BIOGRAPHY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF l9L+l As the school term started in the fall of 1937, a group of soph- omores was beginning a new experience. Surprise! There were no boys to be found in the building. This year marked the beginning of the Girls' Vocational High School. Without the boys around the halls, the classes seemed very quiet. We managed without them very nicely. Suddenly, we were told to move to the top floor of Webster School. Why? The old building was sold and the money received from the trans- action was to be used for the building of a new Vocational School for Girls. Wasn't that grand? Thrilled and excited, we decided to make the most of it after having settled at Webster. 1958! Juniors! How time flies! Of course, we went back to Webster, but we didn't mind. Cooperating with each other, we worked hard. A disappointment came when the school levy failed and a six weeks lay-off meant putting us back in our work. We kept our faith and vowed we would win yet. We did! Shortly after the opening of the New Year, our new school was so nearly completed that we moved in. What a day of rejoicing that was for both students and teachers! We were so proud that this dominated all our conversation. CD0 you blame us?J To have a school for girls was a dream come true. Then came the buzz and excitement of getting settled. Remember? We had our school, but no name for it. After weeks of research, meetings in which every student participated, we named it for Harriet Whitney, a pioneering First Lady of Toledo, Ohio. Alas, June came before we were really used to our new home. Seniors at last! This, our final year was a pleasant one. Although some of the girls were working in part-time cooperative jobs, they found the energy to take part in school activities. Sc far we have managed to get over the hardships with understanding and coopera- tion from both the teachers and Students. May each of us carry the knowledge so-gained into her own life, on the job, and in personal relationships. We, the Senior Class, pioneers of Harriet Whitney Vocational High School are proud to be graduated from this school. 25
