WA-HWA-HTA-SEE Class History XN the year of '25 a band of young warriors set out on a journey of adventure through the wilds of knowledge to seek and learn, to attain a better knowledge of life. The perils of the first part of the journey were hard and rough for these young warriors, for the upper classmen put them through many trials to test their courage. Guide books were carefully followed and the adventurers began to gain in strength and knowledge. Suddenly the great beast, Algebra, which had kept itself in advance of this little band appeared before them and they were threatened with doom. They were attacked from all sides by Ancient History, English, Latin and Science, but in the face of all these dangers they fought their way through. After nine months of journeying they were safely led into Sophomore Valley under the capable leadership of Marie Webster. And now as our brave band of warriors began their climb out of Sophomore Valley they were suddenly threatened by a great landslide, which almost meant their ruin. They finally managed to crawl over the rocks of Modern History, English, Biology and Latin and at last reached the Junior Forest. They enjoyed the forest and its mysteries so much that they entertained neighboring bands of warriors. A comedy, Step Out Jack. was presented by them. In return the other bands held a great Valentine Fete and Bob and Caroline were gloriously crowned King and Queen. Before resuming their journey the Juniors held a great banquet in honor of the Senior class who attended with all their splendid array. Now they embarked in their canoes and with sturdy strokes paddled swiftly over Senior Lake until they reached Stage Island. Here they gave a very clever play. The New Poor. Every effort was put forth to maintain their splendid record of previous years. They unanimously elected Preston Davis their leader. Mrs. Roberts was chosen sponsor and by her wisdom and ability steered them safely around the treacherous shoals of Senior Lake. During this last year of struggle a storm of Chemistry and Geometry was encountered but soon cleared away. The English Channel was another barrier in their course, but on the 29th of May this brave band of warriors safely landed on the banks of Commencement and each warrior, tried and true, received the Trophy of Victory and was admitted to the Council of Deeper Knowledge and Fame. —Robert Kramer. E2BHB3BB5K9B9C3BBBBBB53B Pojjc Thiity-tico IAAAA WA-H WA-HTA-SEE Class Prophecy Br—r—r! Bang! Br—r—r! Wc were off. ‘Ricky (my old pal. Eleanor Allen) and I were starting out on a trip to Paris in our new hydroplane. Spirit of Haven Hi. Wc called it this because of no other reasons than that our trip was to be one to look up all of our old classmates of '28 in W. H. H. S. and also because we hoped that if we gave it that name it would live up to it and be victorious in everything as our old High School always had been. Wc had been planning this trip for several years and now in May. 19 35—wc were off. We knew where some of our classmates were: Naomi Howard was teaching in a conservatory of music in New York. Marjorie Holt was in charge of the commercial department in W. H. H. S.. and Becky Waldrop was girls' athletic director. Marshall Hampton was head traffic cop in Winter Haven. Juanita Bridges was running a beauty parlor in Winter Haven and her able assistants were Thelma Myers and Anna Beam. A new subdivision. Alfred Heights. which had been opened in Lake Alfred, was being developed by J. C. Cox and William Lawless, and Ardath Robinson was serving as their efficient secretary. We had been following with much interest the account of William Smith’s success in the newspapers. He had become a great lawyer soon after leaving school and was now involved in a case concerning the property of another John D. —the young millionaire— John Der. Two of our old classmates. Eleanor Scofield and Hannah Brogden. were running a fashionable school for girls in Boston. And now—we were to find the rest of our classmates. “Ricky and I were eager to find them and to see what had become of that old class of '28. While in Tampa (wc were to start from there) wc ran into Helen Hogg, who took us out to her lovely home where we spent the day. She was married—and her husband's partner in business happened to be no other person than Howard Young. Wc hated to leave Helen—but we had to go. and the next day we took leave. Our first half of the trip was a lovely one. and when we stopped on Azores Island we were feeling mighty fine. We spent one day there and our day was well spent, for we met several of our class while we were there. It was this way: We had reached there about 7:20 in the morning and to our delight wc found after breakfast that a large steamer had come up. Wc went down to sec it and it was while exploring on the steamer that we found our friends. The captain of the ship proved to be Billy Brogden. and when wc told him of our trip and for whom wc were looking, he said: Well. I can help you out a little. There happens to be a few of those schoolmates of ours on board. Here—I’ll show you. He led the way and we followed until wc came to a tennis court where two young men were playing tennis. There seemed to be something familiar looking about them, but neither Ricky nor I recognized who they were until the game was over and the two players walked over to the captain. To our surprise we found them to be John Jamison and Eclton Scott. They