.MQW A E339 0 ST Q39 Early in 1937, a group of graduates of the Wilmington J. H. S. entered Pierre S. duPont High School. This was the genesis of the january Class of 1940. The first few weeks were spent getting acquainted with the places and people. Then we selected our class leaders: Bill White, president, Audrey Welch, vice-president, Betty Day, secretaryg and Bob Goldey, treasurer. The remainder of this 10B term passed quickly and we returned in September as veterans. In our 10A year, our class oflicers were Bob Goldey, president, Audrey Welch, vice-president, Betty Day, secretary, and Chandler Davies, treasurer. The 11B term rolled around and found us full-fledged juniors, with Chandler Davies, president, Florence Hauger, vice-president, Audrey Welch, secretary, and Harris Weaver, treasurer. In 11A we had our first social affair, a glorious Hallowe'en party. It was held in the gymnasium, which was decorated as a barnyard, with everything essential to lend it a weird mysterious atmosphere. joan Black was general chairman of this affair. Our oflicers at this time were Bill Hirons, president, Florence Hauger, vice- president, Doris Cline, secretary, Chandler Davies, treasurer. As 12B's, we presented our Reception for the parents and teachers. The theme of this gathering was based upon excerpts from the life of Stephen Foster. Kitty Voss, Harris Weaver, Jeannette Keegan, Doris Maxwell, and William Hirons played the principal roles in this production. Doris Maxwell was general chairman of this activity. Dick Swearer was president, Fay Davis, vice-president, Florence Hauger, secretary, and George Singley, treasurer, during this term. Finally we reached our goal, graduating seniors. Howdy Stranger, a hilarious comedy, was presented on October 21 and 22, as our senior play. Jeannette Keegan, as jane, and Tom Harkness, as Elly, enacted the leading roles, while George Samuels, Bernard Fischer, and Dick Baldwin supplied the laughs. These foregoing paragraphs record our activities during the shortest three years of our life. May they always recall pleasant memories. BENJAMIN SIMON
