Harriet Whitney High School - First Lady Yearbook (Toledo, OH)

Page 25 text:

The Student Council sponsored a Big Sister Party during which Vickie got acquainted with all the new students. Remember when she at- tended the journalistic conference at Waite High, at which one of our own Whitney girls was chosen Queen of the Arts . CVickie still feels she should have been chosen - - she should! I especially when the king was so handsome. The Clothing Classes originated the annual style show with Vickie as the loveliest model. Remember when the Student Council gave their third annual supper with all the students attending? fVickie recalls all too well how she ate too-o much and laughed too-0 hard.j At last our school was formally dedicated and named after one of Toledo's first teachers. Now Vickie is a member of a growing institution. The first May Queen ever presented at Whitney was a wow. COf course, Vickie again thought the selection all wrong. Did you ever see so much conceit'?J Annual tribute was paid to the seniors when they were entertained at the Junior-Senior Tea. Dear old Vickie surely swings a mean tea pot! Then there was election week, when officers for the Student Council and senior class were chosen with Vickie doing her bits of campaigning. The talent show sponsored by the Valeda Club gave her a swell chance to try out some of her gifts. to the honorific position of a high school senior. She had all due respects paid to her by the underclassmen. Oh yes, what a glorious feeling. With all the boys in defense training, Vickie and the girls planned many all-girl parties. . That last year, surely kept Vickie jumping- -'keeping up with her social activities and her co-op on the job. The senior banquet gave her a swell chance to have a good time with her pals. CNo boys. I guess they ate too much.J But at the senior prom, Vickie got a chance to bring her handsome friend and also to blossom out in a dashing formal. She certainly looked stunning. When commencement exercises are over, the seniors move on, mak- ing room for a new group of students. Oh yes, it seems like graduation time never comes. But it does. fSob!J You old softies, Csobj don't tell us those are tears in your eyes! Well, goodbye to all! We should like to stay for another four years, sniifle, sniifle, sniffle. For shame, and here we're supposed to be such grown-up seniors. Page nineteen

'yicfaie Znimecl A Remember when we all joined the ranks of the Vocational High iochool for Girls? We didn't have the dignified name of Harriet Whitney .at the time. Oh yes, good old Vickie guided us on our daily trip to the top floor of Webster. t But we weren't the only ones with whom Vickie had to become ac- -quaiflited. There were many new subjects offered and new instructors to teac us. u At the first W. P. A. dance how flushed and excited we were. Imag- ine seeing all those boys. Were you a little disappointed? Vickie wasn't. She d1dn't sit out one dance, the lucky girl! The grand Thanksgiving assembly put on by the Retailing Sopho- mores won aclaim from Vickie. Our six weeks Christmas lay-off came, after which poor Vickie had to move bag and books into the new school. Vickie so believed in the good neighbor policy that she could hardly concentrate on her mid-term exams. Whee! Vickie gets a chance to entertain those Usupermen from across the street when they were invited to View our new building and trip the light fantastic in the gym. That year Vickie and the student body searched for an appropriate name for the annual. Finally we christened it First Lady? Neat, don't you think? The most dramatic event, Vickie remembers, was the attempted .robbery when the poor janitor was slugged on the head. 'Uickie Jack again Vickie, back again, has progressed somewhat and is now a full- fledged junior. Q Vickie's number of schoolmates has increased and so have her sub- jects. Because like every other girl Vickie wants to have glamour, and be- cause there is always a place for such workers, a Cosmetology course was instigated. Vickie acquired the knowledge of caring for children properly in the new Home Management class. Our Tea Room was made available to the public, and for the first time, the retail store opened for patronage. An oil painting of Harriet Whitney by John Swalley was presented to Vickie and the student body. Page eighteen