had just come from Paris where they had won fame in playing tennis. You would never guess who the rest on board were—so I'll have to tell you. Preston Davis was coming home from a business trip in Europe, and Maxwell Sands and Donald Boyle were employed as chefs on the boat. George Johnston was one of the sailors. Margaret Haynes happened to be on board also coming home from Paris, where she had spent several months. Wc were glad to meet all these folks but the steamer had to leave and soon after wc started on our way again. at � WA-H WA-HTA SEE Our trip to Paris was one grand success. While there we attended the International Fair, which was being held at this time, and in this way we found several old friends, also. Geraldine Pendleton was thrilling people with her wonderful motorcycle stunts. Bob Underwood was in charge of the American exhibit over there. Robert Kramer with other great architects of the world was exhibiting some of his plans and models. Clara Mac Barksdale's latest novel was being sold there and Sue Lovelace was in charge of the Red Cross movement which was being emphasized during the Fair. Ricky and I spent a week there, a week full of fun and greeting of old friends. We ran across two of our class of 28 one day at the Fair—Louise Pope and Caroline Blanchard—who had come over to see the exhibition and they told us about Marie and Christobel's adorable little antique shop, where we visited them and found them charming among the lovely things in their shop. Before we left of course we had to go shopping and one day while in one of the darling little shops we ran across Jessie Mac Lee—a famous designer of dresses at this time, and Vera Reynolds with her. serving as a model. The only part of the trip we disliked was the time when we had to leave. But we knew we would never find all of our classmates there, so we hopped off for New York. We made record time coming home and were just in time on landing to see Marguerite Marti start out to swim the Atlantic. My gracious! Ricky, what do you s'pose we would have thought when we were kids in High School if we had heard that someone was going to try to swim the Atlantic— whew! Times have changed all right, haven't they?” Ricky didn't answer—she only grabbed my arm. Say. isn't that someone we know? There—over there—that policeman. And sure enough on getting closer we recognized Paul King. We spent several days in New York. One of these days we looked up George Kramer, who was president of a university near there. To our surprise we found he had several of that old class of ours as teachers. Fred Cullison was teaching Math: Tom Binns was the famous football coach. While talking to George he told us that Carrol Woods had written an English book which was being used universally in all the colleges. He told us also of the new worldwide famous moving picture producing house being run by Crosby Gray and Ed Poitras. and of one of their famous actors. Bob McCoy. That night we were surprised again on picking up the newspaper to find the editor to be none other than Sidney Lohman and his assistant editor. Gerald Emry. The next day we did no exploring around for Ricky became quite ill and I phoned for a doctor and will you believe it? It happened to be Frank Davis, a very famous doctor at this time. We told him of our trip and he helped us out by telling us that Ruth Lundberg was his head nurse. When Ricky became well enough to travel we decided to move on to Washington. D. C. Here we checked ofT the last of our list that we were looking for. We found Evelyn Hylton working for the government and she took us one day to the Congressional Library where we found Claire Windsor and Bcrnadine Peters working as librarians. A week later Ricky and I were home telling all about our adventures. What fun we had had! and how' we had enjoyed it all. It gave us something to think and talk about for days to come. It seems queer that they would all have been a success. Ricky said to me one day in thinking of all the class we had seen. And yet. she added, it really isn't so queer when you come to think of it either. A class like that one in a high school like ole W. H. H. S. would just have to be a success, wouldn’t it?” —Cleo Arnold.

I'afje Thirty six WA-HWA-HTA-SEE TZ Class Poem Backward through the evening twilight 7 o the days that are forgotten, I o the unremembered ages. With the firefly IVah-Wah-F aysee We will sing a song of childhood: How we learned the simpler lessons; Learned of every book its secret. Learned to fashion words of beauty, Learned to share our joys and sorrows, Which will help us in the future— Which will guide us through a lifetime. Out of childhood into manhood Now have grown these worthy comrades. We have learned of life its meaning. And its deeper hidden beauty. Full of hope and joy we stand here On the threshold of adventure, And it bids us gaily enter,— Welcome to this happy kingdom, Come and prove that you are worthy, Prove your merit as a comrade. To your friendships e’er be loyal And to trust be always faithful.’’ We are going from our Haven On a long and distant journey. But good friends we leave behind us,— Listen to their words of wisdom. Listen to the truths they tell you, Learn the lessons they can bring you From the land of Life and Learning. Now we ll say farewell forever, Say farewell to our dear Haven, 'Til we meet again at Evening In the glory of the Sunset, In another brighter Haven. —Howard Young.

