CLASS HISTORY In September of nineteen hundred and forty-two, there set sail on the 'Sea of Knowledgeu a grand old boat which had weathered many a gale. Upon this occasion she was steered out of the harbor by President, Lucille Dutcher, with the assistance of. Harlo Hanneman, and Jean Lachelt acting as Secretary and Treasurer. Laden with fifty eager voyagers and proudly flying the colors norange and black' we began our Journey for the 'Land of Graduat1on.n The voyage was a long one requiring four years of steady honest toil over a much traveled, but to us, an unknown sea. Now that we are reaching our destination, let me relate to you some of our exciting adventures on that voyage. On NFreshman Isle' we were placed on a diet of hard academic work made palatable only through the help of our instructors. Several of our voyagers found this diet too disagreeable and mutlnied, making it necessary to drop them off as future Robinson Crusoes on Freshmen Isle. we participated in all school activities and thus reached the end of our first year. The continuation of our voyage soon arrived and we again met at the proposed landing place and set sail for an island called 'Sophomore Isle.' The menu was en- tirely changed. Our leaders were Pat Colligan, President, Robert Ross, Vice President and Corinne Reader, Secretary 5 Treasurer. We were well represented in Choir, Band, Basketball, and Forensics. Nevertheless, all worked like one, and the end of our second year found us stronger and better fitted for the remainder of our voyage. The time passed quicklyg once more we met to continue the third year of our voyage and many who had begun with us did not returned, fourteen having gone to unknown seas, with only the strongest and the bravest remaining. Orders were carried out by Robert Ross, President, Pat Colligan, Vice-President, and Jean Lachelt, Secretary a Treasurer. We continued to contribute to the Band, Choir, Basketball squads and Forensics. It was during this year that we were confronted with a social event known as the Junior Prom, Wnlcn accorulng to precedent, nad to oe given. The band supplied us wltn EXCOLLBDV music, decorations were most DB3Ut1fHl, and with our Prom King, Robert Ross, there BSSGMDLGQ a large CPOWQ at this annual event. During our stay at Junior Isle we presented our Class Play, which was more than successful. Thus the end of another year was again at hand and as we look back, the memory of our pleasant events, shall always remain in our minds. Now we come to the most important lap of our voyage. This year our port of entry was Senior Isle, where we were under the guidance of Gordon Luhm, President, Jean Lachelt, Vice-President, and Elaine Thompson, Secretary 6 Treasurer. During this year many entertainments were greatly enjoyed. Long shall we remember the games of

football, In which eight of our voyagers participatedg basketball, with Harlo Hanne- man, Hubert Renner, and Dick Baxter, representing our group on the 'A' squad and sev eral others on the 'B' squad, baseball, in which many of our members participated. we were well represented in Accapella Choir by eleven of our voyagers and eight in Senior Band. We did especially well in forensics, Gordon Luhm, Corinne Reader, Rob- ert Ross, Lucille Dutcher, all receiving 'A' ratings. Now that the four long years have passed and the moment of parting has come, we see the horizon from the stepping stone of Graduation. We see many conquests to be made in the voyage of life. Still let us remember that no matter what may be our vocation in life, we must as in the past, leave no task that we have undertaken, un- done, but each adhere to our class motto 'The door to success is labeled, Push.' Comrades, Adieu.
