Wadsworth High School - Whisperer Yearbook (Wadsworth, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1946 volume:

ozewofzb HE history books of the future will no doubt spend many pages relating the events which rocked the World during the past year. It is in the hope of recording for posterity a few events which future historians will probably overlook in their researches into the begin- nings of the atomic age that this book is produced. May this, the 1946 Whisperer, provide a means of preserving some of the happy memories of life at W. H. S. during the school year 1945-46.

Then see how many of these features you can identify. A good student should be so engrossed in what the teacher is explaining that he takes no notice of the teacher's appearance whatsoever.
