our captains at the second stop when Mrs. Haughtelin came to help steer us. We also drafted four new waves who were Jeannette Baumeister, Frances Clark, Yolanda Ori, and Mafalda Ori. It was time to pull out of port and move on to the third stop where Miss Hood was at the wheel. Jack Williams came on duty to scrub the decks this year. We waved good-by to the third port and headed for the fourth. When we arrived at our fourth port we threw out our anchor and were greeted by our captain, Miss Hertz. At this port we picked up a singer, Kathryn Jamison. We raised our anchor and moved out of port. At our fifth stop Miss Carroll took the wheel and we drafted a nice looking sailor, Dannie Gardiner. With Miss Barnes as the admiral we drifted through our sixth year without making any new acquaintances. Miss Cline steered us through our seventh and eighth years in which Maryellen Faber came on board to be our main cook. Soon afterwards she gained two helpers—Wanda Leach and Richard Kramer. In our ninth year the sea started to get rough for the seamen, but we steered on, as this seemed to be our most exciting year. During our tenth stop we got off our course for awhile and found ourselves on a lost deserted island. On this island we found two natives—Kandy Klingaman and Gene Anderson— who climbed aboard, helped pull up the anchor, and continued through the rest of the journey. Then, in our twelfth year the commander-in-chief, Mr. Lauger, and his associates ended our long journey, and we took leave to steer ourselves through the rest of our lives. CLASS COLORS—Burgandy and White CLASS FLOWER—Carnation CLASS MOTTO—'In Ourselves Our Future Lies.
