Sail on, 0 UNION, strong and great! Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate! We know what Master laid thy keel, What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast, and sail, and rope, VVhat anvils rang, what hammers beat, In what a forge and what a heat VJ ere shaped the anchors of thy hope! Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears Our faith triumphant o'er our fears, Are all with thee-are all with thee!

These two groups accompanied the Boys' Glee Club to Kelso and Eatonville, besides journeying to Shelton where they won honors competing with similar groups. The entire vocal department performed for the MitlfWinter Concert and Spring Festival, the proceeds of which went toward the purchase of choir robes.

Two jamhorees, one at Centralia, the other at Fife,opened the season for the Tornados. Having won three and lost five games, the end of the season found them holding sixth place in the league. Coach Ray Mahnkey deserves much credit for the good showing the team made this year. Left to Right: 'Top Row---Gaylord Otto. Ray Elliot, Douglas Cameron, R y A derson. Centerflid Thompson. Bob Bates.

The second lap of the voyage was to begin our Sophomore year. We were now well seasoned to the ways of ship life. We presented the Sophomore Hop, winning wide acclaim for its success. We pulled into port for three months, returning to ship as juniors. During this phase of our journey we presented the junior Prom and the junior Play, L'Ghost in the Belfry. Again we returned to port, and took off to sea South by Southeast as Seniors, determined to finish our exodus in a blaze of glory, starting by presenting 'LSpring Fever as our Senior Play, followed by several minor activities, and ending our year by making an enormous success of the Senior Ball. Leaving ship for the last time, We gathered together and found that eleven members of the class, Bob Kosola, Dorothy Hammerschmith, joe Sokolik, Marilyn Brand, Fred Wallin, Donna Story, joe Nicolich, Margaret Vancil, Ed Thompson, Freda Garnett, and Don Ettinger had been sailing on Yelm ships since the first grade. We also found that Joyce Stevenson, Elva Gsborn, Dorothy Hammerschmith, Mildred Marshall, Ramona Kominf ski, Grayce Booth, and Bob Smith were graduating with Torch honors. 'W u euoir . Y Ky?