The Athletic Association The Athletic Association. which lias come to play so great a part in the student activities of our school, showed again this year the vast importance of Its existence. This organization, compost'd of members of the students and faculty, serves many purposes. First of all. it causes the students and faculty to take a greater interest in the athletic activities of the school. Second, it serves as an agency through which the athletic department can work in securing money to carry on the department's different activities. Then there are many other ends that such an association serves which are too numerous to be here mentioned. Although the Athletic Association has been seemingly dormant during most of tile year, to the student body it has accomplished many things. The debt which was over two hundred dollars has. under the prudent management of Coach Raasch. lieen almost entirely cleared away. Then, too. much equipment has been purchased for all the diffcicnt branches of sports. OUR CHEER LEADERS! Pave Fifty three a i WA-H WA-HTA SEE 22. 3 f DAVIc - PAIlErY CAPTAIN MICOr' NEtc ON BINNc ” 1 Football GOACht i Ac Ot The squad this year was composed almost entirely of unexperienced men, there being only two letter men back who were eligible to participate. Ilut Conch ICaascb, through his tireless efforts and thorough knowledge of the game made a team front that bunch of rookies. This was not what could be called a great team, for all the games were not won. The Blue Devils” showed their superiority in playing ability, although not in scoring in such games as with Kissimmee and St. Cloud. In the Kissimmee game the “Blue Devils” were outplayed until about live minutes IsTore the first half ended. A drive was started then that took the ball down Into Kissimmee's territory and when the whistle blew the “Devils ’ had five yards to make and four downs to do it. Such Is luck. The last half of this game was ours. The “under dog” “Devils” came back and reeled off one tlrst down after another, but were not able to eclipse the lead obtained by Kissimmee in the first half although we scored two touchdowns. Page Fifty-Jour GOW-N JAMb ON Q tFfiN ME1VIN The St. Cloud game was another game in which the ••Devils proved themselves superior to their opponents but were not able to put the “elongated sphere” over the Cowboys' goal line. When the schedule had l� een completed the Im� .vs still wanted “action. In accordance to this request a game was scheduled with Ft. Meade. This game was one of the hardest fought games ever staged on the local gridiron. The lx ys that had been ineligible all season were allowed to participate In this game and they certainly “strutted their stuff.” With Kills. Millar. Leich and Hutchinson in the line-up it was a different team on the field that day. Millar and Kills, along with Itert and Shorty, were the star performers of the afternoon. “Kid Ellis surprised everyone with his spectacular playing at end since he had proved himself to be a natural born tackle. The only tragic part of this game was the fact that our star fullback. Millar, broke his leg. HituHaii Page Fifty five WA-HWAHTA- SEE + + 4 K Basket-Ball In tin neighborhood of thirty-five men responded to Coach Haasch's first call for basketball. 'Pills group, composed of veterans and rookies, was not long in showing the coach that he had an abundance of material from which to pick a team. With this thought in mind Coach Kaascli decided to run two teams during the approaching season. One of the most important tilings that prompted such a decision was tile fact that five letter men were Iwick from last year's squad. This idea of having two quintets has proven to Is a most practical one in that it gives more l oys a chance to take part in this popular sport, and too. it keeps the interest running high among the bovs. This season has been a thoroughly successful one for tlie “Blue Devils,” in that they lost only one game and that to St. Cloud. But tills defeat was entirely offset by the thrilling game played here with the “Cowboys” when they went down in defeat before a team that was really playing basket-ball. Not only did the “Blue Devils win all but one scheduled game, but walked away with the coveted “Polk County league cup. The “Blue Devils.” although doped to win the cup. did not have a firm hold on it until the lakeland “Destroyers were defeated a second time. This game, which was played in Lakeland, was the most thrilling contest engaged in by our quintet for some time past. The Blue Devils” were leading by several points at the half but did not allow themselves to think they had the game on “ice.” In the second half the “Destroyers” came back strong with a tendency to make “tluke shots” from most any angle of the floor. But the Blue Devil” machine never once lost Its cool composure but kept playing the neat-passing cool-headed game characteristic of the well-coached team it is. The “Imps did not fare so well, speaking from the standpoint of scores, as did the “Blue Devils. since they won only one of their five scheduled games. Although not winning all their games, this “phantom five” always let their opponents know they were there. This fact is clearly shown since all their games were lost by a small margin.

