WHISPERER SENIOR HISTORY 1 Difficulties and lots of fun packed the early years. The gangs, pick-up baseball 5 teams, backyard football games, girls' clubs and helping the teacher after school, is became the most important things in our lives as we went through the early grades. Then, at last, theppportunity which we had looked forward to for years. We had 6? iv passed into Junior High and must take our books every morning and change classes. 5 The eighth grade was a full year for the class of thirty, a most interesting and H, enjoyable year. Mr. Work organized a junior high basketball team. Much hard prac- C, tice followed, and the team ran smoothly and victoriously through its schedule, out- fighting and outplaying nearly every opposing team. The operetta, The Torreadors played to a packed house of over a thousand people. Entering the first chapel as Freshmen, cocksureness and poise were pretended, but we looked silly, and we somehow knew it. Then came the embarrassing and humb- gf ling kidding from the upper classmen, and worst of all-everybody knew it was com- ing-we had to leave the auditorium first to the loud hoots and handclapping of the rest of the student body. H Then regular activities started. Blaine Mansfield was elected president, Martha ,Q 5' Amweg, vice-president, and Richard Curtis, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Sunderman was chosen class advisor. As Freshmen, this class of thirty distinguished itself. Five Fresh- I gf men boys turned out for football and stuck on the squad the whole season. That Q record has not been equalled since. In basketball, Joe Williams not only made the varsity, but was star forward and helped win games. Both Niles Williams and Joe 3 Williams made the varsity baseball nine. In our sophomore year we elected Lyman Gerould, presidentg Joe Williams, vice- l presidentg and Ruby Watkins, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Sunderman was again advisor. l cf Here studies were harder. It took more real studying and less showing off to keep up. Clyde Shaw fought it out on the gridiron to become varsity guard. Seven others made the traveling squad. Three Sophomores, Joe Williams, Donald Sonnanstine, and Niles ch Williams, played on the Red and White varsity quintet. This same trio upheld the Red and White colors of W. H. S. on the baseball diamond. Several more of' the class l 5 gf were added to both glee Clubs, orchestra and the band. Three sophomores carried lead parts in the important annual high school musical comedy. Activities started off immediately in our Junior year, and came fast and thick ex until the last day of school. Ted Cox, president, accompanied by Dallas Trent, vice- If 5' president, and Jim Westbrook, secretary-treasurer, called a meeting the first week i of school. Donald Sonnanstine brought in more glory by making the varsity eleven ,ai and out-punting every enemy punter he played against. However, this was only a drop in the bucket. Eight Junior boys made football VV's, both Don Houston and Jim Westbrook Hashed out of the second team ranks to play on the varsity basket- x ball team, making a total of four Juniors on the team of five men. Organization if f presidents and leaders in all activities cropped out from all over the class and four , Juniors took leading parts in the annual musical comedy. Nothing But the Truth if was produced as a class play. is Then came the long awaited event. For weeks previously, committees had been working to prepare the gymnasium for the Junior-Senior banquet. Boys dressed in 5 their best, and girls in dainty, long evening gowns radiating freshness and splendor, F9 danced through the shaded gym, which was beautifully decorated to represent the deck GJ of an ocean liner. The dancing and music went on for hours, then every one left. School was nearly over, the balmy spring air of the night smelled sweetly, one of the greatest events of high school life had been enjoyed and everybody was happy. ' This year, the Seniors opened activities by electing officers. John Noggle was i 3 made president, Blaine Mansfield, vice-president and Ben Hunt, secretary-treasurer. 1 Seven Seniors battled for the Red and White colors on the gridiron. On the bas- l gd ketball floor appeared four Seniors playing on that hard fighting, smooth passing quintet, which emerged with a victorious record. As in former years, the Class of '30 again contributed greatly to the baseball and track teams. Nearly every organization 'j Q. in high school was headed by a Senior. if It seemed that we had learned how to enjoy high school more. Things ran more smoothly and more naturally. Parties were looked forward to anxiously, more took gf part in having a lot of good times at these parties. Our last Junior-Senior Prom was looked forward to much more anxiously. Finally, the evening arrived. Even more l splendor prevailed at the impressive banquet and more gaiety was enjoyed as the l 3 graceful couples danced through the beautifully decorated gymnasium. The dignified preparation for the impressive graduation exercises. Then it was all ' over. Couples arrived early in the morning, and the Senior class met for the last time for the Senior breakfast in the crisp morning air by the lake. -By Ted Cox Page eighteen Sf Q 1 9 3 0 ....
