Marjora Fiser CLASS MOTTO Today Decides Tomorrow CLASS FLOWER CLASS COLORS Blue Morning-glory Blue and White I The year of lU-Lil brings to a close four years of trials and tribulations for the seniors. Wfhen we were freshmen we knew that we knew. As sophomores we didnit know, but didn't know we didnit know. ln our junior year, we didn't know that we didnit know that wc didnil know. And now weire seniors and we still donit know, but we know that we donit know. The boys in this yearis graduating class have distinguished themselves by play- ing on championship football and basketball teams. Clyde Coon, Clide Ford, Gene liebout, Lloyd Miller, David Balyeat, Vernon Palmer, Richard Wliitcraft, ,lack Davis, Thomas Callaway, Richard Showalter were on the football team. Richard Showalter was placed on all-slate and Lloyd Miller iUSMCt was given honorable mention on the same team. Cene Rebout, Clide Ford and Thomas Callaway helped the basketball learn to glory as district winners, the first ever for VWHS. Seniors have kept the membership in the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y clubs high. Cabinet members in the C. R. from our class include Virginia Olberding, President, June Poling, Jackie Mahan, Barbara Schriener, Bonnie Preston, Eleanor Hall. About twenty girls from the C. R. aided in the fourth war loan drive by selling bonds in local factories. which was a great contribution to the drive. The Hi-Y, too. is well represented with senior ofHcers who are Allen Willmert, l'rcsident, Vernon Pahncr. jack Clifton, besides a membership of about ten seniors. These two groups have done much in bettering the school and city. This year more than ever before in the history of the school, students are work- ing after classes and on Saturdays. The war is very close to us and we want to help in every possible way. Working seems at good way and our earnings are being saved and put into war bonds. The senior members of the National Honor Society are Barbara Beard, Yvonne Leatherman, Earl Rarson, Allen Vifillmert, Virginia Olberding, Dorcas Owens, Jack Clifton. Yvonne Callapoo, Susan Cocke, Doris Green, Eleanor Hall, Mary Hofmann. Richard lreton, Arthur Milligan. Mildred Richey, Ronnie Preston, Paul Ross, and ,lunc Waitman. There are six boys from our class who are in the armed service and to whom. in part. this yearbook has been dedicated. Army Air Corps: Harlan Taylorg Army: XVayne Scott: Navy: james Miller, Harold Shaw, Elmer John Wiriters, Jr.: USMC: Lloyd Miller. Besides these fellows about eight more reserves are waiting call for induction. Al least the boys don't have to worry about what they will do after graduating.