Of the twelve games we played, we won or tied one-half of them, and our total score shows a 77-point lead over our opponents. We lose both of our centers this year: but the Porter combination and Der as guards, and Alexander ami Shaw as forwards will In with us next year, as well as Miriam Johnston.

Our golfers participated in the Interscholastic Tournament held in Lakeland in January. Although the team did not walk away with all the cups and medals, it made a good showing. Swimming The swimming team made a good showing this year in its few contests. Members of the team participated in the Interscholastic Meet held at Orlando, and made a very favorable showing. Boxing and Wrestling Although there were no official boxing and wrestling teams this year, the school had some gentlemen pugilists who made quite a name for themselves. the star performers of the squared circle being H. P. Bowen, K. O. Hutchinson. Kid Ellis, Half Nelson, and Musclebound Musselwhite. Baseball Owing to the fact that the baseball team had not been organized when this book went to press it does not contain pictures of said team. Another strong team is expected on the diamond this year to make a good record for itself in its several contests.

Home Economics Home Economics is the organized body of knowledge which treats of food, clothing, home nursing, and household management in their physical, economic and social aspects as related to the life and welfare of the individual, the family and the community. To so teach this vocation, one which can be followed in maintaining a home and also a means of livelihood, is the aim of Mrs. W. Ray Martin and Miss Ida Landsden, teachers of Home Economics. Home Economics was introduced into the Winter Haven High School in 1916 with an enrollment of thirty-two girls and eight boys. Classes were also offered to seventh and eighth grades. Home Economics has grown in popularity to the extent that I 27 girls are now receiving instruction in home-making problems. l) ( Pane Seventy three WA-H WA-HTA SEE Manual Training Room V 1‘aue Set cnty four WA H WA HTA SEE aj Manual Arts Manual Arts, as a school subject, has certain objectives common to other subjects. 1.

The three daughters of this home are graduates of an ultra-fashionable girl's school and arc totally ignorant of household duties. When the servants deserted in a body, the family was left in the lurch. But a Russian Grand Duke and three of his fellows—The New Poor—have become stranded in America and have advertised for positions as household servants. The family engages them. Upon their arrival, their royal manners overwhelmed the family, who insist upon treating them as distinguished guests. The girls fall madly in love with the noblemen and the son becomes entranced with the Russian Princess. Servant duties and social functions become hopelessly mixed. In the midst of these complications a picture thief develops. A freak detective investigates, fastens suspicion on the Russians and locks them up in the wood-shed. In order to prove their innocence they are forced to reveal their identity. Pot e Srt'intysix A ar 2 WA-H WA-HTA- SEE isss High School Stunt Night Thrills and surprises were in store on the evening of April 27, for the large and enthusiastic audience that awaited the rising of the curtain for the first High School Stunt Night ever held in Winter Haven. The Senior class sponsored the event and received the hearty co-operation of the entire student body and faculty. Each of the four classes drew lots for its place on the program and presented a clever short play. A prize was awarded the class whose stunt was considered the best. The entire proceeds from the entertainment will be a gift from the class of 28 to its Alma Mater. It is reported that the class is putting forth every effort to buy a gift for the school which is sorely needed: namely, an interior setting for the high school stage. “ The Whole Town s Talking ’ Presented by Junior Class Mr. Simmons, senior partner in a paint business, has a marriageable daughter. For business reasons he wants her to marry the junior partner. Mr. Binney. But the junior partner is the kind of a bachelor no woman likes. He is such a blank, —as Mrs. Simmons puts it— that every time he comes in, it seems that someone has gone out. The senior partner has the idea that every woman would like to get the man whom every other woman wants. Hence he conceives the idea of inventing a few love affairs for his partner. He selects at random from the book shop some photographs of beautiful women, which afterwards prove to be those of the Queen of Rumania, Mona Lisa, and a moving picture star. The star is decided on as the junior partner's latest flame, and at the proper time the story is allowed to leak out. Soon the whole town's talking. All the girls, young and old. fall in love with him, and especially the daughter. In the midst of his glory, the picture star, on a personal tour with one of her pictures, suddenly appears in town, accompanied by her