n Air Uf Finality In September when students counted the school weeks that lay ahead, they were disheartened by a number which seemed to approach infinity, but somehow those endless weeks slipped by un- noticed until April and lVlay, when the counting resumed once again. As the weeks dwindled from eight to seven, students became engrossed in try-outs and re- hearsals forthe spring play The Devil's Disciple. Prom committee chairmen rushed from school to the Youth Building with Tahitian decorations, bare- ly noticing in their flurry of excitement that the number of remaining weeks had suddenly de- creased from six to four. The track team came out of hibernation, moving from the boys' gym to Thom Field. Tennis players struggled on the courts as golfers slaved on the fairways. Meanwhile, seniors were busy planning the Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremonies. Very few had time to count the remaining weeks, which by then numbered only two. Soon even few- er students found time to study, since WAHIS- CAN signing parties and graduation affairs had flooded the calendar. With such a whirlwind of activities everyone had a chance to thoroughly enjoy student life. However, by June 10 there wasn't one WHS stu- dent who regretted turning in his text books and calling it a year. Nlemories of games, hops, and exams took a back seat to thoughts of waterskiing, swimming, and relaxing. Char Maas, state Future Teachers president, introduced the featured speaker and national president Dr. Faust at the state convention held in Wausau during the spring. ff' X 'r 4, . sz Q s Q' l an 1 W s 1 'IN NS A .- + fs' 1 F we ,gg . if J ii' , c Seniors walked away from their alma mater to enter a .new life.
