Wendall was the first sophomore in local history to attain this honor. Dorothy Archibald teamed with Wendall in debate contests and made many a debate team quake in their boots 0 Entering the uupper-classman bracket in the fall of forty-two, marked by increasing intellectual maturity and social poise, we did our bit toward promoting a successful year. At the senior breakfast, draftees from our junior class served and put on a program for our graduating elders. The theme followed was HThe Nineties Were Gay, and many a senior was glad to be alive in the forty-three,s after seeing a silhouette version of Frankie and Johnny 0 Each year an honor guard is chosen from the junior class to escort the seniors down the last high school mile. Juniors rating the highest scholastically are selected. Those of us who made up the honor guard for the graduating class of forty-three were Reva Rowley, Carol East, Helen Starr, Wendall Lansing, Bob Young and Fabian Stanton.

Pictures of ourselves thoroughly decorated loom in our memories as though they occurred yesterday. Even Mr. Lawrence, co-sponsor with Miss Battin that year, was not immun- ized against the ravages of the enthusiastic sophies 0 We soon came out of our daze, with Richard McCobb, Harold Bailey, and Chuck Hubbs supplying the sports ability; and Loreen Lower and Roy Gould furnishing the brains 0 After passing from the attic in the auditorium into the more desirable sophomore section, we were feeling the usual sophomore cockiness. Since we couldn,t obtain revenge on those who had initiated us the year before, we attacked the unseasoned frosh with a vengeance. The wind was soon taken out of our sails by the lowly freshmen, however, who defeated us at the Football Rally.
