1943 THE WHIRLWIND 13 Wallis Churchill Welbes Linn Scofield SENIOR CLASS MOTTO: We fight to live or die, so that freedom will live on. CLASS FLOWERS White Rose and Larkspur CLASS COLORS Royal Blue and White eniov Class islovq The present senior class got into the Bulldog spirit when they first entered Albany High School in 1940 as sophomores Our first trip to the ballot box elected Rodney Russell as president of the class. This office was given to Bill Mitchell during our junior year. 1942-43 found us as seniors with Ronald Wallis, president, Dale Churchill, vice-president, Jim Linn, secretary, Alma Scofield, treasurer, Howard Weddle, student council representativeg and John Welbes, adviser. First we undertook the task of giving the lonesome sophomores a hearty welcome. What fun! Then we branched out-two capable girls undertook the editing of the Whirl- wind, and a third fthey say she's humanj took the job of editing the Annual. The sports enthusiasts swarmed to our new coach, Bob Buchanan, with their blossoming talent. The most outstanding all-around athlete proved to be Bud Fortier, who was active in football, basketball, and baseball. Ranking among the football players were Archie Hayes, Lyle lVlacHugh, Leon Simons, Darrell Byers, George Ambrosek, Bud Long, Bob Kelty, and Delmar Boylan. Basketball stars were Bud Long, Leon Simons, Dale Churchill, Pat Koos, Norman Wordehoff, and Bob Kelty. Baseball took Archie Hayes and Bud Long. The Albany High School band won many more honors with its ranks composed of a good part from seniors, the most outstanding of whom were Bill Fisher, Eva Agee, Carlton Eastburn, Ruth Morgan, and Russell Stewart. Inspired by our love of drama, we helped produce several plays. Active in such dramatic productions were Wilbur Senders, Betty French, Stuart Gourley, and Jack Talbott. To represent our knowledge, sixteen seniors became members of the National Honor Society. Now, after being in Albany High School three years, we are walking through the doors for the last time. We are walking into something bigger--something that perhaps when we entered this school, none of us ever dreamed would confront us. We are going out to do our best and, though many of us shall die, we shall go out upon the battlefield unafraid and determined, for we shall remember our class motto of 1943: We fight to live or to die, so that freedom will live on.',
