SENIOR CLASS HISTORY , On an autumn day of August 31, 1943, eight humble little fresh.- men entered the halls of Willis High School. - Those who enrolled werez' Marvin Kale, Dean Oakes, Betty Wolfe, Ioan Larson, Delores Ross, Don Knudson, Dale Zimmerman, 'and Donovan Johnson. The class officers: Marvin, president, Betty, vice-presidentg Owen Modeland, secretary-treasurer. These eight soon learned, in the first weeks of school, to re+- spect the upperclassmen. On the night of September 21 the freshmen were guests at a party given by the school. However, there was a catch--it was Initiation Night--and these freshmen entertained the student body by acting out the orders of the toastmaster. 'Twas a memorable night, though, and after that school seemed to take on a new light for these .bewildered greennorns. . On October 13 the freshmen had their first social class party. Their sponsor was Mrs. Chapman and the other faculty members were Mr. Crow, Miss Sebelius, and Miss Griffee. Needless to say, that year and in the years following they have taken an active nn rt in the school activities. y In 1944 Betty Wolfe didn't start with us and during the course of the' year Dean Oakes left us, ln the second semester Clair Olsen from Powhattan enrolled, maintaining our class of seven by the end of the year. Our officers were: Ioan, President, Delores, vice. president, Dale, secretary-treasurer- - Our sponsor was Miss Flagler, the Commerce teacher, who is now' Mrs. Charles Dodge.- The other faculty members consisted of MT- CTOW, MTS- MacDonald. and Mrs. Chapman. Mrs. Crow sub- stituted for Mrs. MacDonald, and later on Mrsg Heffelfinger replaced Mrs. Crow. Theclass event of the year was a joint part of sophomores and juniors. When -school started in '45 the class was fewer in number. Clair Olsen enrolled at..Everest, so there remained only six students. The class 'officers were: Dale, President, Don, vice-president, and ,Donovan secretary and treasurer. Preparations began for the play and itwas successfully given on November 16. A few weeks afterwards the juniorfclass were hosts to Mrs. Heffelfinger, our sponsor and Miss Flager-Dodge, our assistant .play director, at a dinner party at the apartment of Miss Flagler. Mr. Hutton was our new principal and Mrs. Chapman was our music teacher

When an important school question arose, the student council met to discuss the problem and straighten it out as Well as possible. The student council was not very busy this year, but whenever needed, it tried to serve the students of the school as well as it could.
