 Tke Class of 1931 In 1928 Miss Hankins sailed across from Hastings to Wauneta where the Sophomores elected her as class sponsor. Miss Doris Kitt was elected president of the class of ’31 by a majority of votes. Charlie Jones was elected vice president of the Sophomore party on a wet ticket, which he had in his pocket when he played hookey and went swimming. Miss Marita Robertson was elected treasurer of the war department and now collects funds for the political sessions. The class put on a stunt to enlarge funds for the war department and the class had their pictures taken which also helped, both as an advertisement for president and to support the public welfare. During the first half of the presidential session the Class had three social events. The first one was a party given by the Sophomores at which they honored the class of ’32 as their guests. Next, the class of ’29 honored us with a political party. Last, but not least, the Sophomores had another party, but there were few congressmen present. At the party, the first crusade broke out between the class of ’31 and some of the members of the classes of ’30, ’32, and ’29. The victory was undecided. » ,. ■■ . Page Twenty

Junior (Jlass History The year 1927 found 38 bashful green freshmen starting in a new sphere of life, Of learning the do’s and don’ts of High School strife. Grinning sheepishly at things taking place, Each Greeny running for the highest in the race; Loud warnings and stately talks rang in our ears, Increasing from day to day our momentous fears, Yet we were all in the same heaving boat— A roaring spectacle of “The Goat.” Another added worry was Algebra with its X’s and Z’s It’s a wonder we existed at all, but Gee Knowing three more grades yet to come, We had to prepare for the worst, and then some. Then to the Sophomore class of ’28: Rejoicing in the fact that we were now upper classmen instead of Freshmen bait. We had now regained our full store of pep Ready with others to keep in step. Prof, tried to teach us Geometry, But circles, squares and hypothesis were beyond our average reach. While Travis knew his old King Tuts and Henry VIII’s in History, Yet we knew this was all in vain for him to try to teach. That year to our class was added three: Alvina, Ethel and Ikey, And each in his own way has done his part, To give our present .lunior Class its start. And now proceeds the Junior Class of ’29: We hope we have somewhat progressed in two years time, Ed has proven his ability in the English field, In his “Correct Pronunciation” we all must yield. Now there is “Sheik” as the Romeo of our class And Melva whose baby talk is hard to surpass, Ikey whose great attraction for thumb tacks and pins Produces from us a great many grins; Skinney is the champion floorwalker and Amos our Poet Laureate, Lester has long ago chosen his profession a banker, you bet! To the girls we leave the art of chewing gum, And their well known ability to make things hum, All we lack is a famous movie star— Nevertheless we believe we are above par So lets pull together Junior Class and see. If Seniors next year we all can be. Page Nineteen

When the morning of September 3, 1928 dawned bright and clear there budded forth the Class of 1932, a class of fair maids and noble young men the like of which as to ability (we hope) never before had been excelled in the nursery of Wauneta High There were beautiful house plants, sturdy and giant oaks, and even promising peaches and pears. The bright sunlit faces of their instructors and the gentle showers of knowledge and reproof, given from day to day soon developed the many rare possibilities of leaf, flower, and fruit. To-day the class stands unshaken by the giant evils (examinations) and unmoved by angry threats of professors As soon as the budding had taken place and the blossoms were peeping through, these tender plants gathered together for the purpose of choosing their officers for the class. Neva Cocklin was among the lucky ones and was chosen class president with Kenneth Frasier as vice-president and Kenneth Kitt as treasurer. Several feeds and parties were enjoyed by the Freshmen class during the year under the guiding hand of their sponsor, Miss Munger. After the class of ’32 goes out into the world from old W. H. S. we hope and fully expect that the class will give shade, and protection from the storms of life to the storm tossed way-fai-ers; that the fragrance of their many blossoms will make glad the hearts of the weary; that the beauty of their various fruits and flowers will be out of the quality that will be pleasing to the eyes of the world; and that their fruits will satisfy the needs of the many Freshmen yet to be and may these fruits be of the choicest.
