Wayne Haglin, vice-president, Margie Springborg, treasurer, Neva Fitzsimmons, secretaryg and Richard Frisch, president SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Confused and bewildered, the graduating class of 1950 first entered the halls of W.H.S. in the fall of 1947. Now, full of poise and confidence in their own abilities, they are about to go forth into the world. Always an asset to school life, these 170 graduates will endeavor to enrich society. Able leadership traits soon showed themselves as officers were elected. They were Dick Lunceford, presidentg Owen Klasen, vice-president, Bonnie Caughey, secretary, and Janet Voss, treasurer. Highlighting the year were the spring party and the picnic. During the year many class members ioined various organizations and were active members on numerous committees. Leading an eventful iunior year were Chester Johnson, presidentg Richard Syverson, vice-presidentg Rosemary Hadersbeck, secretary, and Art Tangwell, treasurer. Brother Goose, the class play, was presented under the direction of Miss H, Winters. The beautiful memories of the prom, which had an Old South theme, still linger. Members of the class actively represented the class in many organizations as well as in all phases of athletics. Completing a memorable year was a picnic at Shore Acres. Then, almost suddenly, eleven years of school were be- hind us and the class was plunged into the whirl of being seniors. This included the elegant Christmas banquet, the prom, the senior tea, and finally the picnic on skip day. Stellar members of the football squad were co-captains Dan Smith and Ray Maxe, Art Tangwell, Wayne Little, Jim Dullum, Richard Gleason, Don Lyonais, Tom Levig, Allan Westberg, Bruce Pellitier, Richard Johnson, Bruce Lee, and John Fullerton. Reigning beauty of the homecoming fes- tivities was Queen Glee Hartwig. Seniors sparking the championship basketball team were co-captains Bill Marshall and Don Smith, Howard Hohensee, Wayne Little, and Alan Westberg. A spine-tingling mystery, The Face on the Stairs, was given April 25th under the direction of Miss H. Winters.
