HISTORY OF THE 'FORTY-NINERS' Kathryn McIntosh decided married life would be better than the old grind we had on the wagon traing and much to our sorrow, Bob Armstrong left before the year was over. We were pretty well represented on the gridiron in '46. Two of the outstanding players were Carl Clapham and Bob Smith. Pat Bastian, Jean Allman, JofAnn Burwell, Martha Calland, and Benny Wzitkiiis chanced upon our wagon train as we started our journey through the llth grade. Juanita Arnett decided she liked sunny California better than Ohio. This was to be one of our biggest trips, and Dick Yantis was chosen to help us get through it as best we could. Our class representatives that were leading the cheers were Jerry Shoaf and Marie Miller. We held the first Snow Princess Dance of our history and Jackie Burris of '50 was elected the first Snow Princess of W.H.S. We also gave the everfloved JuniorfSenior Dance. Since we had traveled far and wide under the great open spaces, we had grown to love the stars, so we used them as our Junior-Senior Dance theme, Let's Build a Stairway to the Stars. Inf stead of a regular banquet, a candlelight buffet was served. Earl Koerner made a wonderful Al Jolson for the floor show. In order to remember this trip, we purchased class rings, which we still think are beautiful. Dave Pinkerton decided to take life easy after the Marinesg so he hooked on for the ride. Joan Mark left us to embark on the sea of lnatrimony. fContinued on page 611 HONOR STUDENTS Pictured below are the honor students of '49, By achieving at least an A minus average Richard Yantis, Vivien Fuller, Wayman Lawrence, and Shirley Reeves, have earned the right to this scholastic honor.

JUNIOR CLASS President .... .... S tanley Busic Vice President . . . .... Donald Dutcher SecretaryfTreasurer .. .... Becky Stanfield Social Chairman ......... . . .... Nancy Could For the juniors, the first event of great importance in the year 19484949 was the class play, which proved to be a great success. The Inner Willy , dealing with the trials and tribulations of Willis Willoughby and his innerfself, was directed by Mrs. Lilllian B. Gossett, our excellent and long-suffering dramatics coach. Next came the election of the junior homecoming attendants. After the votes were counted, it was announced to a breathless public that Nancy Gould and Becky Staniield had been chosen. fThey looked lovely-didn't they, boys?j Close on the heels of homecoming, the juniors gave a party. Aided enthusiastically by the three class sponsors, Mrs. Mary Belle Clary, Mr. joseph Ralston, and Mr. Warren Beers, everyone ate, drank, and was merry. One of the biggest events of the year was the JuniorfSenior, held on May 24. The banquet and dance were considered HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL, and everyone had a good time. A vote of thanks is extended to the advisers for helping thc class with the preparations. In addition to these events, the juniors have done themselves proud in music, athletics, and various other fields. At the end of our happy and useful- fwell, at least happyj junior year, we are looking forward to our proposed position as exalted SENIORS OF W.H.S. NANCY VERMILYfK PATRICIA THACKREY Class of '50 20
