un- fvxxlffd-.fan 0 In January, 1939, two hundred stu- dents entered Washburia High School for the first time. Bewildered, expect- ant, hopeful, yet a little afraid, these two hundred pupils were entering a new and entirely different phase of life. First came grade school in which they learned the fundamentals of schooling. Next, junior high where they acquired new interests, and then high school where they spent their home-room periods in filling out pro- gram cards. Here they tried to fit themselves for a vocation. Of the two hundred January stu- dents, fwo graduated from night school, six from summer school, and fllirzfy-0110 students have been elected to the National Honor Society on the basis of leadership, service, and char- acter. This high school organization corresponds to Phi Beta Kappa in college. Three members were elected to life membership in the Student Councilg life membership is usually restricted to those who have been elected to the Council in the eleventh and twelfth grades successively, however, this year the twelfth-grade members Emmy Lou Hellie, Charles Lindemann, and louise Wfoodhouse were all considered so out- standing that they were given life membership in the Council. This is the first war class Wgishliurn has seen. Many students have already joined the armed forces, and many have gone into defense work. What the future will hold as far as education is concerned is uncertain. The Wahian usually does not have a chance to take many informal shots of the January Seniors, but this year a special effort was made to include them in more features so they can look on the Wahian as their book more than ever before. 0 l.et's face the music 0 Fads-Williams, Sargent, Page, McCaw- ley, Stillwell 0 COI11I11CDCE111CI1I'NT1lfS0ll, Farnquist O Class Play Directorse-Ganley, Miss No- vak, Stromstad 0 Art Wfork--Ladd, Steele 0 Class Play Dress Rehearsal un- 7f1Julff4-.fauqfzd
