NV. H. S. THE ATIRROR 1927 was wfdtw X Sv ,, t Q y kv Uhr ill 1725111116111 Hiatnrg N September 8, 1926, Westminster lligh School became ac- quainted with the largest freshman class that Father Time has ever introduced to it. These verdant boys and girls were not at all backward. At the end of the tirst day they were entirely at home. They were sliding down the banisters, throwing spit-balls, and making faces at Pop Seitz. The faculty was amazed at the boldness of these obstreperous youths but determined to prepare them for the sophisticated days of Sophomorehood. In order to accomplish this task they ordered a new set of books entitled HTaming NVild Youthfi With the aid of this fine edition, many pounds of common sense, and a one-by-twelve ruler, they soon had the class of 1930 very well under control. By that time the English clubs: Amiei liiterae, K. 0. and P. VV., The Current Event Flub, and The Iiive VVire t'lub, were formed and did much to teach the boys and girls that organization is a big factor in education. Manual training aided the boys to make their gifts and many fond mothers were proud of their daughters because they were able to help bake the holiday cake. f After Uhristrnas the basketball season began and even though the fresh- men did not star on the teams, they were the shining lights on the side lines. Their scout' suits and Latin yells inspired our upper classmen to many ath- letic victories. About the first of March the freshmen began their greatest enterprise of the year. A bazaar was given by the whole High School. A reward was offered for the class that made the most money. This energetic group of freshmen determined to use their excess energy to gain this reward. They set to work to louild a country store, a log cabin, and a mystery house con- taining the Seven NVonders of the XVorld. The country store sold just the things that people need most so its protits were pleasing. The household of the Log Cabin with its guests entertained tive audiences with their melodious voices that had been so well cultivated by their efficient music teacher, Mrs. Casner. 'tThc Seven XVonders of the'VVorld, of course, drew the-mone yfrom the pockets of the curious throng and did its bit toward winning the prize that Mr. Seitz offered them. The trip to the electric plant was the most enjoyable event of all. The girls used roller-skates as a means of conveyance to this place. All year one festive occasion has been looked forward toe-that of the freshman picnic. About the last of May ninety joyful lads and lassies hiked to a near-by woods, cooked their lunch, played their games, and went home too tired to do anything but pity the doggies they had eaten. On June 14, 1927, W. H. S. shut its doors on an entirely different group of boys and girls from those who entered the previous September. For those boisterous people had become gay Sophomores.
