CR IE 0F THE H0011 HIP 54 In the fall of 1950, after eight years of boot training, 35 male and ll female landlubbers boarded the Good Ship '54, weighed anchor, and started their four-year voyage. While working toward their vacation cruise, they sponsored a movie and a dance. They proved they were good, as well as bad, actors this year when they won the One-Act Play Contest, with their masterpiece, nFoxy Grandman. The leaders on the first leg of the voyage were: Skipper, Mrs. Slkes: Captain, Richard Moose: lst mate, Walt Lauber: Log-keeper, Shirley Clark: and Purser, Leon Smith. In the second year, the walls of the Good Ship '54, resounded to the strains of nShrlmp Boats Are Comlng,u which, these ingenious Shlpmates soon changed to nSophomores Are Comingu. To raise money, two dances were sponsored by the gay crew. HDa1sy Maen and HL1ttle Abnern were featured in the first dance, a leap-year hornpipe. This good ship's company was piloted over the waves by their Skipper, Mrs. Freeman: Captain, Harold Mathis: lst mate, Walt Lauber: Log-keeper, Shirley Clark: and Purser, Leon Smith. The third year found our seasoned mariners far out on the high seas. Ambitious crew that they were, they sold stationery and wax, sponsored both a movie and a dance and produced a lively play entitled, HThe Honeymoon is Overn. The helmsmen who guided the crew on these perilous adventures were: Skipper, Mr. Lewis: Captain, Richard Moose: lst mate, Carol Creamer: Log-keeper, Shirley Clark: and Purser, Leon Smith. This year's voyage was cllmaxed by a day's shore leave at Green Lake. Because of the many storms that raged during the past years, only 28 crew members: 19 male and 9 female, survived to start the last year's voyage. Mr. Grant, the Skipper: walt Lauber, the Captain: Harold Mathis, the lst mate: Shirley Clark, the Log-keeper: and Leon Smith, the Purser, were chosen to chart the course of the final voyage. All the crew pitched ln to give the ship that needed push toward the last port of call--Graduation. They worked up steam by using a booth at the School Fair, the annual magazine campaign, a class play: HPhantom Bells,H a mlnstrel show, and various other activities as fuel. All crew members turned to with a will and the ship found its way through troubled waters to a successful termination of the long cruise. At Easter time the crew enjoyed a long-anticipated vacation cruise to New York City. The docking of the Ship was commemorated by the Commencement Ball. A few days later each Tar stood proudly on top-deck to receive his Honorable Discharge. Before the crew disbanded,each to go his own way, they held one final sh1p's muster at Green Lake. And so the Good Ship '54 now stands deserted in her hidden cove at Westmoreland, never to sail again except when the memories of her crew, shall cause her to again weigh anchor, and again travel over the route which she so gallantly sailed as a unit of the Westmoreland Central Fleet. THA K Mr. Cosselman, who helped us carry out our theme by putting his Mechanical drawing skill to work. Mr. Lewis, who held classes in a hullabaloo of noise so that we could work in the Senior Room.
