SIENTOR HISTORY We have reached it-graduation day is ours. Another milestone of life has been attained. Six years have passed since we first entered Willis High School as green little seventh graders. In compari- son with the years to come, these six years were quite short. Memories are all that remain of our won- derful days of high school. Some of these memories are very happy while others are sad. Six years ago we regarded Willis happily as we anticipated the good times we would have. The past six years have certainly lived up to these expectations. Do you remember the seventh grade? Willis was a gigantic building that year. The first couple of days we had a lot of trouble finding rooms. After a while, however, we began to recognize new faces and the whole affair of being in high school started to be lots of fun. This year marked the beginning of a new type of iunior high teaching program, the core program. We were glad to stay in one room half the day with a teacher we could really call our own. This first year found our main interest in scholastic affairs. Many of our fellow classmates made the honor and merit rolls. Naturally we found time for the numerous extra-curricular activities which were already beginning to fill up our schedules. The rec became a favorite meeting place of all the gang. We had a voice in the Student Representative Assembly lS.R.A.l - even if it was but a little one. The club program added much to our first year at Willis. The girls ioined the newly formed Junior Y-Teens while the boys ioined the Junior Hi-Y. Although the activities of the clubs were limited, they helped us to achieve a higher degree of responsibility and leadership. Time passed quickly and already we were storing up a wealth of memories for the future. Our eighth grade found us becoming the leaders instead of followers. We were old hands at the school- we even showed the younger pupils around the school. This year was really one of adventure for us. We continued to have a hand in school government. A Junior High S.R.A. was formed and we had our own Junior High Student Body President. With the aid of our core teachers, we started the Olympiad. The stadium at Community Field was transformed into the stadium at Helsinki, Finland, with all its pag- eantry. Remember how the girls insisted upon carrying those mammoth flags around the field? The boys were content to watch them suffer it out. Another first for our class was the Junior High newspaper, the Livewire. We had an opportunity to participate in more worthwhile clubs. We had an excellent club program. Everything from nature study to cheerleading was offered. Through the various clubs we met new friends and continued old friendships. A highlight of the year was the first Junior High Open House. The operetta club presented Over Mountain, River and Plain, and the dramatics club, Not Quite Such a Goose. There were also displays showing the activities of the various clubs and cores. A one-act play, The Knave of Hearts, was started during our eighth grade, but was not given until the ninth grade. The first iunior high yearbook was published and appropriately called The Panther. The first awards assem- bly was held that year and many of our pupils made that long trip up the aisle to receive their awards. A Junior High Girls Ensemble entertained. Our athletic program improved this year with the winning of the Central Buckeye League football championship. Many of us showed our school spirit by attend- ing every game-both home and away. The high stepping Willis Band included a sizable group of eighth graders. The biggest rivalry of the century was the eighth grade feud between T02 and 209. Tests and sports made these two classes always in competition. The hatchet was buried during a picnic at Blue Limestone Lake following the Olympiad. The long awaited moment of officially being in high school started with our Freshman year. This was our first year to be in homerooms by alphabetical order. lt was also our first year to change classes every period. The fellows had their first opportunity to participate in the high school athletic program, while the girls began their sports program. Our first formal was held on November 19. Everyone looked extra nice and the dance was one always to be remembered. Some of the boys interested in agriculture joined the Future Farmers of America. Doing this, they braved the worst ordeal of all -the initiation. F. F. A. initiations are long to be remembered by anybody participating in them. Our boys were no different. They were mighty sore the next day but wore triumphant smiles and beautiful blue F. F. A. jackets. The main club for girls was W-Teens, for the boys,-Hi-Y and Key Club. Some of the girls decided to try their hand at home economics and ioined the Future Homemakers, a newly-formed group. During that year we had a choir composed entirely of freshmen. The formation of a reserve basketball team for the boys brought about the need for freshman cheerleaders. Our voice in school affairs was main-
