lCllJ,l HISTORU OF THE SENlOR CLASS for two reasons. First, the new building was ready for use: and second, the CTOBER R, 1923, was the beginning of a red letter period at Wichita High School - future seniors of 1926 graced the school with their presence as sophomores. - The whole school had a rather unique experience in going to school on Satur- day to make up the time lost in opening school one month late. When the building was completely finished, the sophomores met in the auditorium and discovered that they were the largest class ever enrolled in W. H. S. It had approximately twelve hundred members. Robert Bell was chosen president to guide them through the remaining terrors of the' first year. The class was fortunate in that the seniors were lost just as easily as the sophomores in the uncompleted building. On Field Day, the sophomores were equally divided between the juniors and seniors and, because of their help, the 1924 seniors were able to win that year. V The next fall, school opened with just one difference-the sophomores were iuniors. They looked with pity at the poor sophomores and with awe at the seniors. This year, Howard Fullington was elected president. The class was well represented in every line of activity from music to football. Two members of the class, Howard Fullington and George McCormick, were on the team that won the national basket ball championship of 1925. On Field Day, the expectations of the seniors were sadly upset by the victory of the juniors This was considered the climax of an ex- cellent year. Last fall the same students entered school hardly realizing that they were the seniors. At the class election, Howard was re-elected for president. During the first three months, everyone was busy with chemistry. American history, and other enlight- ening subjects, but two weeks before Christmas, all forgot their studies for a night and went to the first senior party. One of the main attractions was a wedding, with Santa Claus as the groom. The identity of the bride had been kept secret. When at last they appeared, Santa Claus was found to be Mr. Brooks, and his blushing bride, Uncle Benny. Most of the seniors recovered from this in time to enjoy the holi- days. ' February 12, besides being Lincoln's birthday and the day of the Newton- VN'ichita game, was rube day. All the dignified seniors blossomed forth in aprons and overalls. Every one enjoyed it, even the sophs, because the seniors didn't seem so much older and wiser than they. That day marked the beginning of the senior activities. On February 19, they held a Martha Washington party. There was a larger attendance at this party than at the Christmas party. Girls, dressed in Martha Washington costumes, served refreshments. The seniors are planning many more things before graduation. There will be Senior Day, the picnic, Class Day, the senior play, the banquet, and Field Day. The class of '26 is the first class to take its full course of three years in the new XV. H. S. and they are justly proud of it. This class, also, is the largest class to ever graduate from Wichita High School. Pa e T en 1
