Seniors Are Ready to Sene SENIOR OFFICERS Betty Wadsworth • • President Gerald Hurley • - Vice President Cora Louise Dodds • • Secretary Mary Leeson.........Treasurer Miss Dean.............Adviser OUR SENIOR YEAR HAS BEEN ONE OF ACTIVITY. We sponsored a Freshman Reception as a substitute for the traditional initiation of freshmen during school time, and bore the financial loss involved. As a means of obtaining money, we sold football pencils and stickers in the fall of 1942 and patriotic pencils in the spring of 1943. We won the P. T. A. prize with a one-hundred per cent membership of mothers and fathers. November 4 was set aside for having graduation pictures taken and was enjoyed by every senior. The class of 1943 furnished some of the star athletes for the football and basketball teams. Many of the various club officers came from the senior class. The Pirates' Log Staff included a number of senior names. Concessions were managed by seniors at the following basketball games: Trotwood Stivers, Miamisburg, and Germantown. Many seniors took part in the operetta, Rose of the Danube, and several had special character parts. On February 3, our class gave a Truth or Consequence assembly as another means of financing the publication of the Piratan. The senior play, entitled Through the Keyhole, was presented March 26. We worked hard in compiling material for the Piratan, and yet we enjoyed every minute of it. We helped to purchase an Honor Roll for West Carrollton men in the Service as our particular gift to West Carrollton High School. We enjoyed the hospitality of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Reception on May 14. The climax of the year's social affairs was our Senior Prom on May 21. To this dance we invited the alumni and other guests. Baccalaureate services were held May 23 with Rev. Richard Smith delivering the sermon. We said good-bye to W. C. H. S. at our commencement exercises on May 27. Rabbi Louis Witt delivered the address. Dodds, Wadsworth, Hurley. Dean. Leeson Page Ten
