Willie Everlearn Witnesses: M. T. Head Lena Ginster CLASS HISTORY As we, the class of l94O, approach graduation let us glance back over the four years we have spent together in high school. We entered high school as freshmen in l956, and were glad to find that Mr. Jump would be our home room teacher. After initiation we elected these officers: pres- ident, John Wackg vice president, Del Court, secretary-treasurer, Martha Woolf. We had two parties besides initiation, one, a Halloween masquerade, the other, a weiner roast at Sevakeen. In the fall of l957, we chose Lowell Baker, presidentg David Long, vice presi- dentg and Martha Woolf, secretary-treasurer. Because of crowded conditions we were moved to the seventh grade room where we spent our sophomore year with Mr. Wagstaff.
