Individual Honors Phyllis Pike, co-captain of ' 36-37 NEWS deck, was award- ed the coveted I ppel Cup at the end of the journey for service to the ship. Because Josephine Bottke assimilated most from the guides ' advice, she is sailing on larger waters at the Uni- versity of Michigan with the help of the thousand dollar Arthur Hill Scholarship. Either Margaret Campbell or Ted Kennedy will travel on the same passport next year. Harold Flack appeared reg- ularly on deck each day for seven years, while Ruth Hinz ' s record covers twelve voyages. Miss Coila Start, German guide, spent her spare time on deck writing poetry. Two of her poems were published dur- ing the trip in the National Anthology Magazine in New York. Jane Remer, editorial writer for the NEWS deck, placed third in the National Scholastic contest with her column on senior personalities. For excellence on the sports deck, for leadership, and for character, Ed Kirstowsky was awarded the Michigan Plaque. Another passenger decorat- ed for predominating In sports, is Virginia Andre, ping pong champion of Saginaw Valley. Don Crane, drum major of the sixty-four musical-minded passengers who formed the band, ranked first among thir- ty-three contestants in the State of Michigan. Lesa Jensch, skating star, left shipboard to take honors In Saginaw Valley skating meets, in the Golden Skates Derby in Detroit, and in Can- ada. Three sea-going senior girls, Doris Benford, Ellen Fleisch- mann and Margaret Campbell were chosen by their fellow companions as rating highest in scholarship, activity, and character. During the voyage Doris left the ship to repre- sent Arthur HIM at the con- vention of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the state meeting at Lansing. Because Elmer P.