husband, who happens to be a prize fighter. From this point onward there is a series of complications which work up to a climax of whirlwind hilarity. Paf e Seventy-seven WA-HWA-HTA SEE ft ft GRIN JOf GRIN Ml55 MADSON. PAL'S. Pane Seventy eight E WA- H WA4ITA- SEE m Flight of Spirit of ’28 On a moonlight night in April a merry crowd of Juniors and Seniors gathered at Spring Lake Field. It was a very happy and excited throng, because the Juniors were going to take the Seniors on an airplane trip that night, in the specially built model, W. H. H. S., ’28. Everyone stood around admiring the new plane, for it was a very beautiful one, with its large graceful wings and its long lines. It was colored a deep blue and on the side in gold letters was printed, W. H. H. S., '28. Finally, after all the preparations for the trip had been made and everything was ready, the passengers climbed in. When they had all seated themselves, Mozelle Bowen, our very efficient pilot, climbed into the cockpit: Olin Wilkinson, our mechanic, started the propeller and we hopped off for our voyage above the clouds. We had been in the air but a few minutes before we heard a sudden knocking of the engine, and the plane tilted suddenly forward. But our experienced pilot soon had the plane in hand and we sailed smoothly on again. Hours of thrilling sailing: and then we saw far below us the giant landing and beacon lights, and our pilot shouted back to us above the roar of the motor, that we were about to land. Soon we had made a safe landing and everyone scrambled out, with unveiled curiosity, to see what would happen next. After the last guest had climbed out a young aviation officer came up to us urging that we follow him and he would take us over to the hall in which the banquet was to be held. So we all followed him across the field until we came to a large building which was brilliantly lighted and decorated with blue and gold. We went up the stairs and were met at the door by other aviation officers who greeted us most cordially. As we walked into the great hall the orchestra began to play Cheer for the Blue and the Gold.” After we had found our places at the table our pilot rose and gave a hearty welcome to everyone. This was answered by Lieutenant Commander Preston Davis. Then there were many other toasts, and last a tribute to the Blue and the Gold, which was sung by the entire squadron. When the last echo had died away, a few notables of the crowd, filled with that ole school spirit,” rose to their feet and made very entertaining impromptu speeches. After a few more songs, the party reluctantly broke up, and all made their way back to the waiting plane, to sail into the dawn. As the plane took the air, the strains of our old school song floated softly down to the sleeping world below: “On the city's eastern border, Reared against the sky— Proudly stands our Alma Mater As the years roll by. Forward ever be our watchword! Conquer and prevail— Hail to thee our Alma Mater Haven High all hail! Page 8e vea tyiiinc i WA-H WA-HTA' SEE School Days Did you ever long in study hall When there is nothing else to do To fly out at the window Into the shining blue? Or when the weather is clear and crisp— Am I the only one Who'd like to sit upon the grass A basking in the sun? I'd rather do a hundred things Than to study ancient Rome, But when a test is being given I choose to be in Nome. —Evelyn Caffee. Saved by the Bell When I entered the Latin class. I was as nervous as could be My lessons I knew I could not pass And I was sure she would call on me. Her gaze swept round the room Till it finally settled on me. I started to read when BOOM'. BOOM! BOOM! The fire bell sure saved me. —Hiatte PRESNELL. To a Rattlesnake Despised am I. a crawling beast. Cursed by all human races; am spurned from any blessings feast, Destined to vain chasings; My shining scales are bruised and picked My diamond spon is shattered My undulating rolls are licked. My entire length is tattered. But hate can I and all full well For when my strike is true The man 1 bite is doomed for hell Or heaven, with clouds of golden hue Now die. thou scorner of my coils. And struggle with death's quick success. Only God my venom foils; Only a demon is my confessor. —Ross Allen. I'aye Eighty tilLO BIG HEARTED I would not be a selfish child. For early was I taught To give a part of all I have. As generous children ought; Not keeping everything myself, But sharing it with others. So. when I had the whooping-cough I gave it to my brothers. Last winter I was kept at home; The doctor came each day. We had a card outside the door To warn our friends away. No one might come to visit us, Yet. doing what I could. I gave my scarlet fever To half the neighborhood. And so it was with measles, And so with chicken-pox; I gave them to my little friends, On three surrounding blocks. And now that we are well again, It makes me laugh—ha! ha! To think that when I had the mumps. I gave them to papa! —Clipping. Lost: That school-girl complexion, Crosby Gray.
