i' ffffg ' EMP!!! 9 OUR STORYH fconnj Next on the athletic schedule came basketball season. After many exciting games we were ready for the county tournaments. A county championship trophy was added to the collection by our ,lunior boys, while both the girls' teams advanced to the finals. February with Valentine's Day always brings to mind that special one, and the F.H.A. girls entertained their favorite beaux, their fathers, with Daddy-Date Nite. After looking forward to the big occasions of conventions all year, the time finally came. That last-minute packing, song and jokes sessions on the way, and finally there. Making friends, rushing to meetings, the big dance and finally home again, tired but so happy. Members of the Beta Club were off to Little Rock in February, the F.H.A. and J.C.L. to Little Rock in March, and the band members to Hot Springs in April for never-to-be-forgotten convention fun.

Even though the weather was crystal clear, WMHS has a White Christmas. Gifts wrapped in white were brought and placed under the Christmas tree in the gym and later given to the welfare department for the needy families. The halls and home rooms were beautifully dec- orated, and students really had the Christmas spirit as they went to the gym for a program of music by the band and Glee Club, stories by the Speech Club, and re- freshments served by the P.T.A. Last, but not least, was dismissal for the two-week Christmas holiday. All the clubs co-operated with the Student Council to make this year one of the merriest Christmases at WMHS. so :lk Yip Night at the party. Phil Vance directing the band in O Holy
